Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas FOOD review & FULL dining experience
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
We spent seven nights cruising on the Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas on a Norwegian Fjords cruise, eating too much food.
The staff even integrated the funness into the main dining experience and played Katy Perry's fireworks song during our Fourth of July dinner.
We highly recommend the first dinner seating, so your big heavy meal can settle more.
The overall experience was definitely not as classy as the Celebrity Beyond.
