Creator's Key Takeaways

Independence of the Seas was the first Royal Caribbean ship to receive royal amplification which is where a Royal crewman takes about a hundred million dollars 120 somewhere around there throws it into the ship and adds all these fun new features

the escape room was definitely the most difficult that we've done and not difficult as in just challenging difficult as in there were certain portions where it was very close to impossible to be able to solve it independently

having a legit Broadway show on this ship is a huge selling point for this ship it was definitely one of the highlights of the sailing

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a promenade view room if you want to watch nightly parties from your cabin
βœ“Check the pizza of the day at Sorrento's for different specialty options
βœ“Arrive early for the Broadway show 'Grease' as it gets packed
βœ“Consider the splash away Bay area if traveling with kids

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Noise in promenade view rooms β€” Test the noise level yourself, as our room was noisier than expected due to hallway and connecting door.
Choosing a stateroom category β€” Consider spacious interiors or panoramic ocean views, as promenade rooms can be noisy.

Welcome to our next full, nitty gritty ship review! In this video, we go in depth on all the offerings onboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas! We sailed on Independence of the Seas in November 2019 on a 7 night Western Caribbean sailing! In this review we discuss all the public spaces, accommodations, activities, entertainment, and dining options that this ship has to offer. We also rated these different categories based on our experiences and how it measures up to other ships. Overall, we were very pleased with Independence of the Seas! This ship features many engaging activities, delicious foods, and excellent entertainment! There are a large amount of offering on this ship, but our grading dipped a bit due to some personal experiences on our specific sailing. However, we think this is an awesome and solid cruise option! Even though there were a few hiccups, we still think Independence is a great choice, and we highly recommend it!
