MattInFLL Posted August 26, 2015 #76 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Each ship in the fleet has a two letter designation used by Royal for internal identification. So MN = Monarch, EN = Enchantment, MJ = Majesty, etc etc. Don't you know that acronyms make you feel important, because "you're in the know..." :p:D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 26, 2015 #77 Share Posted August 26, 2015 ...Surprisingly, no mention of Enchantment! I thought the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInFLL Posted August 26, 2015 #78 Share Posted August 26, 2015 444 Cruiser, airports do close for hurricanes and airlines don't like millions of dollars of jets sitting on airport tarmacs where they could get hit by debris. Since you land at 10am and you are presumably coming from the north or west, there's a chance your flight could get in before the airport closed. But everything is up in the air right now. There are plenty of times when we in South Florida have been in this situation, and the storm dissolves into nothing more than heavy rain by the time it gets here.

PH8 Posted August 26, 2015 #79 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks a bunch Bob. I'm on here (mostly lurking) quite a bit and was wondering too. Acronyms are SO over used. It doesn't take but another second to type the whole thing. BTW :p, how the heck does one get Monarch of the Seas out of MN? Not like we made it up..RCCL did.... How about SS(Sovereign)?? Talk about no rhyme or reason... Edited August 26, 2015 by PH8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted August 26, 2015 #80 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm watching the latest updates....Erika will be south of PC Sunday..........so think we'll head out on FR and go due East?? OR could it be a remote possibility,FR wont even come back on time,since they would be coming in from the south???:confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted August 26, 2015 #81 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Not like we made it up..RCCL did.... How about SS(Sovereign)?? Talk about no rhyme or reason... SS was actually the acronym for Sovereign?! I wasn't yet on CC when she was still around. What was wrong with SV? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted August 26, 2015 #82 Share Posted August 26, 2015 SS was actually the acronym for Sovereign?! I wasn't yet on CC when she was still around. What was wrong with SV? :rolleyes: That would be logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInFLL Posted August 26, 2015 #83 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) If the forecasts hold, it's going to be very hard for ships leaving out of PC or Port Everglades or Miami on Sunday to get south and into the Western Caribbean if the storm is barreling down on the Bahamas at 2pm Sunday. That would be an interesting ride. Can't imagine they would risk going east out past the Bahamas (or North) with the track being so uncertain. And Monday would definitely look to be a day at sea for any ships scheduled to turn around that day. Edited August 26, 2015 by MattInFLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInFLL Posted August 26, 2015 #84 Share Posted August 26, 2015 When Sovereign debuted in 1989 or 90 wasn't she the first ship to be named "...of the Seas" - so SS would actually make sense in that case. But generally you can't rely on Royal to be logical. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abodom68 Posted August 26, 2015 #85 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I've got people on EN this weekend, they won't be surprised if it ends up being a cruise to nowhere. No big deal, it happened to us on MN once and we still had a lot of fun. We're on EN this wknd! We were on the cruise to nowhere on MN with you a few years back!

But generally you can't rely on Royal to be logical. :) I think the two letters also have to be unique among all their cruise lines (Celebrity, Azamara, etc.) too, because I've seen some email addresses for Celebrity ships that are the same @rccl.com format as Royal ships.

DarthGrady Posted August 26, 2015 #87 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We're on EN this wknd! We were on the cruise to nowhere on MN with you a few years back! Maybe you guys will get lucky and get a couple of extra nights out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted August 26, 2015 #88 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have this gut feeling the FR will NOT come into PC on Sunday...maybe get another day or so out of it...then those of us on the Aug 30th one,will be shortchanged..:( Well,can't do anything about it......except hope Erika fizzles REAL soon..

How awesome that would be (as long as I'm not running into walls down hallways)! If the waves hold out I'll stay out as long as I need to! I'll sacrifice!

We had a forward cabin, it was like a rollercoaster at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamamzee Posted August 26, 2015 #92 Share Posted August 26, 2015 So, if Enchantment can't return on Monday, what happens to the EN cruise that leaves on Monday? We're not in the dilemma as others are since we live in northeast Florida but we were looking forward to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTownNick Posted August 26, 2015 #93 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) We're on EN this wknd! We were on the cruise to nowhere on MN with you a few years back! I'm also on EN Friday! Join our roll call!! Yeah, I have a feeling it will be a cruise to nowhere. Doesn't matter. It's still a cruise. I think they will be snug in Port Canaveral sometime on Sunday. With the extra space, there should be room Edited August 26, 2015 by OTownNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishLassie Posted August 26, 2015 #96 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I don't see why they can't get back into PC on Sunday, they got back during "Sandy" and we were on the ship! :eek: Just hoping for the best and I want to be on board this Sunday!!! Hoping it just fizzles like Danny did.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PH8 Posted August 26, 2015 #99 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Seriously????:mad: Well yes..if the previous cruise didn't come back till Tuesday, then your cruise would be shortened a day so it came back on Friday.

bouhunter Posted August 26, 2015 #100 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I agree! We are bringing lots of card games and plan to play cards with our friends from Ocala. Our friend from PR is not making it as SJU as closed the airport I can't find any confirmation of this online?
