Independence of the Seas
Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas is one of the cruise line’s most popular Freedom-class ships — a floating resort that combines excitement, comfort, and variety for guests of all ages. Refurbished as part of Royal Caribbean’s “Amplified” program, the ship now blends bold innovations with signature favourites, making it ideal for families, couples, and adventure-seekers alike.
Entertainment onboard is dynamic and diverse. The Royal Theater hosts Broadway-style productions, live music, and comedy shows, while the Studio B Ice Rink features dazzling ice-skating performances and open sessions for guests to try out their skills. Outdoors, there’s non-stop action on the FlowRider surf simulator, SkyPad bungee trampoline, and The Perfect Storm duelling water slides. Younger cruisers have their own dedicated fun in the Adventure Ocean youth clubs, while adults can relax in the Solarium, an elegant retreat reserved for guests 16 and over.
Dining aboard Independence of the Seas offers something for every palate. The ship’s Main Dining Room delivers multi-course dinners in a grand setting, and the Windjammer Marketplace provides international buffet choices from morning to night. Specialty restaurants elevate the experience, including Giovanni’s Table for rustic Italian, Chops Grille for premium steak, and Izumi for sushi and Asian flavours. For something quick and casual, Johnny Rockets brings 1950s diner charm poolside, while Café Promenade and Sorrento’s Pizza stay open late for those midnight cravings.
Bars and lounges are spread throughout the ship, from the Schooner Bar’s nautical charm and piano music to the Boleros Latin Lounge, Vintages Wine Bar, and the Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, where guests can catch live games and enjoy craft beers and classic bar bites. At night, the Royal Promenade comes alive with themed parties and entertainment that make the ship feel like a small city at sea.
