Independence of the Seas Review

Additional details
This was our first experience of Royal Caribbean after two previous cruises with Princess and my wife and I were very impressed. I would say that both companies are comparable in respect of facilities, comfort, service and can't really separate them.
No problems with car parking, luggage drop-off or embarkation. Very slick and professional.
Ship is massive but even with full occupancy, it doesn't feel crowded. I know that previous reviews have alluded to problems at Windjammer at breakfast time and also the perennial problem of getting sunbeds but I can honestly say that these were not issues for us.
Cabin Review
Cabin was great, we had a Promenade stateroom. The only problem being the fact that you permanently had to keep your curtains drawn, so the benefit was limited.
