Review summary

My husband and I celebrated our 34th anniversary on the Independence of the sea! Long time cruisers but first time on the freedom class ships. Independence of the sea is a very good ship. Staff was very conscientious about cleanliness of the ship.  The entertainment was very good. Cruise director and activity manager was visible and engaging often around the ship. we had a wow experience!

Ship Quality

very appealing as you enter ship

Cabin / Stateroom

we put the center table in the closet which gave us more move about room. The inside cabin was roomy enough for us

Ship tip

For example: Don't need to book a tour in San Juan just go to the "White" tram/trolley stop outside the pier for a free ride to Old San Juan and tour the forts, that will take all day, they are massive and for 5 bucks well worth it. US cell phone work and it's usually included in you plan.
