Independence of the Seas Maiden Voyage Excels!
Maiden Voyage replicates and pays fitting tribute to RMS Titanic maiden voyage.
The Independence of the Seas made a triumphant arrival at Cobh (Queenstown), Ireland as part of its maiden voyage with paying passengers on board, the local fire boats turned out in salute and what seemed the entire population of Ireland waved to the ship from every available vantage point. Local sources suggest that more than 300,000 people lined the streets and hillside roads surrounding this first commercial port of call On board geusts were treated to superlative levels of service and what the Cruise Director Ken suggested was a seven days activity program completed in four days.

The innovative Deck five, four floor atrium covered Royal Promenade shopping mall and host to several cafe’s, wine bars and pubs provided tropical sunshine although the weather outside produced rain and fog..
