Creator's Key Takeaways

Independence of the Seas maiden voyage was in 2008. That's right. She is 17 years of age.

I will say in spite of a slight tight squeeze at this end, it's a good space overall.

I had a fabulous night's sleep last night. This is a super comfy bed.

I think for a Royal Caribbean ship, these colors are totally blandola.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Check the cabin drawers for cleanliness before use.
โœ“Use the hidden railings in the wardrobe for extra storage.
โœ“Request coffee if not provided in the cabin.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin size and tight spaces โ€” Configure bed as a twin for more maneuvering room.
Quiet location โ€” Cabin is quiet and close to facilities, just two decks up.
