Whatever happened to the Sovereign of the Seas?

[CroozDoggie]

First cruise for my DW and I was a seven night Eastern Caribbean on the Sovereign of the Seas in May of 1992. Many fond memories. She was a grand ship for her time. :)

She was our 1st Royal Caribbean cruise and been hooked ever since.::cool:

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!!!

 

Wow! I'll be sure to take a picture when I am on the Allure in May :-)

What a cool bit of Trivia! Sovereign of the Seas was also my first cruise on RCCL...also our Honeymoon cruise.

 

 

Our honeymoon was on Sovereign also! My sister and her husband honeymooned on her a week after we did :)

The old girl seems to be a lot of our "firsts". She definitely got me hooked on cruising and RCCL. She looks beautiful now.

An improvement, IMO. The two tone blue is classy.

I agree. I think it adds an aire of sleekness to her look.

I loved that ship, 1st cruise on RCCL was on her in either 1988 or 1989 , then got enganged on her in 1990, got enganged just before St Thomas so we could pick out ring there.

Hi,

 

I cruised aboard the Sovereign of the Seas in the summer of 1988 (when the ship was only six months old). Back then, the Sovereign was doing seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruises. The ship was a true trendsetter and the first ship with a large atrium, glass elevators, etc. In the late 1980's the Sovereign was in a class by herself (similar to the Oasis / Allure today). In 1995, I did another seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Sovereign. This was an interesting itinerary because it included both CocoCay and Labadee. I have many wonderful memories of this ship.

She was our 1st and 2nd cruise......Loved the clock in the atrium!!!

We were on the 10th voyage back in 1988 when she was brand new and return some 20 years later in 2008. Loved that ship and miss her

Was also my first cruise but not as a passenger. I got a job as a bus boy and lasted two days before deciding the working conditions were not for me. Never got to see her public areas other than the restaurant. I need the model ship from her to complete my collection :)

[dna529]

My first cruise also! Was wondering about her. Good to know!

We did our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, another & another on her. It was time they retired her.

This is Sovereign in December 2013 as we pulled in to Salvador De Bahia, Brazil on Splendour of the Seas:)

 

Unfortunately we never got to sail on Sovereign in Royal colours.

I was fortunate to sail on the Sovereign twice in the late 80's. I am pretty sure I saw it October 2012 when we boarded a transatlantic on the Liberty out of Barcelona. What a nice memory I had of that ship and happy the Majesty is still cruising. I'm on that one tomorrow, Monday.
