Independence of the Seas 2/13 5 day cruise review

[Skipper Justin]

Hey all, I will be embarking on the 5 day valentines/president cruise on Saturday for my first RC cruise. I will be reviewing it as well! I've done Disney, carnival, Norwegian and princess before this. Please let me know any questions you may want answered. I am staying in a promenade room on deck 7 and plan to post photos of that because I know I found it difficult to find any myself. Cheers to all!

Have a great cruise! We will be that ship the end of March :)

[SharkCruiser24]

I'll be on Indy in three weeks and will also be staying in a PR room on deck 7! I look forward to reading about your voyage!

I'll be honest that the only cruise shows I've been impressed with have been with Disney. I am looking forward to the ice shows though!

Currently waiting for Silver airways. Been delayed 3 hours already. Not a great start so far.

Hope you got here ok Skipper Justin. We landed at midnight from Toronto. Had to do de-icing before take off. Weather looks great here. Can't wait for the boarding to begin!

On our way to the port now from Orlando. Flight was delayed four hours yesterday. Got in at 1am and went to bed at 3. The energy of a cruise is the only thing keeping us awake! We ended up staying at the doubletree in Orlando and they upgraded us to a suite for the 4 hours we slept. So that was nice!

I'll be curious about how embarkation/debarkation goes. What pier is she departing?

Are you driving to Ft. Lauderdale from Orlando?

Correct. We rented a car last night.

Long but pleasant drive.

 

No reasonable flights to FLL or MIA?

For whatever reason the rates were crazy for using miles yesterday. It was free to fly to Orlando yesterday but would have been double for fll or Miami. We are flying home from Miami though, so no long drive there :)

What hotel did you all stay at?

 

Best western port on state road. Very satisfied here. Just got back from Winn Dixie getting our wine!

[jayblue]

I am eyeing Indy for my next cruise, which will be my older brother's first. Looking forward to your review.

[LuCruise]

Enjoy your cruise! Would love to hear how you like the Promenade room. We're booked in one on Allure. Have fun.
