It looks like they cut a pair of holes in the front .... right around Deck 7 or 8 I would say.  Interesting ...

That was fast ..... the Bow has been removed from Sovereign.

Is that on the small side?  Can you make it through a full day?

Refillable ----EVERY DAY --- btw --- Try it on Macaroni-N-Cheese ..... now there's taking it to the next level.  Salt-N-Pepper?  Who needs it?  That's so Un-Maryland

Ignore the prices, not sure why they are on there.

I went outside my comfort zone and got the Seafood Soup --- Dear God that was good.  The only thing that would've made it better was a little Old Bay

Here's a completely different way to look at it.... could it be that Empress is going to Malta to pick up stuff left there by Sovereign & Monarch?  Just a thought

Here they are with the Carnival Fantasy that was just beached.

They can scrap all the Carnival ones.  But that is my personal opinion.  

Monarch, Sovereign, Fantasy --- with (I believe), the Carnival Inspiration being next.  I do have to wonder though, what's going on with the third Pullmantur ship, the former Celebrity Horizon?  I thought she was coming here too.

Monarch's location beacon has been turned off, it's as though she no longer exists.

Who knows .... maybe that was what was done in Naples when they were offloading valuables.

Apparently, over at the Majesty of the Seas Group Page on Facebook, there's a video from the bridge of Sovereign as they were running it aground too.

It was so hard to watch the video of it running a ground!    

Yeah, that was Monarch ..... and them applauding as it stopped ---- then you hear the words "Turn the engines off"

Sovereign was beached this morning.  Here they are, side by side one last time.

Here's a photo of Monarch and Sovereign together one last time.

If it makes it easier, join the Majesty of the Seas Facebook Group --- it's posted there.

Here's a video of her from the bridge as she's being Breached.

Crazy thing though, Monarch is still showing up on Marine Traffic.com

Weird feeling seeing this...I remember very well my first cruise on her in 2013...made me fall in love with cruising. I have flashbacks to certain experiences and wow moments and amazing times on that first cruise whenever I see a pic of her.....guess there wont be many left now.........

My first one was on Sovereign in 2007 ---- breaks my heart knowing she's next.   Look how that shipped next to Monarch is being broken apart.... from front to back..... I guess, as they take away a forward section, they pull what's left further on the beach with a tow line.

Check out the photos .... taken from the Instagram page of @captainselim

The Horizon has left Athens .... headed to Turkey too I would assume.

2nd quarter of next year? Ugh, so much for Empress

Grandeur may not have a last cruise out of Baltimore in this case

Sovereign just left Malta --- sad, sad, sad

The Clocktower Mall --- a must visit for your shopping pleasure.

Well now, this is interesting .....Monarch just turned around and is headed away from Turkey..... might be a last minute change of heart (or a higher bidder, who knows)

I was actually tracking them on Marine Traffic.  The Monarch and Sovereign were off the coast of Malta for a few days since leaving Italy, the Monarch ported in St. Georges, Malta late last week and then headed to Turkey where she met up with the Infinity and offloaded crew, she then went dark as she headed for the breakers at Aliaga, Turkey.  The Sovereign looks like she's only a couple days behind, she's now in port at St. Georges, Malta, most likely preparing to head for Turkey.  You can see the top of her in the below webcam

I just hope coneyraven isn't correct about the Majesty and Empress but it does make a lot of sense, if I had to guess I'd say he's right.

 

This is one of those moments when I hope I'm wrong ...... but to expand upon the thought process..... If Pullmantur recovers (and that's a big IF), she'll start out with a new fleet consisting of probably all Vision Class ships (Grandeur, Rhapsody & Vision) with Enchantment staying in Baltimore for the short term...... but who knows, it's anybody's  guess.
