Live(ish) from Independence of the Seas - Transatlantic 10/30/16

[Cayman Turtle]

Yeay, finally a port day, boo on the weather.

 

 

Actually it wasn't too bad. Just got back from an excursion and the rain has just started now. And with the warm temps it's actually nice to have a little rain to cool you off.

Have they started decorating yet for the holidays?

This is great finding this as two separate sets of friends are on at the moment.

Thanks for posting

You're doing an awesome job, thank you so much. Really enjoying myself reading the compasses and menus, activities, etc. At least I have an idea what to expect on the Freedom TA. I won't get hored, that's for sure :D

This has been great fun! When does your cruise come into final port, Cayman? I'm doing a 5 day Western on her so although the compasses and menus probably are not indicative of my sailing it's been so fun sailing with you!!

For taking the time and trouble to post these daily we have some very good friends on this cruise and it's been great reading the menus compasses and seeing what they might have been up to.

Looking forward to the next report.

Internet has been down for quite a while. I will post all the compasses and menus when I get some reliable service.

Yesterday's internet test. Unfortunately the satellites were down when I got back from my excursion so I only have the results from my friend.

9 more days til I board her! The next week is going to go by so slow....

How is the ship and her staff/service?

Cannot wait to sit out on my balcony with my coffee in the mornings or take a nap out there.

Hi. Glad your having a lovely time. Out of interest (I haven't actually looked at your menu photos as I like a surprise each night!!), we are on the 15 night transatlantic next April, do they repeat menus at all on a cruise that long (apart from the classic favourites that are there every night).

 

Many thanks.

Quite consistent - still wondering if/when the 200ms range pings will make a come back.

[Cayman Turtle]

We also love Lorenzo. Can you see if he will still be there next month. We are on 12/8. Also is boozeman still with him?

 

 

Lorenzo is here until February and boozeman (if that is Mark from Jamaica) is no longer on board.

Thank you so much for posting this review. You are doing a fabulous job. The menu looks amazing. I am partial to British food, particularly Yorkshire Pudding, but I am wondering if it will change once the Independence starts leaving from Ft. Lauderdale. I would be very grateful if you could ask for me. :)

Dessert menu day 12.
