Port Canaveral (Orlando) Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas Cruise Reviews

This was a 3/4 day cruise, which was back to back. I have always enjoyed cruising back to back with my husband. He passed away recently, so now, I solo cruise. I enjoy cruising. My kids encouraged me to solo Cruise. I don’t regret it at all. I’ve met very friendly people. The staff on Independence of the Seas was very friendly, courteous, and professional. The ship is really amped up. I enjoyed ...

We recently sailed on Independence of the Seas. We are seasoned cruisers with 25 prior sailings, but this was our first with Royal Caribbean. There were several highlights on this cruise including the fact that crew members that we encountered were friendly and helpful. The entertainment staff and headliners were very talented and fun, and one of the best things we experienced during this ...

I had never been on a RC cruise prior to this one and will never cruise with them again. The layout of the ship, it's pretty much impossible to find a comfy QUIET spot that is peaceful without hoards of people constantly walking by. The adult only section is smack in the middle of the boat that you have to pass through if trying to get anywhere. It is not relaxing and quiet unless you remain on ...

As with all RC ships, it's in great shape and they keep it very clean. The majority of staff are ultra friendly and welcoming. The indoor promenade is something I really like about this class of ship, and this one did not disappoint. It has an indoor shopping mall feel that for some reason I really like. It's a big ship, but it's not so big that that you cringe at the thought of having to walk ...

I recently took the ship’s September 25 four night sailing from Port Canaveral to Nassau and Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Overall, I had a nice time, but there were some challenges. First the good. Without doubt, Royal Caribbean’s biggest asset is its crew. With the exception of my room attendant (more on that later), every one of the staff was courteous, accommodating and couldn’t do enough to ...

This ship is so much fun! from the activities and amenities this ship has to offer is wonderful. The ice-skating show is the best ice-skating show across the fleet. The ice skaters are amazing, the theme of the show, selection of music, perfection! The laser tag is so much fun and great for people of all ages. The Sorrento's pizza on this ship for some reason is so delicious I think it's the ...

We have cruised Royal Caribbean 7 times and love it. However, the show Grease was a big disappointment. It began with one of the actors humping the leg of another. Then later in the show, Danny comes out wearing a sweat suit. He turned to the audience and it looked like he had a huge erection. Some people laughed and he pulled out a pack of cigarettes. We thought it was Very inappropriate for ...

The Royal Caribbean staff were mostly great. Some of them didn’t know very much. Maybe the were new hires. It was hard to find out what to expect or how to plan for this cruise from the Royal Caribbean website. Especially what you need purchase for food. My wife and I knew absolutely nothing about being on a cruise ship and learned as we went along. We bought a Key Membership. I recommend ...

Overall enjoyed 3 days on the cruise. Ship by name independence of the sea was like a mini town by itself. Om the ship everything was available. Very nice cruise, good rooms, good restaurants, good food. Good facilities, Overall enjoyed the cruise trip. Enjoyed the show on ice skating, musical show , very courteous service staff and passenger service staff. Easy embarkation, easy check out, ...

Horrible value, will never go on RC again. Spend more elsewhere for a better experience. Dining was horrible, somehow dining room food was worse than buffet. Food was poor quality and not well cooked. By the second day no one went to the dining room anymore. Such a beautiful dining venue, yet such disappointing food. Not one food item on the cruise that was good. Buffet hours are way too short. ...
