Enjoyed the Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas. The ship was wonderful, with many activities for grandchildren and adults. The shows and ice show were highlights during the evenings.....Enjoyed the three ports of call, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, (esp Dunn's River Falls) and Labadee Private Island in Haiti.
Service staff, both cabin and dinning room were excellent!
Only negative was the food did not match the hype. Had much better food, both quality and selection on Holland America, Carnival and NCL.
First time we had balcony cabins after nine other cruises, (four cabins for the eleven of us). We would not do without again.
Bathroom was better than expected, pull down bunk was OK for kids, not for an adult in the three adult cabin, steward gave us a roll away bed after the first night! Much appreciated. Cabin location amidships was fine. Was easy to get to dinning rooms or entertainment venues.
