Our first cruise and our last, as our experience was awful.
Do not expect 5* service/food/quality, as it is 2* - 3* at best. we did experience many frequent/experienced cruisers, who were appalled as to how the quality had gone much down hill, just since last year, so it is unfortunate that we obviously chose to cruise on the independence, at its worse. One lady said, she it was her 6th time on independence and she would not be going back, this was generally a lot of peoples opinion.
The ship is in much need of refurbishment, it is tatty
Very basic, looked clean but didnt smell clean
A good size
bed was very comfortable
2* - 3*
Loved Gibralter, it was easy to access the cable cars to the top, to see the apes, the caves etc
LOVED barcelona, we saw so much and enjoyed the hop on hop off tour bus
beautiful place and very clean
very wheelchair friendly
easy to walk to from the port, beautiful place, lota to see and again a hop on hop off bus
a beautiful place to visit, straight off the ship
loved malaga, again walking distance from the ship (if you are healthy) great shopping, clean and lots to see
To see seville, you need to book an excursion but Cadiz was beautiful and loved the shops, again a clean place with lots to see
