Independence of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Traveled with 2 teens. Teen club closed. Couldn't figure out arcade (or just wasn't working). Escape room closed. Skating show cancelled (2nd showing), so if you didn't go to 1st you missed out. Grease show was them just singing songs. Soft serve ice cream closed at 6pm. Late night snack we had to order room service. Service from crew members was absolutely fantastic. A little disappointed with this cruise.

Do everything they have like the shows use the pools got tubs they even got ping pong table on deck 4 and pool tables never a dull moment I'm ready to go back.

Was very relaxed but shows had to be cancelled and shortened due to covid restrictions and lots of rain while on this trip.

Nothing to do no cruise Director no good music by the pool no dancing

Could’ve been better there was barely entertainment on board

we had a great time, beautiful ship great food excellent crew the only complaint was a hard mattress

If you are looking a nice, quiet relaxing cruise this is it.

FANTASTIC. Will book another cruise in the future

Cruise was ok, we enjoyed ourselves, but could've been better.

Short Christmas cruise that was awesome! Recommend doing a cruise over Christmas at least once in your lifetime.

The cruise was very relaxing, the ship was clean and the food was great.

As stated before, it was great to get away but the atmosphere was low key, we were hoping for more buzz and excitement. Not much nighttime activity, especially to a 17 and 18 year old.

Nice little getaway. Cruise seemed a little rushed as crew drills happened a lot. Food was good, nothing exceptional. Also the ship was quite crowded at times. Was told 2,872 were on board. Shows were lacking but still nice. CocoCay was great as usual.

Embarking and debarking were so fast and effortless if you had everything ready. Super smooth and the fastest it has ever gone. It took 15 minutes to go through TSA and get on the ship. It took 10 minutes from the time we walked out of our state room on the 12th floor, to the time we were in our car in the parking lot. Beautiful. The food in the MDR was great. Windjammer was hit or miss, but breakfast was delicious. Get there early. Everything was very clean and consistently sanitized. The cafe promenade and room service were also great. Loved the solarium and flow rider. We had an ocean view panoramic. It was gorgeous and spacious. It was at the front of the ship on the 12th floor and I highly recommend that area. It was super quiet, right next to the spa, one floor up from the fitness center and solarium.

It was a great getaway and many of us needed it. We were supposed to go to the Bahamas but that was canceled early on. Extra day at sea was great. WIFI was horrible even with the best package

This was my second Cruise this year! It was much better than the Mariner last month, but I love them both.

This was our first RCL cruise on other than an Oasis class ship. It was a weekend getaway, and it was a great weekend! The weather was perfect, the food was good, the entertainment was good, and we enjoyed the ship. I had to NOT compare this to the Oasis class ships.... but instead compared it to the Carnival and NCL ships we've been on... and we enjoyed it a lot. I can easily say its our 2nd favorite ship class! 🙂 Great for a weekend getaway!!

We had a great time with friends. The weather was great and we enjoyed our time meeting and making new friends.

Love the Up dates, all staff were great, I love cruising ROYAL ❣️❣️❣️❣️

Nice step in the right direction. Biggest gripe is the "bubble effect." Everyone is tested prior to sailing. Crew is tested. Most have been vaccinated. Why the hell are we still required to wear a mask while traversing throughout the ship? Little difficult to breathe when you're climbing 70 flights of steps per day. 3 little pigs could have saved their homes if the wolf had to wear a mask.
