More of the Sovereign….

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

The current Sovereign of the Seas review dates to September 1999, but less than half of my pictures, and a fraction of the notes from that cruise ever made it to the web. Seven years, two computers, and much cheaper web hosting later, and I am now starting to polish that early article detailing my first cruise. To duck-tail with it, I am working on an update piece that will detail changes to the Sovereign during her service with RCI. There are few truly historic ships in service that changed the industry, and the Sovereign is one of them.
