Help identify RCI Mystery Ship

[Beyondships]

I am in the process of posting on my website photos of the various cruise ships that I have come across over the years. http://www.beyondships.com/largecruisephotogallery.html

 

I have one photo that I cannot identify the ship. It is one of the Sovereign class ships (Sovereign, Majesty or Monarch of the Seas) but the question is which one? It was taken in Barbados in the 1990s.

 

Can anyone tell which one she is and why?

I enlarged your picture as much as my computer would let me. It looks like the ship has balconies on the top passenger deck. If I am correct, then it has to be Monarch or Majesty. Sovereign's balconies were added later.

i think its monarch of the seas

If it was around the 91/92 Monarch had Barbados in the itinerary

My grandma went on the southern intinerary around the early 1990's and the ship she went on the was Monarch of the Seas. That's when she went to Barbados and she loved it. So my guess is the Monarch.

It's Monarch or Majesty. The reason to eliminate the Sovereign is more noticable than the balconies (or lack of). If you look below and behind the viking crown, there is a section of solid white hull.

 

On the Sovereign, it is shaped like this: //

On the Monarch & Majesty, it is shaped like: //

........................................................////

 

It is wider on the bottom half. (I hope this shows correctly!)

The Monarch did the Southern Caribbean in the early 90s out of San Juan. My guess is it is the Monarch.

I have to agree, Monarch of the Seas. We were on her in '94 and '96, and at that time, she did the Eastern Caribbean, while Majesty did the Western Caribbean.

This was our first and second cruise, and she still holds a very warm place in our hearts!

I checked some pictures and you can really see the difference.Thanks

As I recall the Monarch sailed the SC, the Majesty the WC and the Sovereign the EC. Therefore this must be the Monarch.

I made it bigger for the op:) Easier to see and identify
