About Independence of the Seas

There’s a firm NO to FOMO onboard Independence of the Seas. Hang ten on the FlowRider surf simulator. Go head to head in a glow-in-the-dark laser tag clash in Battle for Planet Z. And score game-changing grub at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade. From next-level thrills to lowkey chill, celebrate each day at sea exactly how you want.

About the Caribbean

We love this itinerary.  It includes Royal Caribbean’s private island – CocoCay, as well as one of our favorite ports for scuba diving, as well as the Cayman Turtle Center, which has always been one of our kids favorite destinations.
