Estelle Posted April 30, 2008 #751 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thanks for the link - it looks great - like the Mariner on steroids! Based on most of the British commentary I have seen so far - they seem quite flummoxed by the scale of the ship - surprising since the QM2's home is Southampton also. Granted her style is very different but she is still an enormous ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonnieSte Posted April 30, 2008 #752 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi Here is a link to the BBC website to see some video of Independence while it is berthed in Southampton, England to be launched. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7373987.stm The website does allow this to be shared so I'm hoping I'm not breaking any copyright laws by posting this. WOW thats cool, thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixer Posted April 30, 2008 #765 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi everyone, thought I would check out this thread because I just booked my first RCCL cruise this morning, sailing around the Med on Independance, Im so excited I dont know how Im going to survive the wait until next April! Here's a thought that keeps buzzing around my head - how on earth are you all planning on keeping in touch with each other on such a huge ship? Im worried that we will get split up and not find each other again :o Im thinking maybe of giving the Kids a walkie talkie or something? would they work? or possibly buying a sim card for my cell and my kids cell phones in the UK so I can text them to find out where they are? (my kids will be 11 and 13 when we sail) Hubby wants to know if they will have any real ales or draft beers in the pub thats in the promenade? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa-UK Posted April 30, 2008 #766 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi all thanks Dellas 1000 for those fab videos. The flowrider guy made that look very easy - :eek: Welcome Gixer - we are planning to take Walkie Talkies with us and I am sure they are allowed, (within certain specifications). You can find info on the RCI website. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rclcruzer Posted April 30, 2008 #767 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Great pic's! I showed them to my friend who is sailing with her DH and kids mid May. She can't wait now! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssantow Posted April 30, 2008 #769 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Marvelous Pictures. Thanks. There does not seem to be much new, just a bigger version of the Voyager class. With the exception of the suite the staterooms look very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixer Posted April 30, 2008 #772 Share Posted April 30, 2008 For those of you that are sailing the Med which dinner seating have you picked? Initially I thought late would be good and give us more time because some of the port days are pretty intensive, especially the Italian ones, but Im not sure I want to be still in the dining room at 10.30 - 11pm? I have booked late but I think maybe I might change it to early, what about everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TPKeller Posted April 30, 2008 #775 Share Posted April 30, 2008 From The Telegraph: Cruising with the masses "Jane Archer looks at the new Independence of the Seas, and asks what it's like to cruise with 5,000 other passengers."
