Welcome Home!

Just curious, why no Coco Cay? We are booked on the 4 day Majesty of the Seas next Spring Break specifically for Coco Cay, and I will be very disappointed if we don't go. BTW, I have never been but have heard FAB things.

Please post a review. We are planning a Sovereign cruise in a near future and would appreciate any info about her. Is the Coco Cay a temp. thing? [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Can't wait to read your review. We're sailing the Sovereign for the 2nd time in August and it's just not getting here quickly enough.

Happy Cruising!

We just missed Flaboy! We got off as he got on. We were on 4/9-12. Had a blast. Will post my rather long review separately.

we missed coco cay because of the weather.i live in florida so on sunday night and monday morning we had a cold front come thru with some pretty heavy rain and high wind...as most cold fronts do they go south.i woke up after winning some money in the casino to a really nice lighting show outside our window at about 4 am.at that time we were sitting off of coco cay.the captian decided it was not going to get better so we went to nassau a day early.
one thing i will say the captian did try to go back to coco cay on thursday mprning we sat off the island for a very long time early in the morning before dawn..the weather was still bad so the captian went on to try to find some sun for the passengers.

Glad you gad a good time. Sory about Coco cay!!! We will be on her again in June and Hopingthe food stays good as I'm with you last year in June it was not very good! Did you takw your little one? Did he enjoy adventure Ocean???

[flaboy]

hey ruttie whats up..
yes we took the little one,he did not do the ocean adventure since we are having a hard time potty training him.thck headed little ****!!!maybe next year.food was AWESOME!!! i hope they keep it up also.we will definitly be back with them.

[pegasushello]

shouldnt they give you some kind of substition when something like that happens or an alternative for the missed part of the trip? I would think as a customer service issue if you told them of your dissappointment maybe a coupn towards another trip sometime with a % off of it? Just a thought. Sorry you missed coco cay its my favorite also

[Michuck]

I'm leaving on the Sovereign this coming Friday! Can't wait!! Can you tell me if there are hair driers in the cabins? Friend of mine since we were 12 (43 years ago! YOUCH!) are leaving hubbies at home and are doing the 3-dayer. We only see each other once every few years, so this is going to be really special. We're going to stay up late, drink, smoke and talk - and our Mom's won't be there telling us not to like they did when we were young.

[pegasushello]

the hair dryers are not high powered enough but yes they have them if you want to take and hour to dry your hair.....I suggest you bring your own though [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

We have been on Sovereigns four times and plan again this fall. We have missed Coco Cay on one of our trips. I guess if Royal Caribbean could control the weather we would have expected compensation for missing the port.

We have always enjoyed the food.

Michuck,
Could you check if the 3 day Soveign of Seas offers the Dolphin Encouter, I know the 4 does but not sure if it is offered since you don't arrive in Nasau till 11 am.

Thanks for your help

Michuck - Me and my best girlfriend will be on the 4/23 Sovereign also! Great to leave the hubbies at home and let loose!

For you recent SOS cruisers, my favorite thing to eat while I'm cruising is smoked salmon on my bagel, love the lox!! Does the Sovereign offer this?

Thanks!
