Review summary

WILL not go on Independence of the seas again. Much too crowded. Too many badly behaved children. It was my mistake to travel at this tine if year. Im glad that there were plenty if places for me and my daughter to escape too. Many tines my mobility scooter was tampered with. We saw groups of kids nessing about with it. Ovation was perfect for me.

Embarkation

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

FAR TOO SMALL FOR 3 ADULTS 2 OF US ARE DISABLED AND A CAMP BED WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE WE PAID OVER £2,000.00 EACH TO SLEEP IN AN OVERCROWDED ROOM. IT WAS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAD TO CALL HOUSEKEEPING TO CHANGE CAMP BED AS IT WAS SO TERRIBLY UNCOMFIRTABLE

Ship tip

DO NOT GO 29TH JULY. FAR TOO MANY BADLY BEHAVED CHILDREN AND A LOT OF DRUNKS. WILL TRAVEL OUT OF SEASON NEXT TIME. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT OUR HOLIDAY OF A LIFETIME WAS SPENT IN AN OVERCROWDED ROOM. CABINS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR 3 ADULTS MUCH TOO SMALL
