If you find yourself fleeing a gang of ghosts, saving deep space from invaders or starting a dance revolution, you might be at the Royal Caribbean Arcade. Your favourite games from the 1980s and 1990s are on board, as well as modern classics.

Climb to the top, take a deep breath, and plunge into a twisting, three-story water race. Challenge a friend on Typhoon or Cyclone and soak up the ocean views before the big splash.

Sink into plush seats and enjoy full-scale productions that range from Broadway hits to comedy, acrobatics, and live music. Spanning two decks, the Alhambra Theatre pulls out all the stops with a full orchestra for select shows.

Soak up the fun by the gallon at this supersized splash zone, bursting with kid-friendly excitement. Featuring twisty slides, playful water cannons, surprise waterfalls, and a giant drench bucket, little ones have fun by the gallon.

Enter a mysterious observatory and put your puzzle-solving skills to the test. Crack codes, uncover clues, and work against the clock in this immersive escape room experience designed for teams that love a good challenge.

Melt away tension with a massage, refresh your glow with a facial, or unwind in the thermal suite while the ocean drifts by. Stay active in the fitness centre with modern equipment and group classes like yoga, Pilates, and spin.

Watch professional skaters dazzle with high-energy shows full of flips, flair, and icy drama. Then hit the rink yourself during open skate hours - rental skates and wobbly landings included.


Fish & Ships is a quick-service restaurant located on the pool deck, designed to evoke the feel of a traditional British seaside chip shop. It offers a relaxed atmosphere and a menu packed with crispy, golden-fried favourites, delivering comfort food with a nostalgic twist.

With bold flavours and flashback vibes, Johnny Rockets has been serving up delicious American fare to diners around the world since 1986. Its menu features fresh, made-to-order hamburgers, sides, shakes and desserts. You’re always surrounded by good food and simple pleasures at this retro hangout.

Tuck into sumptuous steaks and sizzling seafood at Royal Caribbean's signature steakhouse, Chops Grille. Offering guests only the best grade-A premium cuts of meat, cooked perfectly to your own preference, this dining is not to be missed. Complete your meal with a choice of hearty sides and tempting desserts, all served in an upscale, modern setting.

From fresh sushi to delicious teppanyaki prepared tableside, you can enjoy a Far East Feast. Watch each course come together as an expert chef works right at your table. Kick off your dining experience with a few appetisers from the main menu. The shrimp firecracker spring roll is a menu highlight if you like a little spice.

No matter where you are in the world you'll always feel at home on board Independence of the Seas. Designed with comfort and convenience in mind, these affordable staterooms feature clever storage and provide enough space for up to four guests. Now, you can experience the outdoors inside thanks to the Virtual Balconies which offer guests views from the deck any time of day.

As your Royal Caribbean cruise sails to some of the most stunning destinations, you don’t want to miss a single moment. In an Ocean View stateroom, you’ll be treated to a beautiful new view every day! Spend the day exploring the world, then retreat to your comfortable, well-appointed stateroom and don’t miss a thing.

Breathe in that fresh sea air or enjoy some alfresco dining out on your own private balcony. These spacious suites can feature either one Royal King size bed or two twin beds, both options with a pull-out sleeper sofa. Grab a snack from the minibar or refrigerator, or order something tasty from the 24-hour room service menu. The bathroom includes a shower, vanity area and hair dryer.

Treat yourself to outstanding luxury with a Suite. Mixing elegance with contemporary flair, these beautiful interiors are light, airy and make for the perfect retreat. Grab a drink from the in-room bar and enjoy it out on your own balcony, or take a relaxing soak in the bathtub. Guests staying in these accommodations will also benefit from early check-in/departure and exclusive concierge services.
