4 great days on Independance The Devons
Reviewed By: summers, plymouth on 28th Aug 2008
Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean Cruises	Times cruised before: 3-5
Cruise Ship: Independence of the Seas	Sailed: August, 2008
Destination: British Isles	Age: 65+

We have just returned from a 4 day cruise to Cork on Independance of the Seas ship is fantastic , outside area for the children was exceptional [ pity about the weather] our grandsons still spent a lot of time in the pools . Our 9 year old loved the kids club . Loved the ice Show and the two variety shows . Did'nt have a problem finding a seat in Windjammers plenty of choice the boys liked the Pizza Bar and Cafe Promenade. We were upgraded to a superior Balcony that was a nice surprise the extra room was much appreciated. We choose My Time Dining which suits us the waiters were very efficient and helpful the food was fine but perhaps not quite up to the standard of other cruise ships we have been on[ its only a small whinge ] The children on this particular cruise were so well behaved all 700 of them

Question by Schulz, Fife (29 Aug 08 17:25) about this REVIEW.

Hi Glad to hear you had a good time. My husband and I are cruising on IOS in three weeks and I have just received info re My Time Dining. I was wondering how easy it is to get a table each night and is it necessary to make a reservation and if so how much notice do they need. Also we would ideally like to be seated alone (sounds very unsociable but we're really not-we just prefer to eat alone!). Did you notice many tables for two in the my time dining level? Sorry to ask so many questions but you are the first review that have mentioned My Time dining. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

As we were 4 people I can't be definite on the number of tables for 2 , there certainly were some dotted around the dining room . The safest way to guarantee a table for 2 would be to phone reservations every morning but you can of course just turn up there didn't seem to be a queue . We certainly prefer the My Time dining option , however you can only take advantage of this if you have prepaid the staff gratuity . Hope this helps

I mentioned MyTime dining in my review too - very good.(but I don't know why my review has not been published yet). You are able to prebook your table the night before. We requested a table for 2 at 8.15pm and we got a table for 2 at 8.15pm! Perfect.
