Creator's Key Takeaways
I've been intrigued by Royal Caribbean for a while now.
Independence is big. She carries nearly 4,000 passengers. But thanks to the clever design, it rarely felt overwhelming.
The entertainment was one of the highlights. You get the full Broadway production of Greece, and it was brilliant.
So, would I sail with Royal Caribbean again after this short cruise? The answer is absolutely yes.
