Independence of the Seas

DINING

Whether you want to sample a succulent steak at Chops Grille, see Hibachi and Sushi masters at work at Azumi, or just want some casual dining options like Sorrento’s Pizza, then the Independence of the Seas has you covered. Food options are plentiful and varied, and range from haute cuisine tasting menus to the sweet mecca of Sugar Beach. There are plenty of bars to wet your beak at too, with or without a drinks package. And, of course, if you don’t want to leave the comfort of your room for whatever reason, top quality room service is always an option. One thing you won’t be aboard the Independence of the Seas is peckish.

ENTERTAINMENT AND THINGS TO DO

There’s so much to do aboard the Independence of the Seas cruise ship that the idyllic, exciting destinations might not even be your best experience on your holiday. During the day you can hit the pool, take arts and crafts classes, attend guest lectures, and even get the adrenaline pumping with a go on the numerous waterslides or the surf simulator.

As evening descends, you’ll have your pick of entertainment options. There are special performances, Broadway shows, pool parties, and outdoor film nights. If you want something truly special, you can also check out the ice skating extravaganzas or feel the rhythm at the live orchestral performances.

CABIN TYPES

Independence of the Seas cruises excel at plenty of things, but one area in which they’re unmatched is the sheer lavishness of their cabins and other accommodation options. Even in the smallest staterooms splendour and comfort are at the heart of what they do, with soft tones and high quality furnishings making every guest feel regal.

With that said, there’s nothing sweeter on the Independence of the Seas than the suite life. All of the suites aren’t just spacious and full of everything you’ll need during your time aboard, but also come with concierge services and plenty of extra amenities, including a welcome drink and special privileges on the ship.

DESTINATIONS

Itineraries on Independence of the Seas are based on cruising the Caribbean and Southeastern coast of the US, with destinations including Jamaica, Haiti, Florida, and many more. A journey aboard the cruise ship is ideal for those who want to experience the diversity of the Caribbean islands, which are often unfairly (and wrongly) lumped together when it comes to culture, food, and people. So, if you’re a beach lover who can’t get enough of fresh seafood, or a rum connoisseur looking for your next favourite tipple, then book one of the trips aboard the Independence of the Seas.
