WOW ! (Word of Warning) Independence of The Seas


Recommended Posts

I was at the grocery store I haven't visited in about a year.

 

Complete deterioration in most aspects of this grocery store.

 

No pies left in the bakery department when I went there at 3-AM

 

No lobster tails in the seafood department

 

No BBQ ribs or sauce in the upper aisle

 

Shoddy service from the head manager

 

Dinner from the prepared foods cold that night

 

I hardly put on any weight on this trip despite having 3-Gatorades to drink

 

Word of Warning... Don't shop at this super market.

 

I would gather you're in the minority of making such a strong statement trying to make everyone think the worlds coming to an end for the comments you made that are basically trivial

Hard to know where to start.

Complete deterioration in most aspects of this cruise compared to last year.

No pies at 3am one night in Sorrentos

No lobster

No on deck BBQs

Shoddy service from head waiter

Dinner cold one night

I hardly put on any weight despite having the drinks package and consuming on average 12-15 alcoholic drinks a day.

 

If it was sailing when and where I wanted at the right price I wouldn't hesitate to sail it.:rolleyes:

Generally speaking I don't want to eat at 3am, certainly not pie:rolleyes: and I guess it's just as well I am allergic to lobster as I clearly don't know what I'm missing out on;)

 

If you can't find edible food in solid format, be grateful you had a liquid diet option:D

Have to agree here. On another thread there was a lot of complaining about the Windjammer, Park Cafe and such's closing times and no 24hr service and all I can think is I'm barely getting hungry by the next morning!

If that's all you've got to gripe about then I wouldn't worry. A children's programme I used to watch came to mind when I read your post called Jackanory ! Lol

 

Pies at 3am - lol

 

Weak drinks - maybe your liver is that used to it, it just processes it so well :-)

 

Can't remember the last time I had an in deck BBQ on a RCCL ship ?!?!

 

Since when has lobster supposed to have been served on European cruises.

 

Dinner cold one night - ha ha ha ha ha !! I nearly fell off my chair. All you need to do is tell them and they'll swap it out for you. I'm glad that all your many other nights were fine ?!?!?!?!?!

Why not just stay at home and you might (only might) be happy ?!?!?!?!?!

 

All those things wrong with Independence - I think you need to e mail the CEO and tell him to take it out of service immediately.

 

Please do let us know his response - lol

You've had similar issues then but trivialising mine ?

This was an expensive vacation, I'm imsomniac with a fast metabolism and heavy boned - I need to eat regularly and two or three pies and a slice of pizza is about the least Id expect

Heavy boned . . . . Quick metabolism . . .

 

I'm 285Ibs and I say that all the time - actually I'm just fat and unfit :-)

The ship welcomes feedback from guests so just expressing mine

Well I have a knee problem meaning exercise is out of the question.

It's healthy to have a large fried breakfast in the morning so I don't see a problem there.

Maybe I have an extra desert of two when I'm on holiday but who doesn't?

290 is pretty regular for a big build of 5:10

I've never had a so-called bad experience that you have seemed to make a dramatic movie out of. The complaints you make in the whole scheme of things and in life are too trivial.

I suppose you're right, at least the cookies and cakes were 24hr so would get you by till breakfast

Don't get defensive big guy. I was talking about me.

 

Sorry I'm 5Ibs less than you - lol :-)

 

P.S. There are LOADS of upper body exercise regimes available that don't use your knees :-)

Well I've dropped 45lb in two months before the cruise - the gym was awkward to find on floor 11 as the lifts were always crowded out.

OK I'm on the heavy side bug how would people feel if say the shows were there one head gone the next?

I know - tell me about it. Those elevators nobody can ever get in any of them they are so crowded. It's a wonder you got to the Windjammer or Main Dining Room for your numerous meals every day.

 

I do feel so very sorry for you big fella :-(
