My wife and I are currently cruising on the RCCL Independence of the Seas. We have cruised over 20 times - Carnival, Disney, Princess but this is only our 2nd RCCL Cruise. WOW! We are so impressed. The check in process was so modern and quick - our cabin was available at 1:00pm. The cabin felt large, modern, well layer out, smart. The staff have been incredible! The shio is elegant - from simple buffet dining to Specialty Dining options. The entertainment is top notch. The pools and outdoor options are amazing. The public areas are great. Love that everything is large - easy to walk around - easy to navigate. With such a large ship, it still does not feel crowded. Love the idea of elegance and no cheesy themes to deal with. We are so happy! Excited to book our next RCCL Cruise. Can’t wait to share with our teen daughter.
