Review summary
The Independence of the Seas is a great spring break cruise. Lots to do and very accommodating crew. Highlights: Sports Center staff from last cruise was on this one (Maria - she'll teach you how to do the Flowrider like a pro!) Restaurant staff was fantastic (Swabnil always had an extra dessert for our table to sample). Grease performed on the last night was a superb production, loved the energy from the cast. Activities staff, Charlie, took the time to remember us and greet us as we saw him around the ship.
Some things for RC to think about -- we've been on several RC cruises and yet to see the Cruise Director out and about other than introducing the acts each evening. Food at lunch in Windjammer seemed a bit mundane. Would have liked to see some themed lunches - Mexican, Chinese, Italian.

If you book My Time Dining - book the entire week at the same time if you can as you will most likely get the same wait staff which is wonderful
