Creator's Key Takeaways

We are in room 8560 on Independence of the Seas.

This buffet is open multiple times throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and usually late night bites, too.

We dined here a few times and absolutely loved both the food and the service.

Overall, we'd give this ship an eight out of 10.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a mattress topper as soon as you get into your room.
Head to the Wind Jammer Buffet a little bit earlier or later than peak time to get the best window seat.
Check the Royal Caribbean app daily for the latest entertainment schedule.
