If you are looking to sail onboard royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas cruise ship, this is the video for you. We take you through what is good, bad and indifferent about the ship by breaking it down into the most important parts of a cruise holiday experience; Onboard Experience, What’s Included, Entertainment, Food and Drink and the Accommodation that we stayed in. The Independence of the Seas was launched 2007 but she was renovated in 2018, from when she has been partially based out of the port of Southampton in England before moving onto the port of Miami and then on to New Jersey. It was on a mini cruise from there in October 2025 that we got to enjoy sailing onboard and got to find out for ourselves why so many people love the Indy of the Seas, as fans of hrs affectionately call her.
