Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently sailed on the Independence of the Seas on a three-day voyage.

I don't think it's my favorite ship to do a short cruise on. I did a three-day. I think four would be better. I think seven would be great.

If you are a new cruiser and you really want to try out cruising one, you get to go on this ship out of Miami, you could do a quick Friday to Monday cruise.

I enjoyed the cruise a lot. I enjoyed everything about it. I went to all the shows. I did all the things.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider a 7-day cruise for a better feel of cruising if you're a first-timer.
✓If you're local to Miami, the Friday 3-day sailing is great for a weekend getaway.
✓If you're flying in, opt for the 4-day Monday to Friday sailing.
