Renovated Sovereign


Recommended Posts

Im thinking about booking one of the first cruises on the Sovereign after her renovation, but im kinda scared to after everything ive heard about the Empress, do you think RCL learned from there mistakes or do you think there will be floods and other stuff on this one too?

Were told by Sovereign Staff that she will be going into dry dock in November for her face lift.

 

Does anyone know when she will be done and ready for service? How long is the procedure? icon_confused.gif

 

I'd be willing to bet they will have their act together. The Sovereign crew is the best I've seen.

If the thought scares you, give it a month or so after.

When they did the Monarch they also had a lot of problems. I wouldn't book one of the first 2 or 3 sailings unless it was extremely cheap.

It has been reported that the crew will remain on board to help with the redo. I love the ship too and can't wait to see how she turns out but I hope they don't destroy her beauty with too much glitz.....

Oh, I agree - she has a special something that the larger glitzier ships just don't have.
