Empress OV Cabins

[TMLAalum]

Are there any large OV cabins on the Empress of the Seas? The RCCL website provides very limited information about cabin size variations for OV cabins, but looking at deck plans it seems to me there may be some "hidden gems". Seeking insight from those who've cruised in an OV on the Empress. Thanks!

Yes the ov cabins are very small on empress. No sofa in the cabin like other ships but there are just a couple spacious ov cabins. Check out cabins 7664 7164 also deck 8 and maybe deck 9 has them.

Same cabins on 8 and 9 are larger.  7664, 8664 and 9664 all have a second window. There are videos on YouTube.

We are booked in 8664 for a September Empress cruise - if it doesn't get cancelled. Check out this thread:

Thanks! I did check out the other threads mentioned here. If we can get one of the OVs mentioned here, the savings over a jr. suite would sway me to forgo a veranda.

Swapped our Jewel cruise for the 10/4/2021 Empress yesterday. Snagged the last of the larger 2 window OVs- 7664. But should jr. suite pricing come down we might change; however the 2k difference currently was too rich for us at the moment!
