2008 Holiday?

Question

I've just booked my Holiday for next year...A 14 day cruise around the Italian Meditteran on the 9th August, aboard Royal Carribean's Indendependance of the Seas (Launches in May 2008 as the World's largest Ship). Sails from Southampton, England.

Can't wait, anyone out there also booked next years holiday yet?

Answer 1

Yes, as a matter of fact we have.

But first, we went on the sister ship to the Independence, the Freedom of the Seas, last November and its a great ship.  I was surprised as to how quickly they got passengers on board.  With 4,000 passengers you would think that it would take a long time.  The only thing I didn't like about the ship was the Windjammer Cafe is not large enough to handle the whole ship on days when you are at sea and everyone wants to go to lunch at the same time (same when you first board the first day).  

We have a cruise booked for South America next March on the Royal Caribbeans' Sovereign of the Seas (I think that's the one).  We did the Mediterranean on RC's Brilliance of the Seas a couple years ago.  Its a nice cruise, but tiring because there are so many historic spots to see when you are in port and you want to do them.  So you don't have 3 or 4 days in a row to just relax.  But you will greatly enjoy the cruise anyway.

Answer 2

I am booked on the Independence's older sister, the Freedom of the Seas for the end of June 2007.

Then I have two cruises booked for 2008.  First one week in April to the southern Caribbean and a five nighter in August to eastern Canada.
