Empress Junior Suites on Cuba cruise

We are sailing in 2 weeks and just upgraded to JS. I have read several posts and not sure if we get anything extra for the upgrade. Basically on Empress you get "a little" more room and a balcony. For anyone who has previously done this cruise, what "extras" are included with the Junior Suite. I have read some people say you get free water, coffee maker in room, etc.

Thanks for you help!

No free water and yes there was a coffee maker but nothing else. I was able to get on the ship faster

Opens your cabin door.

There is "free" water ALL OVER THE SHIP! Any bar or restaurant will give you ice water upon request. Make sure you ask for ice to be in your cabin daily, so you can have ice water in there, too! The water that comes from your sink is the same water they use in the food, ice and beverages! And...it's INCLUDED in your fare!

I agree we always refill a water bottle on the ship. It is easy.

I do as well, 40+ cruises.

However, the tap water on Empress in June was undrinkable - several fellow pax mentioned it too. There was a funky, moldy taste to it that I have never before encountered on a ship.

Due, no doubt to the age of the systems.

Take all the bottles of water they offer you, for this reason, and it is quite hot and muggy in Havana. Be sure to drink only bottled water on shore.

You have a JS, so I believe you may have a fridge.

There are no fridges in any other cabins. Also a first for me, I was in an OV..

We had a JS on the Empress back in July, and there was NOT a fridge. Would have been nice to have one, but there wasn't one. Heck, there really wasn't even room for one.

OP- be aware- the JS on the Empress are about the same size or smaller than normal balconies on most other ships. To us, it was still worth it, as we were out at 6am watching us come into port just like we were out when we left. Totally awesome.
