We've just returned from a family holiday on the 11 April Independence of Seas cruise to the Canary Islands and have to say that it was one of our most enjoyable family holidays yet! This was our second cruise, the first being with Princess Cruises to Norway last year which we also really enjoyed.
We found the Independence of the Seas a very well equipped ship with nothing but friendly staff and excellent activities. We particularly enjoyed the Ice Skating, climbing wall and Flowrider (surf simulator), all of which are available at no extra charge.
The entertainment on-board was also excellent and ranged from typical theatre musical and comedy shows show to musical street parties in the 'Royal Promenade' and an ice skating show. The Cruise Director, Luke Aerowsmith, was excellent and had endless energy and enthusiasm for his job.
