PH8 Posted July 7, 2009 #1526 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hey all, I'm getting ready to be on the Monarch for the Aug 3rd cruise. Not my first cruise (went on a Carnival many years ago when i was little and was on the Soverign a few years ago) but this is the first for my boyfriend. I have found out so much info from you guys! Thanks so much! I'm even more excited now for my trip..these 28 days won't go by fast enough. Is anyone else here going on the same trip? You might try posting on this roll call............not very active right now,but who knows?? Maybe others will start posting too...... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=985823 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaza Posted July 9, 2009 #1527 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Wow, I am gettng so much from this thread. We have plans for a January, 4 day from PC on Monarch for our Anniversary. Then the following year we'll try the Radiance for the next Anniversary. I'm so glad they introduced the MTD option; not for us, but it's good to have that option for those you like it. We love meeting new people to share dinner and experiences with nightly, so I hope they never discontinue the main dining option - we'd survive if they did, though. Lissaw16, CocoCay is such a fine island, I hope you get to got some time. IMO, it's RCCL's best island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritaontherocks Posted July 9, 2009 #1528 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Does anyone know if the Monarch has a Boleros latin lounge? And if so, how is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUTIEBUGME2 Posted July 9, 2009 #1529 Share Posted July 9, 2009 You will not be bored on Monarch, it may be an older ship but it is in good shape!! The CD Jimmy and his staff are really AWESOME!!!! There are many things to do on this ship, just like all the others! The crew are very attentive and very personable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty G Posted July 9, 2009 #1530 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Does anyone know if the Monarch has a Boleros latin lounge? And if so, how is it? Boleros on Monarch is quite large. We were on in June and they did not have a dedicated Latin band. The RCL Orchestra was starting to play Latin music there during our cruise and they were excellent. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUTIEBUGME2 Posted July 9, 2009 #1531 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yes there is a Boleros, it is really decent size lounge, it is on deck 7 midship. They hold several activites there, and there are times that the band is there and lots of people dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auntchele Posted July 13, 2009 #1532 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi everyone, We are so excited- we sail next week. I love being outside but not in direct sun. I have been so busy and I'm bringing some books and magazines to catch up on my reading. Is there a quiet place on the ship preferably outside that's quiet and shaded to read? One post mentioned one of the lounges being quiet but my preference would be outside. Thanks in advance. Chele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted July 13, 2009 #1533 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You could always find yourself a lounge chair on deck 7......that's the outside deck that you can walk all around the outside....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsme Posted July 13, 2009 #1534 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Woo Woo we changed our 4 day Monarch to a B2B cruise on her in August. DD and I are so excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on in June and they did not have a dedicated Latin band. The RCL Orchestra was starting to play Latin music there during our cruise and they were excellent. :D The only problem with the orchestra playing was that their songs went on forever. They were good musically, but not attuned to dancers. I think they should put a Latin band in there for the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand why they dont have one.............Sovereign always had one.............same port,same itinerary:confused::confused: and it was always hopping.........I dont think I have had a Mojito in Boleros yet on the MN........its just not the same:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsme Posted August 3, 2009 #1537 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Thought I would bump this thread up with a question. Has anyone ordered a pot of coffee in the am? I know you are suppose to put your breakfast order out by a certain time the night before. But has anyone waited to order coffee until the morning? I know we did this on the Enchantment several years ago but like I said that has been a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbieinva Posted August 3, 2009 #1538 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Jsme, thanks for bumping this up.. I leave in 2 weeks on the Monarch. First time on Royal Caribbean, this thread should keep me busy reading for the next 2 weeks....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsers83 Posted August 4, 2009 #1542 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm leaving on the Monarch Friday with a few friends to getaway for a couple of days and I'm really excited. A few of us have never been on a cruise before while one or two have been. It should be awesome. We're doing the clear kayak adventure while we're in Nassau. I've seen a few comments about the cruise director, etc. I've heard that they can make the trip worth every penny if they are truly great, especially on these short cruises. Are there any activities/places we must absolutely NOT miss? How is the cruise director on the Monarch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of my favorite things that RCI does for entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaches02 Posted August 4, 2009 #1544 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Taking the Monarch for the first time 9/4-9/7 - our previous cruises have all been on Carnival. We live about 30 minutes from PC - if we get to PC by 11AM, are we then going to be made to sit for 2-3 hours while we watch past RCI cruisers board and wait for newbies like us to be called, or can we get on earlier if we get there early? What's the earliest we can board if we're newbies on RCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsme Posted August 6, 2009 #1547 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have a stupid question. We are on B2B's next week. First the 4 day then the 3 day. I do not care if the answer is yes but, will the shows be the same on both cruises? Well I know there will be one more on the 4 day then the 3 day. lol My DD asked me this today because she wants to make sure we see every show. I thought if they are to be the same it might help us make decisions on what we do not want to miss on the first cruise verse the shorter one. From what I have read they are the same but thought I would ask here to see if this is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted August 6, 2009 #1548 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Same production shows,but the guest star(comedian,usually) may or may not be the same......depends on when they sign on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flcouple Posted August 6, 2009 #1549 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Just curious, but does deck 9 SOV cabins on Monarch have their drill in the lounge or is it outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted August 6, 2009 #1550 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Just curious, but does deck 9 SOV cabins on Monarch have their drill in the lounge or is it outside? It is not determined by deck............its determined by location of the cabins....seems the ones that are close to the stairs and elevator(midship) get to go to Boleros for drill.........
