karkee07 Posted September 18, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I noticed that SOS isn't on the route I am going on next year. Its been there for ages and she was my first cruise pre renovation at 13, and third post renovation at 16. Are they taking her out? Why would they have done that huge renovation a few years back if they are discontuining the ship...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellalago Breeze Posted September 18, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Sovereign has been sold to Pullmantur Cruises, which is another division of Royal Caribbean, and will be going to Europe for the Spanish market. It will be leaving Port Canaveral the end of next month. It is being replaced by the Monarch which will be coming from the west coast. Sovereign is one of our favorite ships. We just bid farewell to her this past weekend and will really miss her and her wonderful staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SOS is being transfered to a Spanish cruise line (Pullmantour) and will be sailing this winter, summer in in South America (Brazilian coast) under the name of Soberano. It was noticed that Pullmantour is part of the Royal Caribbean group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanker4 Posted September 18, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2008 We first cruised the Sovereign in 1989 when she was the newest and largest cruise ship in the world. Have been back onboard her quite a few times since and will miss the "Old Gal" when she leaves.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcacace Posted September 18, 2008 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2008 It's almost hard to believe it was the largest ship around when it first sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchess43 Posted September 18, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Our first sailing on RCI was the SOS in June of 92, just think she is a major part of helping to bulid RCCL. I am glad that they are still keeping her in the family even tho it is Pullmantur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
