Review summary
This was our first RC cruise after 10 Carnival trips. We will stick with Carnival.
The Independence was a nice ship, but te entire trip was rather "blah".
Pros: Nice, clean ship. FloRider fun
Cons: Boring, average/below average service; poor itinerary (we went with a large group- graduation cruise)

Ship tip
For example: $6 blackjack on the afternoon in you are in Labadee. Tables open at 3pm. The casino was dead. At Labadee lunch is from 11:30am to 1:30pm, go early. Food runs out, fellow passengers get a little irritated, and the workers deal with this everyday, so they are indifferent
Ports of call
Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
