My wife and I have enjoyed always cruising as our preferred holiday as an escape from our Canadian winters. We have been on 5 previous cruises but our recent sailing on the Independence of the Seas was our sixth and first with Royal Caribbean. I am an avid reader of Cruise Critic and have come to rely on the opinions of others here to assist in choosing our next cruise.
Having just returned from the IOTS I thought that I would stop by to what others were saying about the cruise. I didn't intend to write a full review but after reading the comments left by "grouten" I knew I had to provide an entirely different and relative perspective.
