Independence of the Seas

14 Night Mediterranean Explorer (Southampton Roundtrip)

Sail date: May 01, 2017

Ship: Independence of the Seas

Cabin number: 9314

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 7 years ago

Review summary

A very well run ship, spotlessly clean, good entertainment and adequate food. Shore excursions far too expensive and shuttle buses should be free. It was noticeable that standa standards have fallen like shorts and T-shirts were allowed in the main dining areas.
