runner15km Posted March 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2014 In November 2008 Sovereign of the Seas was transferred to the fleet of Pullmantur Cruises and renamed MS Sovereign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng23 Posted March 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2014 She's sailing as MS Sovereign for Royal Caribbean subsidiary Pullmantur Cruises That's correct. She sails with other former Royal Caribbean ships such as the former Monarch of the Seas and Empress of the Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkCruiser24 Posted March 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I loved Sovereign of the Seas my father took me on her for my 17th birthday! Sadly a few years ago she was transferred to one of Royals other companies. The smaller Pullmater (sorry, I know it's mis-spelled) cruise lines. She actually doubled the entire fleets passenger occupancy! Monarch of the Seas followed sovereign last year. Both are missed by many!

LindaO Posted March 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2014 She was my first cruise... I do miss her. But a piece of her is on the Allure and Oasis!!

LindaO Posted March 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Since it can only be in one place at a time, it is on the Oasis. :) Actually... there were two Crown and Anchors on the Sovereign. One Port, One Starboard. One is on the Oasis and one is on the Allure. And I actually found out about it when they were added to the ships -- I know someone on the construction team. There are two more in storage. But, yes, Captain Johnny does tell the story!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two more that are in storage would be from the Monarch of the Seas and my guess would be that one of those C&A's will be on the third Oasis Class ship under construction.....

donnad08 Posted March 14, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted March 14, 2014 That is awesome!!! I will have to look for it when I sail on the Allure in November. I would love to sail on her again though.

uksimonusa Posted March 14, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The plan WAS to use the crown and anchors from Sovereign for Oasis and Allure, however when then got them to the ship yard, they were found to be the wrong size and heavily corroded, so new ones were made, this was confirmed by Adam in his blog.

Technically, you may be right... They were 'rebuilt' as I know the craftsmen who worked on the project and they did have to replace most of the out skin... but the structure did come from the Sovereign. They had to be retro-fitted for the new placement. I've been lucky enough to see pictures of the process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne95 Posted March 14, 2014 #25 Share Posted March 14, 2014 OK, I just have to chime in here too. She was my first ship as well. I will always remember how awestruck I was the first time I stepped inside. The green stairs, the glass, the big clock (which didn't work, but was still so cool!) As we pulled away out into the beautiful blue, I got sick as can be! Spent the first 2 days in my cabin, and it was a 4 day cruise! It took a couple of years but we tried it again, on the Mariner this time. I was only sick one day...and I have been hooked ever since! Like so many, we sail on her again during her last year with RCCL. I had been on many different ships by that time...but I enjoyed every moment. Nice to know she's still out there, sailing the big blue, and showing others a fun time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
