First time Royal Caribbean cruise

[princess grills]

Hello

I have cruised before, but I have my first cruise on Royal Caribbean next February.

I have booked a Grand Suite on the Independence Of The Seas on a Caribbean cruise.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated. One question that I have is, on Labadee, do I need to pay for beach chairs on Barefoot Beach? I’m not interested in the cabana’s.

Many thanks

No on the beach chairs.  Labadee has a suite beach with a seperate dining area. Good for a base, howevermake sure to walk around the island. They have a suite shuttle that can take you where you want to go.

To name a few.

You get priority boarding, look for the suite entrance.  You get breakfast in Chops. You get tiered pool seating with towels next to the bar. Free drinks in the concierge lounge from 5-8.

Read Indy (or any Freedom class ship) related threads.
