Royal Caribbean International: Monarch of the Seas

Sovereign Class review covers: Majesty of the Seas, Monarch of the Seas

What Works & What Doesn't

The hottest clubs at sea are Latin-flavored, and Sovereign-class ships got them during rejuvenations that also saw the addition of the Johnny Rockets diner. Unfortunately, some remnants of late-1980s design are difficult to overcome, including few balconies and low ceilings in the dining rooms. The rock-climbing walls are certainly impressive enough, but they really look like an afterthought, and their awkward position spoils the view overlooking the stern from the Viking Crown Lounge.
