Review summary

Independence of the Seas is a great ship which makes up for the slower pace at visiting port. It was a beautiful experience to be with a diversity of people together enjoying the entertainment and activities on the ship. RC crew was delightful, witty, and very friendly. We are ready for our next cruise would most like be with RC since we have tried other lines and up to know this is the one most fit to our likings.

Onboard Activities

Rock climb, water slide, fitness center all great! Long line for rock climb but worth it.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Excellent shows with exception of "Grease". "Grease" had some inappropriate things for children. Quality was not all that great. Script was boring. Seemed to be agenda driven.

Redundancy in security slowed things down a bit. Lotsa people so delays expected.
