Independence of the Seas Review

Additional details
I read many reviews leading up to this one, so I'm not going to go over everything. I kind of wanted to touch a couple points without repeating what others have said. We flew into Fort Lauderdale one night pre cruise. Very easy access. Cabs are plentiful in FLL.
We went to port about 10:30 and had no problem boarding really quickly. Onboard by 11:00. Windjammer was ready. Plenty of seating. Had our Honey Stung Chicken. Rooms were ready before 1. Service was wonderful as always.
Now I'll tell you "different" things. The cruise director, Joff Eaton, in my opinion was just OK. He wasn't very visible. His morning TV show was pretty boring. Only watched it a couple times. Other than the BIG shows, I never saw him around the ship.
Cabin Review
Cabin just steps from the front stairs. Wonderful location. We had a couple nights of wind while traveling through the Florida Straights. The balcony door of this cabin was not insulated very well so we could hear the wind howling (of course, sounding much worse than it really was) all night.We had some issues with the toilet button not working but after a few trips to GS they replaced the pump unit and no more problems after that.
