 Cruise Reviews

Independence has got it all
Reviewed By: Crump, Gloucester on 30th Aug 2008
Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean Cruises Times cruised before: 10+
Cruise Ship: Independence of the Seas Sailed: August, 2008
Destination: Mini Cruises Age: 65+
My family (seven in all) have just returned from a 4 night cruise to Cork on Independence of the Seas. The ship is great, and we all had a good time and wished we could stay longer. Weather not too good but the food made up for this and the service in the restaurant was better than last year on Navigator. Our cabin steward was very helpful and arranged for the double bed in one of our cabins to be made up as twins. The pools are lovely and the water so warm. Check-in was a dream - we were on board before 11.15am although cabins not ready until 1.00pm. Wish other cruise lines could do the same to avoid the long wait and queues in the terminal. This cruise made up for our recent trip on Norwegian Jade which we did not enjoy at all - freestyle dining not for us.

Totally agree, we went on Independance in May for 10 days, totally awesome! Just come back from a mini cruise on Queen Mary 2, we like the Independance better on all counts!! QM2 was like a floating museum to Cunard, lovely ship but doesn't compare to Independance!!
