Creator's Key Takeaways
This happened to be the funnest ship we've ever been on.
The ship definitely felt full and a bit crowded at times, especially in dining venues, but there were places on board where we could escape the crowds.
One word could describe the atmosphere of the ship and that is fun.
All in all, we had a wonderful time on the Independence of the Seas, and being on an older ship certainly didn't affect the fun we had on board.
