Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas Cruise Reviews

We did this with family and friends. Was just enough days. The shows were good, food good, service was excellent. Boarding on and off the ship was great. Crew was very good all around the ship. Our head waiter was excellent. We had a 6 year old with our group and he helped with swift food delivery as he was always so hungry by dinner. Clothing was Very casual in dining room for dinner. Saw ...

This experience has been nothing but a headache from the very beginning. We booked this trip for our children’s first cruise along with 2 other families that were joining us. A few months after we completely paid off our cruise and excursions we attempted to get a price reduction for a promo sale they were offering. Our ticket was canceled by a Royal Carribean agent in error which resulted in a ...

Kids outnumbered adults 8 to 1. If you want to know what a Disney Cruise is like, this was for you. LINES everywhere, don't get into a hurry, you had to wait for everything, alot of this was due to kids. ex: mom with 4 kids in buffet line trying to figure out what each child wanted to eat, while 2 of the kids were running around screaming. Staff wasn't knowledgeable, ex: at Coco Cay, asked one ...

We suddenly had four days free over the Memorial holiday and booked this cruise. We are Celebrity and Disney cruisers and we were excited to try something different. We purchased The Key, which gives your priority embarkation/debarkation, embarkation lunch, debarkation breakfast, and internet. There's some other perks, but we didn't use them. It was worth the extra cost. Embarkation ...

Crown Royal, Nope Tanqueray Nope. Malibu Rum Nope, Miscatto with dinner nope. and for you pool junkies no buckets of beer. There were just to missing liqueurs to list. the issue ? depends on who you ask ...

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 ...

Let me start this review by saying I have cruised a lot - well over 100 cruises. My wife and I have cruised on the IOS a number of times. It’s not often that we’ve had a terrible experience on any ship. However, this cruise is one of the five worst I’ve ever experienced. The dining room service was basically non-existent. My wife and I have never had worse dining service. I’m not sure what ...

* Embarkation Getting onto the ship was simple. We had no issues during the check-in process and were on-board in no time. * Staff Extremely friendly staff all around. Very attentive and caring. * Entertainment The entertainment areas left a little something to be desired. For instance, when we played bingo, it was in the worlds tiniest theater room. But the nice thing about ...

Wanted a quick getaway trip from Florida and also try out another cruise line. We've been very loyal to NCL for 15 years and this was only our third Royal Caribbean trip. Price was reasonable, dates worked and it included Perfect Day. Embarkation was very fast and simple. We arrived during our assigned time, walked right up and gave them our docs including our neg test results and vax ...

We chose this booking for our family, who had never been cruising. Also, we wanted to try an interior cabin for the first time. So, for us, the cruise was a success! However, our grandson was disappointed that the kiddie pool was closed most of the trip. Housekeeping was good; the room was kept very nicely. Getting off the ship in Nassau was too much. The ship was docked at the pier ...
