Creator's Key Takeaways

We were so excited to get back on Royal Caribbean for the first time since 2018, but as you will see in our Full Cruise Review of Independence of the Seas, she disappointed us!

I give it 10 out of 10 for getting on for the embarcation.

I've give it six out of 10. There were quite a lot of issues that we had with it.

The drinks aren't strong enough.

YouTube Video Description↓

We were so excited to get back on Royal Caribbean for the first time since 2018, but as you will see in our Full Cruise Review of Independence of the Seas, she disappointed us! But Why? In our full cruise review we will break down all the different aspects of the cruise from Embarkation, Balcony Cabin Review, Food & Dining, Drinks & Bars, Entertainment and more. We really wanted to love this cruise, especially as it was our first official group cruise EVER, but the reality was, we didn't. Don't get us wrong, the group cruise part was amazing, and our group was fantastic, and we had so much fun together, but not because of the ship.
