Deck Plan
Sports Deck
The topmost passenger deck is Sports Deck, which is accessible only by external stairways. This deck contains s small gym and a half-court basketball court. This deck provides the perfect vantage point for taking photographs of departures and arrivals.
Sun Deck
Amidships
there are twenty six cabins and four suites. Aft there are two public rooms,
the Commodore and the Mermaid Lounge. The Commodore Lounge is an
intimate room, and the perfect for pre-dinner cocktails. Thankfully, this
delightful room has retained much of the original character of when she was the
luxury Greek Line Trans Atlantic Liner,
Promenade Deck
Promenade
Deck houses public areas aft, whilst forward is a large range of
accommodations. Forward there are ten Verandah Suites, six open to the sea,
whist four have enclosed Lainai’s. Just aft is
the stairwell with two lifts and the Tours Office. Further aft again there are
32 deluxe cabins with large windows. As the fully air-conditioned glass
enclosed promenade are on both sides of the ship, all windows have been mirror
treated on the outside, affording full privacy, In addition, Promenade Deck
also has five inside cabins.
The
ships pool two Jacuzzis is located aft of Promenade deck. When built, the ship
had three pools, one each for First Class, Tourist Class and one for the crew. Just
forward of the pool, there is an outdoor bandstand, Pool Bar, and a Pizzeria.
Indoors there is a card room, children’s playroom, and Internet café, as
well as the elegant Library.
Upper Deck
The Grand Lounge is located aft on this deck.
This room is more like a Night Club rather than a Show Lounge, yet the evening
shows are held here. It is intimate as audience members are never more than 14 rows
away from the stage. Aft of this lounge is the ships medical centre and deck
space, which is the perfect place to view the wake of the ship. Just forward of
the Grand lounge is the intimate Mirage
Night Club and Disco.
The
balance of this deck is mostly occupied by cabins, including two suites located
forward. Located at the main lobby is the Information Desk and the Hair Dresser
Salon, as well as massage facilities
Restaurant Deck
Aft of
the lobby on the starboard side is the photo shop and gallery, which leads to
the Caribbean Dining Room, which is a stunning restaurant. This room reveals the original beauty of the
Main, A- and
B-Decks
The following three decks are accommodation
decks only.
Although Regal Empress has three lifts these do not
service all decks. The forward lift connects all but the top deck, and the aft
lift connects all but the top two decks. The third lift accesses only three
decks. As there are stairs even from one lounge to another on the same deck,
This is not the best ship for those with mobility problems.

reading this page and this much loved passenger liner. If you have sailed on
her I would like to hear from you, and if you have any photographs I would
greatly appreciate some, especially those of the interiors and out on deck.
