As Florida's only two-night cruise to Nassau/Paradise Island in The Bahamas, Imperial Majesty Cruise Line's M/V Regal Empress (www.imperialmajesty.com) offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a quick vacation or an introduction to cruising. Departing every other day from Fort Lauderdale, the classic ship spends a full day in Nassau, within walking distance of shops and restaurants and a short water-taxi ride across the harbor to Paradise Island. Fares range from $129 to $499 per passenger, based on double occupancy and including port and service fees. The 1,180-passenger ship offers all the modern amenities and services of longer cruises, but in an intimate setting recalling a bygone era. With her sleek bowed hull and tiered aft decks, the graceful looking ship retains many features of the historic ocean liners. Rich wood paneling, etched glass, ornate wall sconces, oil paintings, an original mural of New York, an enclosed promenade deck and spacious staterooms are among the unique features. The 610-foot Regal Empress offers passengers fine dining with ocean views, midnight buffet, Las Vegas-style casino, complimentary champagne reception, live entertainment, disco and several lounges. The ship also has a full-service beauty salon, gift shop, medical center and children's program.
