Independence of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall it was a really great trip. The private island was our highlight.

Very nice, need to do this ship again. Didn't do everything..and it was really enjoyable.

All in all a great time even though Coco cay was cancelled. Service was amazing.

We had a great time. This was my girlfriend’s first cruise and she can’t wait to book another!!!!

We as always,rate Royal Caribbean as our go to cruise line. This trip was met with Safety and top notch safety protocols due to Covid. Made us feel welcomed and safe. Thank You Royal Caribbean.

As always we are never disappointed with Royal Caribbean, they are our number one Cruise Ship to take. Always know what we are getting with no surprises.

Wonderful, great experience would definitely recommend this ship n cruise and i will be doing this one again

Couldn't have asked for a better experience, and it felt so good to be back cruising. Crew was obviously happy to see everyone and were working hard to keep the ship clean.

Most of the changes vs. pre-Covid were positive changes. I wish we wouldn't have to wear a mask at all, but can understand the reason for it. Looking forward to the next 5 Royal Caribbean cruises we have booked

Get the resort for a day coupon and go to Playa Mia in Cozumel. You beat the ship crowd by more than an hour so you can stake out you spot on the beach. The ship tour in Costa Maya for river rafting with lunch was the highlight of our trip for multiple reasons. Fortunately we booked it from the ship so the flat tire on the van which delayed our return to the ship until after the scheduled all on board time, was exciting and fun. Its not everyday you are greeted on your return by many of the ships officers. The tour itself was fabulous.

The guest capacity was amazing, for the first time ever we was able to enjoy the sun practically anywhere we wanted on the upper decks. The staff was attentive and pleasant. The use of masks got very old by day 9. Our masks was absolutely filthy from all of the putting on the mask to be in some areas and removing the masks when in mask free areas. Factor in Caribbean heat, sweating, and sun screen I wished we had packed additional masks. With all of the cleaning and sanitizing onboard by the staff the most germ infested and nasty item on the entire ship was peoples masks.

food was always good and the service a was excellent

Outstanding service and entertainment. We felt safe with covid precautions. This was our first time sailing out of Galveston... would consider again. Smaller ship is fine for just my husband and I. Went to the casino and played slots a few nights and we enjoyed that and probably will do so again.

I definitely recommend this itinerary and ship. Remember to download the app and print your documents before leaving home. We ordered the at-home monitored test through Royal Caribbean. It was very easy and quick.

Very fun. Ship is in great shape for an older ship and all excursions and activities were fun. Longer itinerary meant we had more sea days so it was confusing to know which nights were formal (The RC app conflicted with cruise compass on that). Got off the ship in every port and even if you’ve seen them before, they need our business so consider shopping local at each stop if you can. Right now there are barely any kids on board so if you like cruising with grownups now is the time.

nice cruise and didn't get stupid on the covid issue

Overall we had a great time on our first RC cruise, however I think we will stick with Carnival.

We loved it. It was our grandkids first cruise and it couldn't have gone better. They loved every part of it and didn't notice the things we missed (ice show and ice skating) so it was worth every penny!

Excellent service, very friendly and helpful staff. We loved it, can't wait to do it again and with more family.

Over all it was a great cruise. The having no lines at anything was nice. Going to hate going back to full capacity. Some of the new ways due to Covid I hope they keep, such as Muster (watch couple videos on app, check in at station and your done) and debarking. The ship was great as was crew and staff.
