Excellent ship, great staff, very clean. Food in restaurants, just average. Our biggest issue was, that cigarette smoked permeated the pool area even though the section we sat in was closed off by doors. There should a smoking section on the upper deck.l

Review summary

The cruise was really great, the ship, crew and bars were great. There are plenty of venues to go relax and hangout. Food was everywhere and plentiful. The Buffet at the Windjammer was very good, many choices to select from. The ONLY negative was cigarette smoke, the PORT side area of the pool deck 14 where smoking was allowed, The smoke traveled throughout. Cape Liberty, was very efficient, the boarding and and disembarking was the best experience we ever had. Overall a very good experience.

My issue on independance.I couldn't bare sitting portside pool area.Was awefull.Why dont rc put smoking area at bsck of ship somewhere. our first cruise was terrible on Navigator os for this reason.At that time 2016 the casino was a smoking area all over.It was awefull. Otherwise cruising is the best.
