The Sovereign just FELT like a real SHIP, and I loved that about her.

That said, the Radisnce and Vision class ships are pretty nice, too.

Which two, Sheila? Monarch and.....

Majesty OTS

Yep
Monarch,out of Port Canaveral, and Majesty, out of Miami

Both sail three and four day itineraries including Nassau and CocoCay
In addition the Majesty calls at Key West on her 4 day itinieraries

I sailed Majesty in 2002 and that was the infamous, "left 'em stranded on CocoCay cruise." We had about 1400 passengers on the island and were unable to get them back on the ship. The weather took a serious turn for the worse.
That was a great cruise nonetheless as We got a full refund for that cruise and a future cruise certificate good for another free cruise.

What happened to the poor people who were stranded? Not a lot of permanent structures on the island, I don't think.

The ship was able to send supplies to the island using the tender boats from the island. They tossed blankets and other supplies into the boats, some made it into the water.
Everyone slept on the lounge chairs on the beach and some stayed up and made the most of it, I understand there were some rowdy parties. I was on the ship so didn't witness any of that.

There was also half of a wedding party on the ship. The other half was waiting at Key West. We never made it to Key West.

I chose freedom class because they have cantilevere whirlpools, the royal promenade and they look very luxury and beautiful.
