Independence of the Seas
When it was refurbished in 2018, Independence of the Seas became the first ship in Royal Caribbean's fleet to get the Royal Amplified treatment, which added the best in cruise entertainment and amenities. That means that you can look forward to fun-filled days, action-packed nights, and delicious food while you cruise the Caribbean.
Thanks to the ship's seemingly endless list of things to do at sea, there is something for every cruiser, regardless of age or interests, which is why Indy is consistently recognized as one of the best ships for families. The Adventure Ocean program offers action-packed programming and kid-only spaces for cruisers aged six months to 17 years, while the adults-only Solarium provides a pool and tranquil environment for those who need a break from the excitement.
The buzziest additions to the ship are definitely the theme park-like amenities, which include dual racing waterslides and SkyPad, which is part virtual reality game and part trampoline bungee. Younger cruisers will go wild for Sugar Beach, a candy shop with a mind-boggling array of rainbow-colored confections. Adult cruisers will appreciate the number and variety of watering holes that range from Champagne to Playmakers Bar and Arcade.
Onboard Experience
Dining
In an effort to appeal to the modern cruiser's shifting priorities, Independence of the Seas majorly expanded the drinking and dining choices aboard ship when it got the Royal Amplified treatment. While you'll still have formal options like the always-popular five-course dinner and wine pairing at Chef's Table, the ship's newest additions are intentionally unfussy. Giovanni's Italian Kitchen offers hand-tossed pizzas, Instagrammable charcuterie platters, and a great selection of Italian wines in a casually elegant setting. The laidback fun continues at Playmakers Bar & Arcade, where you can grab a brew and watch the game on one of over 30 TVs. Fish & Chips is yet another new addition to the ship's dining portfolio. Located on Deck 11, it's meant to call to mind Britain's casual seaside eateries with its fried seafood offerings. All guests will, of course, also have access to Royal Caribbean's signature buffet at Windjammer as well as Sorrento's Pizza, and Café Promenade.
