Great review!! My sister and I sail her in 28 days!!

 

Do you recall if there were shampoo/conditioner dispensers in the shower? That is the one and only thing that is causing us to check a bag and if they are in the showers then my problems solved. I know I can buy inflated priced stuff after landing but why if it's there.

 

Thanks for you help, and HELLO from 2 MN girls looking to warm up and get some color!! :D

There are shampoo/conditioner dispensers in the shower! I agree about the inflated prices. We normally travel with 3oz containers of shampoo and body wash, but the shower does have what you're looking for.

 

Thanks for reading!! I hope you have a great time and escape the cold and snow and gross winters. I'm already looking forward to my April cruise to get my tan back.

For the ice skating show and Grease, do you have to sign up ahead of time or make a reservation, or is seating first come first serve?

Great review, thanks for all the info and photos. We are cruising this same ship and itinerary in a couple weeks. We have only ever cruised Disney with our kids, we are new to RCL so found your review very helpful. [emoji4]

Oh Great!!! Hope we can set up a meet and greet!

 

I'll be on the same cruise as well, also redeemed via MV. It's been a few years since I sailed on the Indy, can't wait!

It's been a couple years but when I last sailed Freedom class the showers had a combo product in a dispenser in the shower that dried out our hair and skin. I'm not a product snob at all but I'd plan on hitting up the drug store. Also, in Florida you can grab your two bottles of wine there too.

It seems like folks are really starting to get into the MV rewards for this. But it's a wonderful way to save at least 1000 bucks on cruising.

Sorry, MV?

[Brandywine_101]

Sorry, MV?

 

 

MV = MyVEGAS. It's a casino game you play on your iOS or android device where you win coins (lps = loyalty points) for which you can use in Vegas and other venues for discounts or free items such as rooms, shows, buffets and cruises. [emoji7]

Thanks for reading, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

Both ice skating and Grease are first come first seated, aka open seating. To those, we arrive about 25-30 minutes early to get good seats. Have fun!!

On our last cruise on Liberty of the Seas they had all the Shrek and Madagascar characters. Any characters on Independence?:)

I know there's a huge glare on the picture, I tried to angle the camera so it wasn't there but I obviously wasn't successful. If you zoom in on your computer or click on the photo and use the magnifying glass, most things are legible.

What is a Pomodoro menu vs the MDR nightly menu?

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting.

The current (old) MDR menus have names that change nightly. Pomodoro is just one of the names used for a menu. Some other names are Jasmine, Mojo, Basil, etc.

Thanks for the menus. I wonder why there's no fish on day 2.
