| Well, unless we want to cut them in pieces to transport them before reassembling the funnel of the Sovereign, it will just become a memory. |

| I talked to the scrapyard's officials, they wanted to sell the funnels but the problem is the transportation. There is no truck or the wide road to carry them. So it is impossible to convert the funnels into a functional lounge or restaurant. |

| Monarch, Sovereign, Horizon, Fantasy, Inspiration, Bouddica, Black Watch are already sold to the breakers. I visited Monarch today. I spent 7 hours. |

| I bought the tip of the bow. No worries, I bought so many items. |

| Every decade or so, we get a big of new youthful ship enthusiasts who start saying "we should save this ship" with every cruise ship that is getting scrapped. Totally unrealistic. We should be happy that the SS Rotterdam was saved, but the cost of that operation (EUR 240 million) and the scandal around it should tell us all enough. |

I really appreciate and admire your enthusiasm but WHY would they save the bow tips and funnels of both vessel's? One of each but not from both. One of the bow tips I could see being saved but DEFINITELY not the funnel although it would be ideal as a land based observation lounge or bar. Incidentally, the aft nightclub that was taken off the GRAND PRINCESS several years ago during a major refit in Freeport is now a bar in the Bahamas. But then it was only transported two miles to it's new location. Who is going to pay for the cost of the transportation of either the MONARCH or SOVEREIGN funnels unless you're thinking of making a personal contribution! The CARNIVAL FANTASY is enroute to Aliaga, personally I couldn't care as that class means nothing to me as I have never been a fan of them. Sean |

A year ago... No, wait. Six months ago, if somebody imagined a scene like this, it would be a ticket to a therapist. Now it feels like it's a bad omen for other, worse things to come...
The end of an era. |

| We took our first cruise aboard the Sovereign of the Seas. Doubly sad for us. |

A very sad view. I agree with rd77. According to Equasis, Monarch statutory certificates due date are for October 2021, which implies in normal situation they surely could have remained active at least up to that date.
And another sad thing, is once these vessels are broken up, Pullmantour fleet will come to an end. Kind regards. |

| Oh no, they're really going to scrap these once largest sister ships. I hope we can preserve the tips of their bow's and their whole funnels to take back to France to restore and display them like France. |

| So long, old friends. Fond memories aboard both of these. |

| indeed Ted. Still they are 29 and 33 years old respectively, not a bad run at all compared to most other merchant ships. |

| So sad that they are both going so early. In a normal situation, they would have had another five years or so, I would say. |
