Monarch coming out of drydock!!

I believe that the Monarch will be back in LA sometime tonight to start taking on passengers again this afternoon. I'm anxious to hear about the referbishments, and get the reaction of past passengers that cruise regularly on the Monarch. Hopefully we will hear some good things come Monday!!

Question: Do you think the Monarch now has a Johnny Rockets???

Robin:)

We will be on the Monarch again on Feb. 20 so we are also anxious to hear about any of the refurbishments and/or changes. We would also like to know if they have done any "updating" to the Royal Suite.

Thanks.

Wonderful!! DH and I have a JS on the Monarch Feb. 6th. Cannot wait to see her.

There is a Portofino??? Awesome!!!

Woo Hoo!!! We're on her Feb 27, now can't wait to try both places! Have heard Portofino's is awesome:p !!!

Can't wait to see the reviews from the first group!

I will step aboard her tomorrow jan 30 for 4 nights. Will let you now all about her:D

I would love to see another Drydock special from the Travel Channel about this!

I'm going on Monarch in Sept. my second time on Monarch and my DH first. What is Portifinos and Johnny Rockets and do they charge?

We were on the Monarch in 2003 in the Caribbean and again in 2005 on the west coast. I cant wait to hear the changes they made.

I'm going on Monarch in Sept. my second time on Monarch and my DH first. What is Portifinos and Johnny Rockets and do they charge?

If Monarch charges what most of the other ships do, it will be $20 per person for Portofino's and $3.95 per person for Johnny Rocket's. Since you are a Crown & Anchor member, you will get a coupon for one free visit to JR's.

Oh, and what are they? JR's is a 50's diner concept restaurant: you know, The Malted Shop from beach movies? Burgers, onion rings, french fries, milkshakes, etc. Portofino's is an upscale northern Italian cuisine restaurant, with top-notch service and ambience.
