Is the company that sold this ship for scrap the same company that now owns Majesty of the Seas?

Yes, Seajets bought both. Apparently Seajets renamed her:

Looks like monarch is gone and one of the carnival ships  is gone. And another is in the spot of them two.

Wow, Sovereign and two Carnival ships are now completely gone.  Monarch looks to be a third gone.

Yes, that Costa ship was south of Monarch waiting for a spot to open up.

That Costa ship was kinda where this Carnival ship is now.

Would love to see an updated picture.  I bet the Monarch is no longer recognizable.

The pics from Aliaga seem to be getting rarer.

Just be thankful they don't scrap us like that after we retire!

Are you sure they don't?

If they did, the number of posters on CC would be almost zilch. 😁

Those pictures are a little gut wrenching.  I don't consider myself that old, but the fact remains that I have sailed on 5 ships that have now been scrapped (SS Norway, NCL Sea...and 3 in the original 4 above - Fantasy, Sovereign and Monarch).  i suspect a few others aren't far behind either.  Fantasy was my very first cruise in 1991 as an 18 year old.  Sovereign was my first cruise on Royal Caribbean and also first with my late husband and I.  Monarch was the first cruise I took my current husband on and got him addicted just the same. Great memories on all of them!

Sad indeed.  Our first ever cruise was on Fantasy. 😪

Reminds me of the destruction of the SS Norway/SS France.  At least someone was wise enough to remove the tip of the bow and return it to France

Went through the same heartbreak with SS Norway years ago.  Clock is ticking for so many other wonderful ships. Our best cruise to date was on Monarch. 

Our first cruise was on the SS Norway. What a magnificent lady she was. Our second cruise was on the Sovereign of the Seas. So sad

That was the ship for my very first cruise in 1989.  Yes, that was 32 years ago.

Just posted on the FB Shipbreaking page (by Timothy Ky) .. recent pic of Monarch, Costa Victoria and one of the Carnival ships.   Sovereign completely gone.   

 

Breaks my heart to see Monarch this way.  Had a couple wonderful cruises on her.

First cruise for us was on the Fantasy, sad to see her go..
