Big Chik Posted April 20, 2013 #26 Share Posted April 20, 2013 4 weeks today I'll be boarding her for my first ever cruise holiday...Woohooo! Who else is cruising on Indy from Southampton this year? :-) We are on the same cruise to Norway. Not our first cruise but our first with RCI and our first outside the Med. Counting down the days...

Borgcruiser Posted April 21, 2013 #38 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just back from the TA to Southampton . Been nearly 5 years since I sailed on her last (June 2008) . She was looking good . Some cabling work for the pervasive Wifi was being completed on the crossing. Didn't interfere with passenger activities. Enjoy your summer cruises , I'm back on her in December Bryce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motif Posted April 21, 2013 #40 Share Posted April 21, 2013 We made the trip down to see her in Southampton and watched her leave (YouTube link). Hopefully, she will have her bottom scraped and a lick of paint, too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairymelon Posted April 21, 2013 #41 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I wonder if anyone can tell me something :rolleyes: I have booked a grand suite on deck 10 on Indy at the front port side and very much excited :D Anyway, I have noticed that on the deck above is the whirlpool that hangs over the edge of the ship. Will it be possible for people in the whirlpool to see onto the balcony or will the balcony be darker for having the whirlpool above it (not quite sure if it is directly above or to one side). Some of you sound like you have been on board many times so I am hoping that it is possible to answer this :) Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on which GS you are in, people could possibly see into your balcony but they would have to really lean over. We didn't have any issues with it at all. The balcony isn't darker either for having a whirlpool above it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dino1037 Posted April 21, 2013 #47 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thinking of sailing Independence next April,have done Freedom twice and Oasis,but Indy seems to get more unfavourable reviews than Freedom of the Seas.Aren"t they exactly the same and if so why the differences in reviews?

Thank you so much Heather - that is very comforting to know. It is so hard from looking at the deck plans to work it out but I now feel totally happy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
