Independence of the Seas Review
Will probably sail Celebrity next time - unless we have the kids!

Additional details
We chose this cruise because we wanted our grandchildren to have a great time. They did. We less so.
We had been on IoS on an Atlantic when the ship was two years old and enjoyed it. We knew August would be kids' central, which was why we chose to go. No complaints there. Brilliant facilities.
I could go-on about the lack of parental responsibility but that isn't RCCL's job, though Security could have been much tougher. Nothing seemed out-of-bounds and nobody from the staff cared.
Cabin Review
A suite that doesn't have a separate bedroom isn't a suite. Many glass fronted cupboards that you felt once-upon-a-time might have held glasses, cocktail shakers or whatever.
Slightly faded but spacious. A single cabin attendant had to deal with everything. He was good but looked tired.
Air conditioning could have been quieter.
