Independence of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Cruise was ok except for the food. Better food on other RCL ships.

Food was wonderful, the beds in the cabins are a to firm for my liking.

We live in Florida and cruise often. We are also retired so tend to enjoy the ship and not get off at the ports. This is a great ship to do just that. Plenty to keep us occupied or lots of quiet places if that was our preference. This is a nice sized ship. Not too small. Not to big. Just right!

We don't recommend sailing this ship until refurbished and fully staffed. Cleanliness is an issue. The day we came home my husband tested positive for covid.

It's a great cruise. Just few things that need improvement but overall you will have fun.

We had so much fun!!! I definitely recommend cruising with friends if you get a chance. I love cruising in general, but including friends makes it twice as nice.

Overall, I belive with capacity limits being dropped recruiting crew needs to be a focus, mainly in the bar service(s). A face-lift wouldn't hurt mainly in corridors and carpeting throughout. Port Canaveral needs to up their game up especially if they want to attract these larger ships into the fold in regards to the terminals.

Was the second time on ship. Had family with us. Had a great time.

It was okay the Main dining food was a disappointment I was not a fan of The Windjammer lunch or dinner. I did enjoy our get away

Our cabin was wonderful our Stewart spoiled us rotten. But we saw the crew struggling. We witnessed 2 events were staff members started arguing in the Windjammer..never ever in over 20 years of cruising has that happened. The food used to be 5*. Not anymore. No more butter at the table but awful tasting oily tasting margarine??? We went to pay the extra charge at the specialty restaurants. Chops Grill was amazing as always. The other one omg. We send the first entree back so so bad. The other food was edible but just ok. 1 hour after dinner hubby and I got very ill. We crawled of the ship the next morning. The quality of the food has changed drastically I assume there is not enough money after COVID. We have to be patient and support our cruise lines that they get back on track. For a starter: bring the butter back

We had an amazing time since day 1! Travel with my 1year old and the childcare was amazing! I also got engaged on formal night !

Wanted to get my 90 y/o Dad on a cruise, hadn't cruised for decades. We were in a suite to accommodate him, and it was great. A 3-day cruise is pretty much too short for us.

Overall was very good. Just the check in process is a pain especially if you have kids.

Ship is enjoyable and ports appropriate for length of cruise but it’s just not long enough for me.

I was very impressed. The ship was very clean and fancy. There were many fun activities and I loved they had Easter services. I'm looking forward to the next cruise.

We absolutely had the best time!! Can't wait for our next Cruise!! Royal Caribbean you definitely have a beautiful ship with Independence of the Seas!!! Oasis class here we come!!!

I enjoyed it for being being my first cruise. And to have have it be during my Birthday was a plus! Ship was wonderful. Everything I imagined and more.

Cruise ship and personnel were outstanding! Coco Cay was really perfect!

We had a wonderful time and cruising again in May

Overall I think 4 days was actually a perfect vacation for a first cruise we will definitely be considering going on Royal Caribbean again
