Monarch of the Seas - Still going strong

[ShipsInBergen]

Yesterday the old Monarch of the Seas (now just 'Monarch' for Pullmantur) called into Bergen, Norway. I went to watch her sailaway and took the following photos. A full set is now up on my hobby bog of ships in the city:

I always love to see these older ships when they are kept in service and still enjoyed, rather than being thrown straight on the scrap heap :).

 

From spending time on these forums it seems like the Sovereign Class have a really loyal following. Just wish the Caribbean wasn't so far away, then I could try out Majesty OTS before she retires too :(.

I've done Monarch a few times; great memories. Not a huge fan of the mega ships myself; Freedom being my favorite. Thanks for the memories!!!

Fancy finding this thread, Here's my view of Monarch starting her journey towards Bergen, taken from the promenade deck of the Crystal Symphony.

We took our honeymoon cruise on Monarch back in 1994. Thanks for sharing!

I hope you'll have your camera out when the ship I was on visits July 19.

I may well be taking photos to put up on my blog :). There are 6 cruise ships in Bergen that day, so it's going to be a busy one!
