Independence of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Tips

To get prepared for long lines getting off the ship

Don't wear plastic stilettos on the Royal Promenade. The floor is highly polished and a hazard to ladies in high heels. Always walk accompanied or go through the Casino one deck down.

Take advantage of every opportunity available.

Deluxe drink package is convenient and water bottles given at the bars to take back to cabin fridge

If you are in a wheelchair and you go in the winjammer just ask for help. The food stations are up high and I had to use my seat elevator/lift.

Book everything you want to do before hand i.e dining, drink package etc.

Be ready for crowds in the buffet lines.

Nice ship

Don’t do it

To enjoy the experience, and to try everything. From the restaurants, to the shows. There is so much to do.

Get drinks package well worth it doing transatlantic

Better time management than mine !

Definitely wear expandible trousers, you will not regret it

Book shore excursions & spa early = before getting on. Watch sales online!! Internet still best of any cruise ship. Overall great cruise!!

relax and enjoy as time goes quick from fun. expect to put bit weight on.

Make sure you eat early. Most options shut down by 9

Bring your own wine with you - very expensive on the ship

Go to every deck

If there’s a quiz or a talk or a show you really want to see, plan your day early and get there as early as you can or you may end up not getting in.

Make sure you complain about any Luke warm food you have,as that will get them to improve
