Creator's Key Takeaways

We cruised on Independence of the Seas for a 7-night Caribbean cruise that was supposed to have four port days.

The food in the main dining room has been pretty good, but there have been some nights where it wasn't the greatest.

It was clearly retrofitted with the cabanas on the sun deck, which interfered with the walking track.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive early for promenade parties if you want to see a specific theme.
βœ“Walk or run on the sun deck track earlier or later in the day to avoid crowds.
βœ“Use your drink package on Perfect Day at CocoCay.
