Cruise Ship: Independence of the Seas Sailed: September, 2008
Destination: Mediterranean Age: 65+
We have just returned from 14days in the Meditteranean aboard the Independence of the Seas, What a lovely ship she is, We had been told that it was crowded! but we never found it so, obviously the pool area can be busy but there are so many other places to sit etc. that it never seems crowded, even when everyone was inside during a storm!..The food both in the Dining room and the Windjammer was excellent and so varied, Chops is worth a visit, the food is wonderful. So is the fun food at Johnny Rockets, The entertainment was brill apart from the "Grumbleweeds" who were embarassingly bad!
All the staff were excellent especially Guest Relations, who bent over backwards to help us. It is a wonderful ship with a wonderful crew..try it...you will love it...We cannot fault it at all. and I am not easily pleased...Audrey.

the grumbleweeds were not that bad, entertainment is to everyones liking , i heard comments from other passengers that gary lovinin the violinist was dredful , yet from others he was the bees knees , i also heard simler comments like yours about the grumbleweeds and again others who enjoyed them ! its really hard to please everyone with entertainment , but i think a fair comment would be that over the two weeks there was some entertainment to have pleased everyone at some time ........................ just remembered the grumbleweeds did get a great round of applause at the end of there show ......... so they must have pleased a huge number of people
