We just came back from one of the last cruises of the Sovereign of the Seas.
We have sailed on her 3 times. She is a fine ship and well maintained. The
ship, out of Port Canaveral, is leaving Royal Caribbean and being sold to
the Pullmantur Fleet (a subsidiary of RCCL). Her last cruise will be in
October 2008. The new name will be Sovereign, because "of the Seas" is
copyrighted by RCCL. She will be the flagship of the Pullmantur fleet.
When she came on line in 1988 she was the largest ship in the world with new
innovations like the open center atrium. She has carried well over 4
million passengers. Her replacement in Port Canaveral will be the Monarch
of the Seas. Also later on, the Freedom of the Seas will be moved up to
Port Canaveral from Miami in order to replace the Mariner of the Seas which
is being moved to Los Angeles.
