We cruised on RC's Liberty of the Seas last February with our family - there wre 15 of us in all - My parents, brother and family, sister and family and our 3 kids. The Independence of the Seas ship is very similar so we were familiar with it from the start!
We thoroughly enjoyed the shows - ice skating, RC singers and dancers, Love and Marriage show, The Unexpected Boys show, Magic show, etc. They were all fantastic, fun and professional! The cruise director, Joff, was so engaging through the entire cruise! They also had 'dancing in the street' where everyone was dancing on the Promenade... what a great time!
We had 3 ports of call... Grand Cayman - we swam with the stingrays and had 2 snorkel stops. This cost us about $40 each and we were on a catamaran that included about 25 people in all. It was a good time - I've had better snorkeling elsewhere but it was good and our friends thoroughly enjoyed it.
We were in 3626 and it was a great location. We didn't have any outside noise at all. Our stateroom was comfortable for 2 people. The space was just as we expected.
