This past weekend for Brennan's birthday, we decided to book a cruise to experience another new cruise line through Royal Caribbean on the Independence of the Seas! We arrived at the Port at 11:30am, and were able to board the ship by noon after dropping off our bags and parking. Our rooms weren't open until 1:30pm, so we took our time exploring the various levels of the ship and the various food and recreational offerings there were to look forward to. After having pizza from Sorrento's, we took our backpacks to the room where our luggage was delivered, and continued walking around the ship (and eating a lobster roll) as the weather arrived and the rain started. We spent the majority of the evening in the Royal Promenade while it rained mercilessly, and ended the day with (quite an extensive) dinner in the Dining Room. Thanks for watching and I'll see you soon!

We’ll have to remember to look into that! We’ve been pretty hesitant to look into packages, especially with a “splurge” on a veranda room.

Great video. Its so much easier to get the dri k package and dining oackage though. You dont have to worry about racking up a bill. Its all paid for before hand so you won't get a huge bill at the end.

I was going to book Carnavals Mardi Gras as our first cruise because of your vlog , BUT friends tell me RC is much superior, I'd love to know which you prefer please ?
@oyby
@oyby Жыл бұрын
I’m still trying to figure that out myself! The Mardi Gras felt so new, and was massive! I’m a very active person so I enjoyed all the activities that they both had. The Mardi Gras was superior with the food, but Royal Caribbean (even in a somewhat dated ship like we were on) was still so impressive with the entertainment and recreation. If it was a new Royal Caribbean ship, those look incredibly impressive. RC has their private island that Carnival (I believe) did not have, which was very enjoyable. There’s so much to compare, it really depends on the length of the trip and the age of the family members and the level of activity/relaxation everyone wants!

@@oyby thankyou sincerely for the detailed reply , it helped . A couple , early 50s and young at heart . We live in Ireland but holiday for a month ever year in Orlando ( Royal pacific this Xmas yay !) . Our choices right now are Mardi gras or explorer of the seas , RC oldest ship. We never thought of cruising until we saw your Mardi gras vlog haha I will book Mardi gras as our first cruise , and do Symphony the seas ( RC second largest & newest by inches lol) in Europe after that . Working up to the bucket list one that is 2 weeks Hawaii ! Enjoy the rest of your cruise! ❤
