Jason12, I an embarking this cruise on the 24th and would like a couple of boring questions answered if you could be so kind - what day does the special offer on the laundry bag appear. Saves me washing our smalls or not so smalls in the case of hubby. Also, can I buy tonic water in a can or bottle - or alternatively could you find out if the tonic on tap at the bar in genuine, i.e. with quinine. I like to drink a small glass everyday to help the leg cramps. Hope you are enjoying your cruse - your cabin looks enormous.

This is great. Going on first cruise in August on the Independence so keen to read your blog. Apart from all the listed activities, ie climbing wall, golf etc., I would be particularly interested to know what planned activities they hold apart from quizes.

Thanks for the live reporting.............nice to have a different ship and itinerary to follow...:)

[glorocks]

SO excited to see a "live-from" for the IOS!! Sailing on her in about a month and will be following your blog. Noticed you said your bag with water/juice arrived-how much water did you take on board? Had read on another thread that people were not as succesful as you with getting their beverages delivered. Have fun and I hope you have great weather!

[Jason12]

Just done a update on blog I will answer the questions later, but all onboard is fantastic forget all the bad reviews this cruise is something else IMO everyone is so nice and helpful.

 

Later jason

In Vigo the shopping centre that you can see in the background on their photos has one wifi spot in the middle, plus a cafe that gives you the code for theirs when buying drinks. The centre is called A Laxa I think.

Jason - enjoying your blog!

[Jason12]

Just updated using onboard wifi it's not that slow but pricey

Jason, thank you SO much for doing your fab blog!!! OH and I are oth engrossed in it and keep checking for updates:o:D

 

Can I ask what the temperatures are like? Is it more jeans and a light jumper weather than shorts and Teeshirts or linen trousers and tee shirts?? I'm a cold creature and need to start the packing planning - we sail in less than 3 weeks:D

Hi there this is great I'm following your blog with a keen interest we sail on Indy 13th Feb. How was your crossing of the infamous Bay of Biscay? BTW Keep it coming.

[Gingerbint]

Jason - loving the blog - sooooooo jealous. Wish I was on the Indy with you!

Getting married this year so all money going on that but trying to find a few pennies to get back on board the Indy sometime soon!

Have a great time and enjoy - she's a fab ship!

[peteukmcr]

Enjoying the updates, thanks for taking the trouble to keep us updated. I agree with Johnny Rockets but only managed to get to that apple pie once on our last cruise!

[dizzyliz54]

Thanks for the reply and hope you have a good return crossing too. Btw Johnny Rockets looks brilliant.
