Independence of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall the cruise was good. It would be nice if smoking were not allowed in the casino. Nice activities in the Star Lounge and good music in the bars.

This was our first vacation & cruise without our children in 22 years! So glad we finally made the time for ourselves and sailed with RCCL. It was ONLY three days and we wanted more time when it was over because we had a great time. It was our 2nd cruise but first on RCCL and we loved the Promenade and meeting new people. We'll be back.

Our family - me, hubby, and 12-year old twins had a great trip!! Can’t wait for the next one!

loved Indy 2nd time this year sailing on her! First time sailing without kiddos.

We had a great time and honestly there was so much to do that you will not get to do everything you want to do. We enjoyed the band in boleros and would go back again. This is only our second cruise but what an upgrade from the first time you went on a smaller Cruise Line. There is something for everyone on this ship whether you are athletic love dancing or just want to relax. The only thing I did not care much for on this cruise with the casino honestly I've just hate what slot machines have come to be, but maybe it's like that everywhere now. Will definitely do this again and I definitely trust Royal Caribbean for my vacation pleasure.

My cruise was fun and upbeat. The cruise director was great and the food was amazing 👏 😋

Had fun strolling around the ship, visiting the shops. Food was good, except the buffet was really crowded, difficult to get food at the various stations. It was difficult getting to room 2600 because it wasn't acceessible from every direction. All in all, I liked the ship except for our room location. Staff was excellent and helpful. Dinner was always pleasant and the wait staff always helpful and pleasant.

Cruise director Ricky and his team kept the party going. But kept time to mysf

I'm looking forward to my next Indy cruise. Staff and food were excellent. Thank you

Lots of fun. Lots to do. We were extended an extra day of our sailing due to the port being closed in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.

The embarkation process was a breeze vs disembarkation was a nightmare. The main dining was good for breakfast and dinner and the servers were very pleasant. The entertainment was good from the comedians to the Royal Caribbean performers. Once again Ricky as the cruise director rocked.

Great staff that was very accommodating when our cruise was extended due to Ian. They helped us arrange B2B so we remained on board through the weekend, when it was safe to return to our home.

Overall a wonderful cruise. Royal does not disappoint.

Where there were numerous specialty dining options, quick service food options were limited compared to other lines. Entertainment was great! The ship was nice despite it needing some reamplification. Overall great experience!

Staff was great, made several cruise friends, throughly enjoyed our time.

Fantastic first cruise! Enjoyable for the adults and our 10 year-old. Will be cruising with Royal Caribbean again soon!

Independence of the seas is the sister ship of Freedom and Liberty of the seas. This is the first time since being upgraded that we have been on Independence, previously we have been enjoying Freedom of the Seas. Overall the ships are very similar but the service in my view was better on Freedom but I look forward to trying Liberty in November.

Good ship and food. I had thr time of my life. I have already booked more cruises because I feel it's the best way to travel and get the most bang for your buck.

It was amazing. We will book with Royal Caribbean again.

Overall, we had blast time! We’ll do it over and over…
