Review summary

I would recommend this cruise for everyone. Labadee was beautiful and you should try the zipline. It was amazing. The staff of the ship were all very friendly and helpful as well as those on the island.

We have sailed Independence. I do prefer the larger ships now, but this is a pretty good class.

We were on the Independence of the Seas in 2017. Loved it. My daughter, her husband and 2 of her kids were also with us. We all loved everything . Grease was probably the best show I’ve ever seen on a cruise. My teen grandson was mesmerized.

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know that Labadee was okay to travel to. When I went earlier in the year they canceled Labadee and replaced it with Nassau
