This is our 5th time sailing with Royal Caribbean and third time on the Independence, unfortunately for me the standards have deteriorated since our other cruises.
I used to feel the RC cruise give a 5 star service but I would say 3 star is more realistic.
The whole experience feels like a cheap package holiday now, yes naturally upgrades to drink packages can make it feel this way but the whole atmosphere felt cheap.
Cabin was fit for purpose and one huge credit to RB was our stateroom attendant who was fantastic, thank you Francine.
