We enjoyed it so much we are looking to book again next year. But won’t be on independence as she’s not doing this route any more.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The staff were very efficient at Fort Lauderdale. Saw lots of confiscated bottles of spirits to the side of bag search.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
In the main dining room dinner was fabulous. Breakfast service was slow, but the buffet was superb. Only had lunch once but it was good. Windjammer meals were varied and had lots of choice. We could always find something tasty to eat. Sorrentos pizzas were delicious.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots to do on board. Music or activities by the pool. The flow rider was great just to watch, wasn’t brave enough to do the surfing rock climbing was fun. Good choice if you want to be active.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Evening entertainment was great on the Promenade. But as soon as the party got started the music seemed to be turned off, which was a shame.

Took a fast cat snorkelling trip. To turtle bay and honeymoon cove. All beautiful. Don’t wear suntan lotion in the water, as it’s killing the beautiful fish.
