Creator's Key Takeaways

We spent a week on Independence of the Seas on a 7ight Western Caribbean cruise.

The ship has 15 decks and a passenger capacity of about 4,300 at maximum capacity.

It's very similar to some of the other ships we've been on.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a light sweater for ice skating shows and theater performances.
Register for kids' programs early to reserve spots.
Be aware that elevators can be slow on some days.
