The Ship

Independence of the Seas 2018

Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas® is overflowing with plenty of ways to fill your time between all of those Rock ‘n Roll shows you’ll be enjoying out on the Pool Deck, in the Royal Theater, or in Studio B. You’ll never run out of things to do or places to treat your taste buds on this ship! Feast on made-to-order rolls at Izumi, indulge your sweet tooth at Sugar BeachSM, or strap in, put on your virtual reality headset, and soar high into the sky for gravity-defying fun at Sky Pad℠.

We are departing from PortMiami in Miami, Florida and will stop for some fun and relaxation on Day 3 at CocoCay, Bahamas.

What Passengers Think

We have been on all RLC’s and they have all been awesome! The lineup is always great!! The musicians are super friendly! Pam and her staff do an excellent job year after year!! Not only is the music great, but the people you met become lifelong friends. This is the best vacation ever! If you haven’t been on one yet, book now….they sell out quick!

Ali & Tony, AWESOME!!!!!! Ali & Tony, AWESOME!!!!!!

Every year it gets better and better. All the hard work by NAHA and the organizers shines through every year making this such an outstanding rock festival at sea. The friendships I have made over the years have made life better all year round and I owe that all to this event. Line-up is always top notch and the non-stop music is what every music fan is desperately searching for, and here you have it, 4 unforgettable, amazing days that stay with you all year long as you anxiously await the next sailing. Bring on 2025!
