Independence of the Seas Promenade View Connecting Interior CP

Overall the cabin was comfortable but felt dated and the mattress needed replacement

worked out great for two people

Promenade view connecting cabin was so small that I bumped into the vanity every night when using the lavatory. I am 5’1” and 135#- a small, petite person. We had to jump over beds for the 2 of us small ladies to get around inside the room. We were shocked at how poorly laid out this cabin was. The beds were like laying on a hard slab. They were so bad that we had to lay on top of our bedspreads for cushion. If this had been a seven day cruise I might have tried out one of the lobby sofas instead of my cabin bed just to get a break. The interior of our bathroom was not as clean as we would have liked. There were some leftover hairs in the shower from the previous cruiser. Otherwise the cleanliness of the cabin is exactly as you would expect and we would not have known that anyone had been there before us. Any party being held on the promenade was very loud inside the cabin. Luckily we had read reviews about this and brought earplugs with us. Perhaps Royal Caribbean could include this in the cabins for cruisers. It would’ve been terrible if we had had small children that we were trying to get to sleep or we ourselves wished for a bedtime earlier than 11 PM . Very little sound buffer. The overall comfort level of this cabin, rated from 0 to 10 with 10 being very comfortable, this cabin is a 3. I will never book this type of cabin again and perhaps won’t book this ship class again either.

We spent minimal time in our room, so the smaller size was roomy enough for our needs. It was always clean and well tended. Our stateroom steward Allen always took care of us, answered any questions we had, even helped us locate one another on times we went separate directions for parts of the trip. The bed was comfortable and the shower was lovely. Overall size of the space was fine for me but the bathroom was a bit tight for my partner

Comfortable for 2 people and was upgrade by surprise with a promenade view. Great experience. Can’t wait to return
