Still in service in 2009 at over 50 years old, Caribe I was built in 1953 as the Greek Liner Olympia. She was laid up from 1974-1981 after the Greek Line failed. She was bought by Commodore in 1981, and following a two-year refit she sailed as Caribe I from 1983-1993, when she was sold to Regal Cruises as Regal Empress. In 2004 she was transferred to Imperial Majesty.

The incredible shrinking ship: in 1953 Olympia was listed at just under 23,000 gross tons. Since becoming Regal Empress, she's been listed at 14,000 gross tons. Since 1/3 of the ship hasn't been hacked off, there must have been a measurement error somewhere along the line.
