Customer reviews for Independence of the Seas
Exceptional service. Everything was meticulously planned and delivered seamlessly.
We enjoyed our cruise the ship was lovely. What we didn’t like was the cost of the drinks. Far too expensive especially if you like a drink, also the entertainment wasn’t up to the standards we have been used to while cruising with P&O. We will stay with P&O in future. But apart from that the ship is really good.
We thought the ship was excellent along with the superb service throughout the voyage. The crew were outstanding ensuring they more than met our expectations.
Had an amazing time on our first ever cruise! Royal Carribean were superb and definitely made our honeymoon one to remember. Indepence of the seas is a fabulous ship with endless entertainment and activities. The shore excursions are great but I do recommend exploring on your own. The food on board is brilliant especially the fine dining and speciality restaurants. Our favourite was Izumi teppenyaki and chops grille. We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise expierence and are now planning another one next year for 1st anniversary. As always I will be booking it via planet cruise again.
