Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas Fitness Cruises Reviews

It's old. It's small. It's trying to copy the big ships but fails. And therefore it's so crowded everywhere that's popular! Deck 5 -Promenade- is at least 2/3 smaller than bug ships. I (I chose it because the big ships are just too hard for me to explore due to a recent disability) . But people congregate and it gets too crowded to move! Music however was great! The pools...a hard skip unless ...

Chose a balcony on this cruise date as it was dirt cheap and a last minute deal. Was all I wanted, a room with a balcony with bare minimum expectations and sounds of the ocean waves. At the price point it met my low expectations as a floating people of walmart /golden coral. The thing I wish I could unsee was extremely heavy bottom women wearing a thong and see through sheer skirt in the promenade ...

I had never been on a RC cruise prior to this one and will never cruise with them again. The layout of the ship, it's pretty much impossible to find a comfy QUIET spot that is peaceful without hoards of people constantly walking by. The adult only section is smack in the middle of the boat that you have to pass through if trying to get anywhere. It is not relaxing and quiet unless you remain on ...

Horrible value, will never go on RC again. Spend more elsewhere for a better experience. Dining was horrible, somehow dining room food was worse than buffet. Food was poor quality and not well cooked. By the second day no one went to the dining room anymore. Such a beautiful dining venue, yet such disappointing food. Not one food item on the cruise that was good. Buffet hours are way too short. ...

I took a cruise 12 years ago and loved it. I was excited about getting to go back to coco cay. I told my wife how amazing it was and told my kids they were gonna love it. When we got to the new coco cay to say I was disappointed would be a huge understatement. Not only have they destroyed the island feel of it. They booked another cruise ship on the island the same day. There was no room in the ...

We chose this Cruise as a last minute thing for some reasons related to an upcoming Medical procedure. Our only option with a guaranteed inside cabin. The cabin was okay as far as storage goes, the bed was a little too firm, and the switch to the bathroom is on the outside. Therefore every time someone into the bathroom at night it lit up the entire room. This was our third time on Royal ...

Just traveled the third time on the same ship.We traveled in April on The Independence ,with a Junior Suite,,I understand in April the ship was probably 60% full,and it was great..Great service,,cabin was good and had a good time.We went back on the same ship in late August,rented a Grand Suite..also was very good,,great srvice and the cabin was very nice.The suite lounge was a nice perk also..So ...

I booked this cruise to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. We were a party of eight in two rooms on the 12th floor. The rooms were tight, but we only needed it to sleep. The rest of the ship was lovely. Michael in housekeeping and our wait staff were all wonderful. I received a bit of an attitude from individuals in the Spa and Bar (not sure which one since I don't drink, I was simply asking ...

This was a cruise to celebrate my husband's 55th birthday on 5/5. This was our first cruise with RCCL. In an effort to go the extra mile, to celebrate him, I pre-purchased the birthday decorations package (chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate cake & room décor), to surprise him upon arrival. The decorations were nowhere to be found when we entered our suite. I expressed my displeasure to ...

5th and possibly last time on a Royal Caribbean Ship. Service has been downhill for a while now and its starting to show. Embarkation: While this is not a reelection on Royal's Staff, the personnel at Port Canaveral (The Port Employees not Royal's) started the vacation off in a bad way. They were rude, dismissive and held us up from entering the terminal for over 45 min. We presented the ...
