Royal Caribbean and the Independence of the Seas delivered again been onboard the last 4 years, need a change prefer to go on Allure rather than the new Anthem.
Embarkation onboard at 10.30 no problems quicker than I expected, got the premium drinks package and the children had the soda package already to go when on board again no problems.
Food was excellent, Windjammer I have breakfast and lunch early so never any problem with large queues or getting a seat. Food was exceptional, fruit salmon and omelette for breakfast with green tea and mint, lunch lots of choice deli salad, oriental, carvery, fish, curry, pies, burgers, hot dogs and pizzas and numerous desserts, I stuck to fish and salad everyday fantastic, us english though, what it is with consuming burger, hot dogs and pizza all day long and then complain about choice of food, if you do not try other dishes how will you know. Dinner in Romeo and Juliet, again choices of starters mains and desserts excellent, all meals served hot, the service was a tad disappointing compared to previous I have received.
I spend no time at all in cabin, room steward was excellent, I need a bed wardobe and shower, got those and so it was adequate for my needs
