Rare BillOh Posted February 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I was visiting family in a different city tonight. On their cable they have a channel called AWE. I saw a show called DREAM CRUISES. Tonight it was featuring Sovereign cruising the Med out of Barcelona. I've seen photos of the ship in port, but the first I've seen the ship sent she went to her new owners. You can still see the Royal roots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADflyer Posted February 28, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well, Pullmantur is a subsidiary of RCI and if you can get by with information in Spanish, the cruises are available for booking. Oddly, sailings on Sovereign are more expensive than sailing on newer ships from NCL or MSC in the MED. I saw that Majesty will be calling on Grand Cayman weekly, every Tuesday, in 2016 after she leaves RCI and joins Pullmantur, though I am not sure where she will be home ported.

deliver42 Posted February 28, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I was on the Sovereign once and the Majesty twice, and loved both of them. Even then, Royal had the competition beat with these ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I taped the show last night, and DREAM CRUISES is doing a special on Navigator in the next two weeks - I saw it on TiVo, and set it to tape that show too. The best episode was the Antarctic cruise on Pontant. Amazing trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigque Posted February 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) aw our first cruise :D and thats what got us addicted to cruising :D Same here! It had a lot of bad reviews back then but we took the cruise anyway and loved it and here we are still cruising today. The picture on my profile is the picture I took on that first cruise while anchored in Coco Cay! Edited February 28, 2015 by bigque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBSteelerfan Posted March 1, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Sovereign was also our first time on Royal. Loved the ship, and sailing Royal ever since! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeywestK Posted March 1, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Love Sovereign. Our first cruise, and the one responsible for my addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancruzs Posted March 1, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Wow, my 1st "bigger" ship! :) Started cruising in 1982, Princess and NCL. Ships were smaller in those days. My TA told me Royal Caribbean had "single" friendly fares, why didn't I try one of their new ships? I was skeptical but I loved the Sovereign, had a great time back in 1995, twenty years ago! Now this year I'm sailing on the Vision for 25 days, which is really the size I prefer but if I want to cruise to far away places, I have to adjust. Next year I'll be on a big ship again.

Splendor and Rhapsody are in Brazil & South America as well as Europe and Dubai. Vision is in Europe. And lots of repositioning cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted March 2, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I taped the show last night, and DREAM CRUISES is doing a special on Navigator in the next two weeks - I saw it on TiVo, and set it to tape that show too. The best episode was the Antarctic cruise on Pontant. Amazing trip! I wish I had that channel at home, I'd love to see Navigator again, especially in her newer stage. The show was interesting to watch. They definitely pretty'd Soverign up, she looks good. If I was going to the Med, I don't know I would have called this one a dream cruise.

Daghis Posted March 2, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've sailed on Majesty and Monarch, but not on Sovereign. I assume that they're all pretty similar. That said, I watched this program and I didn't recognize anything about her except for the general layout of some of the venues. They really did make her look like a different ship in the video! When they showed a cabin, it was a suite, of course. They didn't show the tiny inside/oceanview cabins. :) Dream Cruises does a very good job of showing a cruise ship in her best light.

WEGL81 Posted March 2, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 2, 2015 This ship marked a near 20 year absence from cruising for us and re-started our cruising addiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icruzthere4Iam Posted March 2, 2015 #21 Share Posted March 2, 2015 She was my first and I was hooked before we left port the first day! Nice to see her looking good and sailing to some amazing places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
