Hello, thanks for reading! A return to Indy for us (we visited in 2012)... and it was so lovely to return to the first ship I cruised on - "where it all started"!

This WAS the first time I've returned to a ship and it was the first 5 night cruise we've been on.

Have you been on Independence yet? You may understand what I mean when I say that she isn't too big, and isn't too small either. The size is just right to give that WOW factor without being too much. ( 8 night Caribbean Oasis of the Seas Dec 16)

Cabin Review

Promenade Stateroom

Cabin PR

Beautifully kept, spacious, with two sofas and perfectly adequate bathroom facilities. This is an interconnecting room with 8257.

Port Reviews

Cherbourg

Simply step off the ship, walk 100 yards out of the cruise terminal only stopping to pick up a yellow €1.50 discount leaflet then pop into the door opposite, Le Cite De La Mer which comprises a Titanic exhibition (which always goes down well - sorry)) a three storey aquarium and La Redoubtable, a nuclear submarine which you can walk around accompanied by an audio guide which is a blessing - even tells you when to duck!
