A Day in the Life Onboard Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas
Date Posted: 26/10/2024
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend a day onboard Independent of the Seas? Well, days are anything but typical with Royal Caribbean International. Forget everything you thought you knew about cruising and get ready for next-level thrills at every turn.
Morning: A Splash of Fun for Everyone
Start your day with a delicious breakfast at Windjammer Café, where you can fuel up with everything from fresh fruit to sizzling bacon. Families with kids, we recommend you head straight to the Perfect Storm waterslides for some thrilling fun! Watch your little ones laugh and splash as they zoom down twisting slides, or, for your younger adventurers, Splashaway Bay, is a vibrant water park packed with fountains, pools, and mini slides perfect for hours of family enjoyment.
If you’re setting sail without little ones, your perfect day starts with a leisurely breakfast, followed by a peaceful morning lounging in the adults-only Solarium. With serene pools, sunbeds, and ocean views, it’s the perfect escape for some “me time” under the sun.
Afternoon: Adventure and Relaxation Onboard
After a fun morning, the adventure continues! Challenge yourself on the Rock-Climbing Wall, experience the thrill of surfing on the FlowRider surf simulator, or compete in a friendly game of mini golf on the top deck. The kids can also dive into activities at the Adventure Ocean® youth program, where trained staff keep little ones entertained with crafts, science experiments, and interactive games.
Looking for a bit of romance? Indulge in a couples massage at the Vitality Spa or take part in a hands-on cooking class together. Nothing says love like cooking up something delicious! For lunch, grab a quick bite at Johnny Rockets and enjoy the retro vibes and famous burgers. And for dessert, treat your sweet tooth at Sugar Beach, where colourful candy confections are ripe for the picking.
Evening: Go On a Winning Streak
As the sun starts to set, the fun is far from over! For the more active crew, there's ice skating and the Escape Room Challenge, a big family favourite to enjoy. But if there’s one place to go on your perfect sea day it’s the Playmakers℠ Sports Bar & Arcade. A winning combination of legendary arcade machines, game day favourite treats, icy-cold draughts on tap and of course big screen viewing for those unmissable games.
If you’re looking for a more adults-only evening there’s only one way to start. Pre-dinner cocktails at the stylish Schooner Bar, followed by a romantic dinner at Chops Grille and to top off the evening, let the rhythms of Latin music wash over you in Boleros. Whilst we are on a winning streak, we recommend you step up your game and try your luck at the casino.
Late Night: Wind Down in Style
After a day of fun, there’s nothing better than a cosy wind-down. Families can grab some late-night pizza at Sorrento’s before heading back to their staterooms for a movie night. But the night’s still young for some guests… did someone say silent disco? Just choose your music channel and groove to the rhythms.
