sengil Posted February 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I just read that the Monarch is leaving Los Angeles in October. Is there going to be a replacement ship for the 3 and 4 day cruises out of L.A.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixCruiser Posted February 15, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Nope, nothing has been scheduled to replaced the Monarch so far. ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted February 15, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2008 One can only hope we'll have another 3/4 day cruise out of LA....its a HUGE market! On the brighter side LA is getting the Mariner in 2009 for 7 day M R cruises replacing the Vision.....I think the Vision would make a great 3/4 day replacement! *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cot427 Posted February 15, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2008 nope, as far as I know, that have nothing scheduled. The rest of 09 and into 2010 hopefully will be released sometime in april or may. As far as I know, RCI has 3 replacements to make 1. As you said, Monarch 3,4 Mexico from LA 2. Mariner, 7 E/W Caribbean from Pt. Canaveral 3. Empress, the 7 night Bermuda (also the cruises in the winter) I wouldn't be suprised if they did not fill the Empress's shoes, and possibly even the monarch's shoes. But I am certain they they will not leave Port Canaveral hanging. Liberty or Freedom will probably be making its way to Pt. Canaveral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubrrick Posted February 15, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It's so interesting to know that the Monarch is stepping in for the Sovereign of the Seas in Florida. She will continue to do the 3/4 day cruise there. Obviously, the powers of RCCL think that the other coast is not worthy of a 3/4 day cruise. Watch Carnival put a better ship in place to take up the slack that the Monarch leaves. RCCL has two cash cows in place. One is the Monarch and the other is the Sovereign. For the life of me...........I do not know why they are going to throw that money away, unless I don't understand the European market enough to know why they are sending the Sovereign to Pulmantar. Maybe someone here can straighten me out!! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted February 15, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Rick--Perhaps RCI is afraid the 48 hour foreign port stop rule will be implemented. I think they probably made the decision to move the Monarch prior to that news...but it may have been the nail in the coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
