I still have two of them, it was fun to see where everyone was from. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovereign, Majesty, Monarch, Legend. The newer names get worse at each new ship. HA has been reusing old ship names. Carnival started doing it also, I agree with you .. I think Quantum and Icon are 2 of the most ridiculous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted January 18, 2023 #29 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Sovereign of the Seas was our first cruise. I would love to see it used again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome aboard Champagne severed by a Staff member dressed in their Whites while wearing gloves..nice start to a special week Sovereign was my very first cruise and I remember fondly the welcome aboard champagne. Was also my first time staying in a Royal Suite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was our first cruise too. Just a 3-nighter to see if we liked cruising. We were hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SonuvaBeach Posted January 19, 2023 #33 Share Posted January 19, 2023 We were on the Sovereign for its first passenger voyage in the USA. After having been on the Songs and the Nordic Prince, we were amazed by the Sovereign. I still think those older ships were so much classier, with much better food, and much better service. I do not like the " amusement parks at sea" ships or the "city at sea" ships at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie416 Posted January 19, 2023 #34 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Our first cruise in the 80's was on Sovereign, she was brand new and the largest ship on the ocean! Great time but decided cruising wasn't for us. We were scuba divers at the time so between that gear and formal clothes ( a must back then) it was not for us. Fast forward about 20 yrs, went to Alaska on a cruise, loved it. Since then it's only cruising for us! Never a problem with any ship, all different which we we like. Finally doing an Oasis class in May, so can't wait. We have been leaving from NJ for many yrs now, living in Ct, very convenient and no flying!

I am all for reusing ship names as other cruise lines do . I would take it up through the Vision and Radiance classes, they are more "traditional" cruise ships than they are gimmicky abominations like most everything since.

Merion_Mom Posted January 19, 2023 #36 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I love the "gimmicks" and "amusement park" additions. They keep most people away from where *I* want to be. 😄 😄 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
