Wonderful cruise experience overall, but many shore excursions excluded cut off at 70 years old.

Independence of the Seas

Review summary

Boarding the ship was quite easy and very safely done. The ship itself was very clean and well maintained overall. Out stateroom was clean and comfortable, but make tissues available in PLAIN SIGHT. That would include the restroom of exposed somewhere in the cabin. The entertainment was also very good. Due to the age restrictions provided by the cruise operator AND Royal Caribbean REQUIRING you to book through them, it was disappointing. As usual, the food and service was excellent. The trip was uneventful and smooth. Leaving the ship was also quite easy and quick. Overall, it was a good cruising experience.

It was clean, comfortable and laid out very well. The balcony was a pleasure to use.

Ship tip

Look into booking your shore excursions from home BEFORE you travel. If you want to do something without age restrictions, DO NOT book with Royal Caribbean at all.
