lcyccruiser Posted August 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2011 For any of you who have sailed on the Sovereign of the Seas, there is a great video that was added to You Tube. It was posted in February of this year of the last voyage that the ship made prior to moving it to Europe. This was the first ship that I sailed and watching the video brought back many good memories of why I have remained a Royal Caribbean cruiser. Check it out.

Cruisin MarcnFran Posted August 13, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2011 This was our first cruise back in '89. The Sovereign really set the bar very high for all the ships that followed. I was in awe when we first boarded and she was so smooth, I never knew we were at sea. I'll check it out on YouTube and enjoy the trip down memory lane. Thank you.

judie43 Posted August 13, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2011 It was our first cruise also....October '89. I will never forget my first reaction as we turned into the terminal. Something like Holy ***t. I couldn't believe it. The first thing I noticed when we stepped onboard was the carpeting with the Crown & Anchor logo. Left quite an impression on me......I still remember it all these years later. That is what started our love for cruising.....first love is never forgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enidcruiser Posted August 13, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We were on the Soverign in April, 1999, for our first ever real cruise. We are now sworn RCCL fans and we thank the SOS for showing us what a special vacation cruising can be. Thanks to our TA for turning us on to cruising.

igot2cruz Posted August 13, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We also sailed Sovereign on our first RCCL cruise in Oct 1989. All these years later, we are still sailing Royal. We were amazed at her sleek lines and size. What a pleasure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreCruiser Posted August 13, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2011 We were on her final sailing. It was a blast. I'll have to check out the You Tube. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin MarcnFran Posted August 13, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Does anyone remember the entertainment they saw back then? We saw The Coasters, The Marvelettes and an old time (fabulous and equally famous) female comedienne whose name escapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzkitty Posted August 13, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2011 This was our second cruise, back in 1990, I believe, and this is where I fell in LOVE with Cruising!:p It was a wonderful cruise, and our Headwaiter was Antonio, and he was amazing! Our asst. waiter was a lady, but I don't remember her name. We had an "Ocean-View" Cabin and it was great. The food was great and I just couldn't wait to cruise again. I miss her already!

F27TW Posted August 13, 2011 #14 Share Posted August 13, 2011 All I have from her on June 11th (from video)Greets Wow, what amazing pics !! Such a pretty ship -- i love the lines of the Sovereign class. They're the oldest, but certainly the prettiest externally of all the RCI owned ships (IMO!)

cactusflower Posted August 13, 2011 #17 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have happy memories of sailing on the Sovereign. Went with a group of friends from church in 2002. Among the group was the great guy who later became my husband. It was his first time cruising and, fortunately, he loved it (despite having to share an inside cabin the size of a closet with 2 other guys, right next to the anchor, which they could hear being raised & lowered). He enjoyed the accommodations much more on our honeymoon cruise (on the Adventure of the Seas).;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been entertained by Jerry Van Dyke,Petula Clark,Kay Starr.....might have been "has beens" but they were names we had heard and totally enjoyed all of them.

I miss that they don't do this anymore. Martha Raye was the female comedy headliner that we saw and she was hysterical! I'd enjoy seeing a blast from the past now and again.

cheche01 Posted August 13, 2011 #20 Share Posted August 13, 2011 It was our first cruise in 1996, when we boared the ship a Steel Band was playing, it was so beautiful. That is when I fell in love with cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired LEO Posted August 14, 2011 #21 Share Posted August 14, 2011 The dates in that video were a little confusing. First it said 10/24/08. Later on it said 10/25/08. Then at the end it said 10/24/08. The actual final voyage date was 10/27/08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLEIKU68 Posted August 14, 2011 #22 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We were on the Inaugural of the SOS with former Pres Carter and the entire Carter clan. Jimmy was actually very pleasant however Ros was completely the opposite. Fun cruise:eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
