Review of holiday from 22/09/2012 -- 06/10/2012 on Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas to the Western Mediterranean.

I arrived at the Ocean Terminal at about 1.30pm. via a coach. I had booked a JS grade (Suite) for my sole use.

The terminal was nearly empty and I was given priority to the check-in desk as a suite customer. Check-in took less than three minutes and I was very quickly aboard. The cruise company's definition of a suite is totally different from the dictionary definition. However, the cabin was well equipped with a full bathroom including a bath and powerful shower, a walk in wardrobe with about twenty hangers and plenty of storage space for one. The electrical supply was three American sockets with either 120 or 240 volts output and were sited on the dressing table. A hand held hair dryer was also available. Balcony and interior cabins to not have sachets of coffee available so I was pleasantly surprised to find a coffee percolator and plenty of very good quality ground coffee sachets plus the usual milk and sugar. The fridge was stocked with soft drinks and snacks. These I later found out were chargeable although there was no notice to that effect. Pictures of the cabin can be found on Flickr.com/photos/howard/223. The balcony was very large with two full recliners and a couple of non adjustable chairs plus a table.
