Super grateful the captain kept us safe from the rough waters.. our itinerary changed due to a storm but we were ok with it. I dont think anyone was upset. We had a blast at the new island anyway by Latinmely7

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Independence of the Seas

We had a great time. I would recommend to actually get an excursion from the ship.. we went outside and literally went on a taxi ride for 3 hours and brought back.. waste of money

Amazing Family Vacation by Cruiser5218930

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Independence of the Seas

Independence of the Seas is one of my favorite ships for small kids. There's still lots to do, but I don't feel like I'm paying for a bunch of extra features that I don't get to enjoy because I have small kids like I do on the larger ships.

A wonderful cruise. No complaints really. All the crew I met were so friendly and so were the passengers!

Great experience, very expensive. by FirsttimerRC

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Independence of the Seas

It was a great first time cruise. Not sure if I’d do it again anytime soon. But glad we went and got to see Jamaica and the Bahamas. Also, I don’t recommend going into Miami. I had very important items stolen out of our locked rental car and apparently that happens often. Very unfortunate.

Surprise Vacation by amsmith325

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Independence of the Seas

Overall we had a pleasant experience. I'm not sure if we'd cruise with Royal again for reasons such as lack of entertainment for teens, having an Arcade Room that you must pay for each game, lack of seafood during dining.

It was just okay. by msreidrnbsn

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Independence of the Seas

Overall I give it a 4/5. Unfortunately our tour guide for both destinations weren’t what we expected. Would have been nice to do some excursions but they are just too pricey.

Christmas Cruise Concluded-great memories by kemma94

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Independence of the Seas

I am looking forward to our next cruise. We met a couple who were first time Royal Carribean cruisers but have sailed with other companies and stated Royal Carribean was the way to go. I have never cruised another company and honestly probably never will since I am so happy with all that Royal Carribean has to offer. Christmas Cruise 2023 was completed with great memories for my family and myself. Thank you!!

The ship was great. I am unhappy with the travel agent. I requested connecting rooms, instead, my family was on separate parts of the ship; 6th and 9th floor. Being that far away from my children and husband was unsettling. by joy40700

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Independence of the Seas

Overall it was nice. It was unsettling to be placed on different floors than my family although I requested connecting rooms at the time I booked and paid.

Wonderful East Caribbean Cruise - first time cruisers by fitchjen

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Independence of the Seas

Overall we had an enjoyable time! This cruise was a first cruise for my daughter and I. There was a great deal of movement in the ship due to the high winds and weather, however, we enjoyed our time and look forward to booking our next cruise! We met quite a few people and enjoyed the activities - as well as our balcony room. Love making new memories!

Very good cruise by kenosis207

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Independence of the Seas

Great time. Even though it was for just one port, Labedee was the best port for all 3 to 5 days Caribbean/Nassa cruises.

It was OK for a quick getaway! by volleyvic

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Independence of the Seas

Quick check in. The ship was in excellent condition and the layout made it EZ to get from one end to the other. We ate in the dining room for all dinners and the food was OK...nothing great...OK. Menu was varied and portions were small. If you are looking for quiet and relaxing...you won't find it...unless you went to the serenity (adults only) pool area. I booked this cruise thinking that all schools are in session and that there wouldn't be that many kids...WRONG! It's amazing that some parents take their kids out of school for a week.
