Cruise Next Year

[Zehro]

For my parent's Silver wedding anniversary, we are going on a cruise. It sounds quite good, it'd 2 weeks and it's round the mediterranean on a ship called the Independence of the Seas (http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/ship/home.do?br=R&shipClassCode=FR&shipCode=ID) which came into service in April. It has good facilities but after 2 weeks it might drag on, I don't know so as anyone been on a cruise? If so, can you give a thumbs up?

They're amazing, been on 6 now and I think I might be on same one as you this time around the Med.. Ports of call are Monte Carlo and forgot other places. :S What date do you set sale and you leave from Barcelona?

[Finkelstien]

Strangely enough, never.

Hope you enjoy your trip and I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Whoa is that whats on it? :o

I remember a crusie I was going to go on had its own Mcdonalds style restaurant and everything, it was like shomg. Thing is, they can be really good on prices cuz the cruise is its own juristriction (or w.e) which means they can be nice or harsh on prices and do whatever offers they want. Never did though...

Enjoy it seriously, it'll be the best week of your life lol. I reccomend a Carribean one though, theyre so much better.

Sounds brilliant hope you and your parents enjoy the cruise :)

Cruises are amazing, I normally go on Carnival though. Independence of the Seas is a great ship.

You'll have a great time, you get to eat whenever you want too :)

jjosh24 was on the same cruise as me on Freedom Of the Seas 2 years ago, only realised when I spoke with him after. :(
All of the Royal Caribbean ships are wicked, the flowrider is mad haha and the ice-rink is nice. Best thing bout it is endless food at windjammers, I put on a stone in a week. :S Soon came off though haha.

Are you sailing from Barcelona?
