Onboard Independence of the Seas, it’s perfect for families and couple alike, the amenities will keep everyone happy whilst onboard and will make sure you feel refreshed and relaxed as you travel from port to port.

Dining options are plentiful and you can choose different options from one day to the next, just see what takes your fancy. A gourmet three course meal in the elegant dining room may be just what the doctor ordered after a long day discovering the latest port, or you may prefer something quick and simple in Johnny Rockets® '50s-style restaurant. Or you can even reserve a table at the ship’s very own Portofino Italian restaurant where the dishes will make you feel like you have just stepped in from the piazzas of Rome.
In the evening you can either relax in one of the lounges and bars or be entertained in the theatre. If you’re feeling lucky, you can even go for a flutter in the casino. Then when another day has come to an end, retire to your room and rest up, ready for your next day’s adventure.
