Independence of the seas needs renovation. Wish we did not pay to upgrade room as the shower was an issue.

Review summary

Food at dinner was very nice, service fantastic. Lunch and Breakfast not so good at any location we ate (Windjammer, Main dining). Paid for upgraded room which was not worth it. Shower sometimes has hot water, severe drain issue. App did not work while on ship. Internet was terrible (our friend got so we could keep in touch) but it never worked. This ship needs a severe upgrade. Will not be sailing this ship again and maybe not Royal Caribbean. First cruise with this company was not as we had hoped.

Thanks for sharing. We have been on this ship as well and enjoyed it however, I know that things can happen. Too bad you had those issues.

Sorry you were not pleased. We are not a fan of Cozmel. We do like the private island. That is not our favorite ship, either.
