In other words they were three for five on the night with a batting average of in the low 200's for this cruise.

Now, I will get more exact.

We had a snafu at our hotel because we came in a day early and we didn't get there at 10:45 like I wanted to, so we got there after eleven. Still, we only waited fifteen minutes and then another ten to get on board so it was pretty good for Ft Lauderdale and believe me we've had much worse trust me! Still, I would have liked to have seen people walking around with flashy light up glasses of specialty drinks waiting for me when we walked on. I didn't care if I had to pay for them I wanted them! Let's just make it clear that my husband and I were on you're sister ship Freedom of The Seas and that was a 5 out of 5 stars ship so you had a lot to live up to!! STRIKE ONE we had people offering us drinks and welcoming us on board Freedom of Seas NO ONE was there to welcome us on board or offer us ANYTHING on Independence and we paid more for a shorter trip??
