Review summary

Our sailing on the Independence of the Seas was our first ever cruise and it was a wonderful experience! We enjoyed all aspects of the cruise, from dining to entertainment. We have already booked our next cruise and can't wait to get back on the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Since this was our first cruise, we really didn't know what to expect but the embarkation process was nice and smooth. The best part was the Sail Away Party!! We greatly enjoyed it.
