Back from Sovereign!!!

[alprice]

We are back from the Sovereign cruise and it was GREAT!! Loved everything, lots of security and lots of spring breakers - but no problems....Had great service and great food, LOVED COCO CAY!!!! That was the best! We were on the tween deck - deck 6 - very convenient to everything. Only complaints were disembarking - it was total chaos - worst I have ever seen on a ship....I think the main problem is that guest realations is right there where you get off and it creates such a traffic jam, the only other complaint I had was the sewer smell that others have mentioned - I did notice it a lot - in different areas of the ship. But it was a great cruise, not long enough. Also saw something strange to me - while in Nassau we were next to the Carnival Celebration and on the ship was a big banner that said "security warning stay 50 feet back" Does anyone know what that means??? Let me know if you have any questions, it was a great cruise.

We were on the same cruise and also on Deck 6. What a coincidence. I will be posting a review probably tommorrow. I saw the same thing on Carnival and wondered??? I agree about the Spring breakers but they were great.

Who was the captain, has Brearley gone on vacation yet? Did you eat in the main dining room or Windjammer. What did you do in Nassau. Was there Quest? Any answers will only increase my anticipation and therefore decrease my sleep!!

I was on her in 1990, could you please tell me about the decor and what if any restaurants they added?

jtd, I truly mean this in the nicest way: do a search on Sovereign by using the search function in the blue bar at the top of the page.

 

For the decor and appearance, watch the Travel Channel's "Dry Dock: A Cruise Ship ReBorn".

 

They added a Sorrento's (pizza joint) and a Johnny Rocket's, both above the Windjammer. JR costs $3.95 per person for all you can eat. (drinks extra). They completely re-did the WJ, too.

much thanks mom! I did actually catch that 3 or 4 part special, very cool. I just wanted to hear some people opinion on if they liked or disliked. Thanks again for the help and link.

You must not have been near where they jogged on the twine deck...but she is a grand ship.

Forgot to mention that the big clock worked the entire time too.....Never heard and joggers on the tween deck. In Nassau we shopped and did the Yellowbird tour which was great. Nice island they take you too...I think it was called blackbeard cay - it was a very nice beach. There was quest and we did not do that - though I have before and I lobe it. We ate in the dining room at night and windjammer for breakfast and lunch.....all food was great - never had anything bad. I woke up this morning and no one was here to make my yummy omlet for me....I was to go back now!!!
