This was our 3rd cruise (all with RCI) and our second trip on Independence of the Seas.
Check-In
This took approx. 90 minutes from being dropped off to opening the champagne in our stateroom. Not bad considering we arrived at 1pm which appeared to be the most popular time for arriving! Still people complained that it was taking so long, but what can they expect when 3,500 people are trying to get on the boat..... I'd rather do 90 minutes there than hanging around an airport for 3 hours once I've checked in.....
