heatherb1958 Posted May 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Independence spent at least one year here year round. We sailed on the Winter cruises.:) RCI wasn't making enough money on the sailings so sent her back to Winter in the US. Good to see an old favourite back.

_linda_ Posted May 14, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 14, 2016 From reviews over the years I get the impression the Independence is a favourite ship for many: why is that? Just so I get a sense for whether I should book an Independence cruise to experience the goodness myself.

bogofman Posted May 14, 2016 #16 Share Posted May 14, 2016 We arrived back this morning, Southampton has got to be the best port for disembarking We elected to take our own bags off, Caught the lift down to Deck 4 forward No queue, walked straight off and out side in 5 minutes, Less than 15 later and we had walked to the train station. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembarked several RCI and Celebrity cruises in Southampton. As long as the ship isn't late arriving (which I've not known yet) you can self disembark from around 6.45/7am. It's very swift with no formalities in the terminal, just walk off the ship and out of the terminal. All fine as long as you have no mobility issues and can manage your luggage. The train station is walkable and would take around 15 mins but taxis are available (but pricey given the short journey time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We left at around 8.45 Best to leave about 7am for the 8am train or earlier just in case they are queuing to get off early. There were no customs checks for us If walking to the station you will need wheeled cases, Plenty of cabs waiting out side if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseDucks Posted May 16, 2016 #25 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Some questions came up about the scrubbers during Captain's Corner on the transatlantic and he said that they are planning to ultimately put a fascia of some kind around them to make them more aesthetically pleasing, but I don't recall whether any time frame was mentioned for that (not sure if it's the sort of thing that can be done outside of dry dock?)
