Additional details
We have cruise in asia lots but this time since it was a graduation trip, we were taking it to the max. We were quite worried about our first time crusie on board the Independence. But we researched and plan for the ship , the ports and all our stuff we needed to do and it worked out really well.. (Independence worked out nicely with its price(inculdes a USD 200 free credit, ports and the third largest after the Oasis class quantum class) This made it the deal with the hump cabin as a bonus.
We didn't take the ship's excursion which was risky and bold, but managed to pull through. We stayed at the Holiday Inn (Sheridan)..Not a bad place just far from fort lauderdale attractions but since it has a train station beside it (sheridan) that takes us to miami in 20 mins...it was not bad after all..inf-fact really good.

Cabin Review
Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
To have an E2 cabin on a hump and yet have a cabin on a strategically position area on a ship is just something you cannot ask for more. The hump extends out of the ship. and you could see the front and back of the ship..It was great as the other cabins down the hallway didn't have this luxury. Furthermore, despite the cabin being close to the elevators, it was quiet and you could barely hear anyone chatting outside, not even footsteps. There were a lot of closet space for you to put your stuff, and many hangers as well. Kettle and hairdryer provided. Toilet was a decent size and the cabin didn't look old so did the balcony which had space for 2 chairs and a table..(wanted a lounger but was informed it cannot be done)
