Creator's Key Takeaways

We cruised on the Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas among the beautiful fjords of Norway on our seven night voyage.

The Independence of the Seas, a freedom class ship, holds a minimum of 3,800 passengers and a maximum of 4600 passengers.

We were disappointed to find out there are no selfservice laundry facilities on the Independence of the Seas.

A lot more than any other ship we've ever been on, which is surprising.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid promenade view rooms if you want a quiet room to escape to on the ship.

✓Check the app for when the ice rink is open for skating and make a reservation.

✓Use the helipad for amazing views when cruising through beautiful scenery.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding a quiet room on the ship — Avoid promenade view rooms on decks 6, 7, and 8, as they overlook the loud Royal Promenade.

Using the ice rink for skating — Check the app for open times and make a reservation for public skating.

Dealing with laundry on a long cruise — Plan for pricey laundry services, as there are no self-service facilities.
