Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas Reviews
Newest Review: ... started to offer My Time dining on their ships which is what we opted for which meant that we did not have a set time to use the dining room as I did not want to be tied to eating at either of the set times that are offered.

Currently the largest cruise ship in the world, the Independence of the Seas is the newest Royal Caribbean International ship, the third entering the new freedom class of ship, it was built in Finland and registered in the Bahamas. It has an astounding capacity of 3634 people and 1360 staff/crew. It entered service in February 2008 and the whole of 2009 it is operating out of Southampton, England.

The Independence has 15 decks (these are just the ones you're allowed ... Read the complete review
