After just returning from a 2 week cruise to the Western Med upon the IOTS (Independance of the seas) I thought that I needed to post a review of our experience for everyone to read.
This trip was our honeymoon and to be honest our expectations of the cruise was very high.
Booking in at Southampton was slow and not as organised as you would hope, but once issued out Sea Pass cards and the staff outside the arrival doors as you enter taking the luggage for you, leaving you only to check in with hand luggage, you could board the ship straight away. We chose to go to the room and drop off our hand luggage first.
