[Cruisin Princess]

does anyone have any recent info on the monarch?? haven't been on this ship, but found a great deal and not sure if i should take it. is the ship in good shape?? how small are the outside cabins on decks two and three?? where are the smoking areas?? any help would really be appreciated!!!

The Cabins are tiny, but adequate for a 3/4 night cruise. The ship, although older is still in teriffic shape. Go on this cruise and you are right, there are great prices on these trips. Go and enjoy.

We were on the Monarch last spring and was pleasantly surprised at what terrific shape she was in. Also, her crew was stellar! Our regular OV cabin on Deck 4 was 122 sq. ft., which translates to TINY, but who cares? We were hardly in it, and it met our needs. I do not think you will regret going on this lovely ship.

We have been on Monarch several times, and each time we are impressed with her wonderful crew. While Monarch is the oldest ship in the fleet now, it is kept in great shape. The cabins are tiny, but adequate. Give her a try, you won't be disappointed.

Just completed our 6th Monarch cruise this year, yesterday.

 

Ship is in overall good shape, with some minor wear, here and there.

 

With respect to smoking, here is the policy, right from the Compass:

" The Monarch of the Seas is primarily a non-smoking ship and no smoking is allowed in the staterooms, corridors, lounges and dining areas. Smoking is permitted on the starboard side of selected lounges and on the starboard side of the open decks. Please see posted bar hours for smoking bar locations".

 

Not mentioned but smoking is also allowed in the casino.

 

Any other questions, just ask.

Dittos to all the good things mentioned about the Monarch. JUST DO IT!

You'll enjoy her and her spectacular crew! :D

Enjoyed the ship for the first time in September - great for a weekend getaway when all you want to do is have fun with your friends or family without eating up vacation time. Going to do it again in February - can't wait!

Tiny cabins but an excellent, friendly crew! Go enjoy!
