newbie cruiser77 Posted April 11, 2008 #428 Share Posted April 11, 2008 It is only a 15 min walk to the cable car station from the ship :) once at the top of the cable car station the whicker sledges are right there :) and a lot less than the ships tour. I've just noticed on a map of madeira that the tabbogan ride finishes half way back down to funchal,is there any public transport available to get you back to the ship and if so any idea on cost??thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbarah33 Posted April 11, 2008 #431 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I've been slacking and haven't had a chance to check this thread for a while. Thank you for the pictures taken of the Indy. I gotta ask though; what's with the two blue sheep? I am so happy to see pictures of the interior!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbie617 Posted April 11, 2008 #433 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Please forgive me if this has been asked and answered already, but is Independence of the Seas doing any US pre-inaugural sailings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizanessie Posted April 11, 2008 Author #434 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Please forgive me if this has been asked and answered already, but is Independence of the Seas doing any US pre-inaugural sailings? No she wont be doing US Pre-Inaugurals as she will be 7 months old by the time she gets to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Posted April 12, 2008 #435 Share Posted April 12, 2008 We just booked Independence for summer 2009 and have enjoyed reading this thread. Was wondering ... is the solarium still for 16 yrs. and older and free of charge? Can't remember which ship or which cruise line but some are now charging. I think it's the Emerald Princess (but not 100% sure) that's charging $10 per half a day to use the chairs in their solarium. We always enjoyed the quieter atmosphere of the solarium so hope it's still free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackpool belle Posted April 12, 2008 #445 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Morning Liz, We are on the 21st May sailing as you know:) Looking at the deck plans cabin 8410 is available and we are thinking of upgrading. Do you think that cabin will be obstructed in any way shape or form? Ta! Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackpool belle Posted April 12, 2008 #448 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Bild Em Bigger, Thats a great help, thanks! We have gone ahead and switched. I have always wanted to try an aft cabin as so many people rave on these threads about them. Now I will be able to judge for myself whether its aft 4 ever or change back to mid ship next year.

bajanterry Posted April 12, 2008 #450 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I have never tried aft cabin, will be interesting to hear what you think :D Bild Em Bigger, we are in an aft cabin on the Sept. 6th sailing (1404) and chose it after having aft cabins on our previous two cruises. We (I) won't go any other way now, I enjoy the w-i-d-e view from the balconey especially for photographic purposes. The view of the Norweigian Fjords from our aft cabin was simply fantastic. The only down-side is the long walk to the elevators, but it's definitely worth it, at least IMHO. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
