Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love the new refit. Was on Independence in 2017 and found the changes were perfect.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For an inside cabin, we found it to be very roomy considering we have been on inside cabins on much larger ships. Nicely fitted.

Ship tip

Dining Room, whether early, late or my time are always an issue.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

We feel that there should not be any charges for lounge chairs at the different beaches. Enough additional charges is enough.
