My husband and I are scheduled for our 1st cruise on 07-26-10. This is our 25th anniversary. Our TA booked us in room 7244 on Empress deck. Has anyone stayed in or around this room??? Would appreciate any reviews.

 I'm booked for 7246 in a couple of weeks - I'll try to remember to come back and give you the skinny!

We just got back on 10/29 and had a room on the odd numbered side.  The rooms are clean and neat but smaller than a hotel or motel.  The only problem I had was that I kept stubbing my toes because I would forget to step up to go out on the balcony or into the bathroom.  Hope you all have  good trip. 

 Sorry, I can't help you there, we went on the western Caribbean cruise.  I saw lockers in the island village shopping center in Ocho Rios, Jamaica but i haven't been on the eastern cruise yet.
