One of the families I sailed with in May stayed there and really enjoyed it.:) Yes it is, and thanks for the feedback. I originally learned about it from the CC boards. There is so much useful information here. Take care, and maybe we'll sail together again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherlady48 Posted September 4, 2012 #1804 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Monarch of the Seas SO cabin for 10/1/12 4-night sailing out of Pt. Canaveral. Single rate incldng taxes is $279. This is a special running until 9/4/12 (Tuesday). Airfares to MCO are pretty good out of NYC too. I have a hold on a cabin. Not too crazy about the ship but the price is great. The SO are the only cabins I would consider. Anything less are very tight and the decks are super-crowded. Once in a while you'll find the SO for the same or even less price as the regular OV and/or IS cabins. This is one of those times. I have sailed on Monarch for the last time. It was the worse cruise I've ever taken. The beds are hard as rock, the entry ways to the buffett smell like cat pi s s.. aka mold, and she is past past her prime. I have read that the Monarch is the next ship headed to Pulmantur cruise lines, and may be based out of Aruba. But I am happy for you to get the price, wish it was on the Majesty.

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted September 5, 2012 #1807 Share Posted September 5, 2012 There are other soon sailings on Monarch of the Seas with a really good solo rate.... If I were local I would grab it!

I seldom take advice from just one review.... I saw that. The one leaving this coming Monday is $40. less than I paid. I got confused and thought it was my sailing and was ready to apply for the obc for the difference but caught it before my foot went into my mouth. Anyway, I'm getting a $50. obc from shareholder benefits so that's bringing down the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 4 days it will be fine. Last time I sailed it I snagged a SO cabin for a great price and they really make a difference. For once, I hope to spend a day at Coco Cay. First time there was a storm and we never anchored. Second time we anchored, I tendered to the island, spent about 30 minutes and then spotted a storm heading our way. I ran to the tenders and got back to the ship just before the storm hit. So, maybe this time I'll get a full day there. But each time I've been on Monarch I've met people who became friends and we kept in touch after the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great. What kind of accommodations? The coupons were already expired for October when I booked but I got my shareholder on board credit. They aren't combinable so it's just as well.

Barnaclebaby Posted September 7, 2012 #1818 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Wow! These are really great rates for solo cruisers. I 'd like to go, but when I add up the cost of the cruise, air , transfers, gratuities, excursions, gambling, etc., a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas can end up costing alot and I'd rather put that towards a longer cruise in the future. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherlady48 Posted September 7, 2012 #1820 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Curious? Was the last and only time you were on Monarch back in 2009? I have been on the Monarch 3 times, but yes the last time was in 2009. I do so hope you find her in better shape than I did. and I am happy you were able to snag such a great price. I too never just look at one reviewer for a ship as we all see smell and feel different things on different ships. There is never a need to get snippy.. oh wait, its you.. never mind.

K I asked the question because I only saw, according to your past cruises, one experience on Monarch, not 3, but that's irrelevant. I wasn't snippy at all and have no idea who you are and take offense at your comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
