Independence of the Seas Review

Additional details
I choose this cruise to try a different cruise company, we normally use P&O. The appearance of the ship was very nice inside and out, but we found it lacked activities. The weather wasn't the best which closed alot of the upper deck activities, a pool and a couple of the hot tubes were closed for maintenance, we went below then found a bar closed for a private function. This made all other areas much fuller than they might have been.
The standard of food at breakfast was poor, we struggled to find water that was hot enough to make a coffee.
The evening meal and service was excellent, the waiter got to know us very quickly and made every evenings dinning experience a pleasure, probably the highlight of the cruise.
Cabin Review
Panoramic Ocean View
The cabin was poor. Not panoramic, alot of wind noisy, you could hear the crazy golf above. This cabin was only fitted 5 month before we used it, seemed very dated and not put together well.
Our room attendant was very good and very helpful, as we found general information lacking.
Port Reviews
Brugge (Bruges)
Bruges was a very nice place to visit. Alot of walking but well worth it.
