My Quest to see Indie in dry dock


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I read a post the other day that Indie was drydocking in newport! This made me very excited as I was going to be close to Newport for a short break!

 

We headed in the car, with lots of traffic jams and roadworks. But I didn't mind as I was going to see Indie. We got to the docks in Newport, went up to the barrier, asked the lovely man where independence of the seas was docking. Still very excited...

 

The man looked blank. So we told him it was a big cruise liner. Again he looked blank and said 'we never have cruise liners here!'.... then the penny dropped! We were in Newport Wales... Indie is in the other Newport!

 

Very embarrassed we had to drive through the barrier with the lovely security men giving us a thumbs up and laughing! We just smiled and quickly went past trying not to look too embarrassed.

 

Anyways I know this is a pointless story but I thought I would share how these forums have made me even more excited about royal Caribbean ships.. so much so to embarrass myself and my lovely husband!
