Unquestionably the 'something for everyone' mantra that is a cornerstone of Royal Caribbean's approach to the evolutionary design of its ships is taken to new heights aboard the 3,634-passenger Independence of the Seas.

Located at the heart of the vessel is the Royal Promenade. This impressive shopping, dining and entertainment boulevard is longer than a football pitch. Putting the central glass and steel descending bridge to full effect, the nightly street parades using music, lasers and lights are a cavalcade of boisterous fun; whether its 'Rock Britannia', or 'Mad Hatters Ball'. By day and night this is the focal hub of the ship.

The 1,200-seat main dining room on Independence of the Seas, crowned by a magnificent chandelier, spans three decks and is linked by a dramatic staircase. You can chose one of two sittings or opt for 'My Time Dining'. The popular, nautical-themed, Windjammer Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and casual dining. other restaurants onboard are - Chops Grille, Johnny Rockets, Giovanni's Table, Sorrento's Pizza, 24hr Room Service, Cafe Promenade & Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Shop. There are also 6 Bars to enjoy Drinks in.

Independence of the Seas boasts 1,817 staterooms ranging from 149 sqft inside cabins to the Royal Suite which sleeps up to four and measures 1,406 sqft, with a 377 sqft balcony. There is also a 14-person Family Presidential Suite and eight Owner's Suites. A novelty for anybody who normally opts for an inside stateroom are 172 cabins overlooking the Royal Promenade - the perfect bird's eye view.
