Review summary
Great cruise due to smooth seas this time of year (February). Hardly knew we were moving unless you looked outside or were on deck. Royal Caribbean outdoes itself, as usual with good service in dining room and cafes. Great amenities.Ship experiences

Ship tip
First time on a Freedom-class ship. Usually book on Vision-class. Independence of the Seas is so large it feels like a hotel that never leaves the pier. Surprisingly, did not experience any long lines getting on or off, dining rooms, or at Guest Relations desk.
Ports of call
Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)
