Q: Cruised with RCl before usually sailing from Barcelona.
Looking to book the Independance of the Seas to the Canaries either in November 09. Can anyone tell me if they have sailed recently from Southampton what the crossing is like from Southampton is it quite choppy or don't you feel anything on the ship.

hiya we returned from the canaries on indy yesterday and had a really bad crossing going out force 10 gales so there were alot of people sick, the staff placed sick bags around the boat, 4 of us out of 6 were very sick however the other 2 were fine and the crossing coming back over the bay and into southampton was fine, so really it is hard to answer this question.

Friends on her last week - Bay of Biscay like a millpond going out and everyone violently ill on the way back. In short - you can't tell.

thats a tadge untrue about the return and everyone violently ill !! only a few were effected, and it wasnt as bad as you seem to make out , the bay is renowned for bad crossings but it dosent last long and like i said only a small percentage were suffering from the sea sickness this ship must be one of the best at dealing with rough seas
