Independence of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We booked this cruise to enjoy some decent weather, for most of the cruise, as we had awful weather at home. Unfortunately we didn't realise that schools in some parts of the country, were on holiday....bad idea when sailing from Southampton !
Our Junior suite was very comfortable, plenty of storage space in the walk in wardrobe, & the shower, over the bath, was powerful & hot. Valerio, our stateroom attendant was attentive, & cleaned our room early, as he knew we were early risers.
Jacki, Ralph & Antonio in the Concierge lounge, were delightful people, helpful, efficient & engaging. This lounge was a haven to which we could retreat from the masses, in the late afternoon & early evening. We met some lovely people here & enjoyed their company in the evening.
Cabin Review
Junior Suite
Well maintained by Valerio, excellent storage and uber comfortable bed. We have never had any complaints about any room in which we have travelled over the years. Housekeeping staff do a first class job throughout the fleet....always pleasant and eager to assist.
Port Reviews
Southampton
Stayed night before cruise & walked about the old town. Interesting places to see.
Madeira (Funchal)
Walked about the town, as we have been here before. Good place to explore.
Tenerife
Explored the place on our own. La Laguna is a good place to visit and easy to get to by tram.
Lanzarote
Walked along the beach promenade, easy walk on the level.
Vigo
Very accessible port, as we berthed minutes away from the town.
As in all ports we visit, we do some research & opt to do things we want to do & see.
