My Cruise
Firstly, on entering the ship it was so easy and very straight forward to find your way around. I’d also give extra points as you can take as much luggage as you like. The Independence of the Seas is a fantastic ship. I personally think it is perfect for family holidays as it has everything you could wish for.
• Flowrider is the surf wave where kids can learn to surf • There is a rock climbing wall suitable for different abilities which is great • H20 Zone is a mini water-park which is for all ages
This ship has so much to offer; it has an ice- skating rink, kids clubs for all ages, babysitting service so adults can enjoy quality time together, cinema and mini golf course. To top that there is also a night club, casino, jogging track, fitness centre, spa and even a Chapel where you can get married if you wanted to! Although you would need to make all the arrangements beforehand.
The food was fantastic on-board with lots of choice. There was also fine dining in the speciality restaurants. Giovanni’s in particular was excellent and I would also recommend Johnny Rockets which had a really cool vibe.
If you enjoy a drink, I would advise to pay in advance for the drinks package as it definitely saves you money in the long run. They also do a soda package for the kids which again helps you budget in advance.
We stopped off at Bruges in Belgium which is a very quaint and pretty city. I took a trip along the River Canal which I would absolutely recommend. I would love to go again, especially around the festive period as I think it would be truly magical at Christmas time.
There are some fantastic cruise prices available at the moment which give you great value for money plus good service. If you wish to know any more details please feel free to email me on: sarah.king@travelcounsllors.com
