Royal Caribbean - Independence of the Seas - Our REVIEW

We recently set sail on a 3-day Bahamian cruise aboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's Independence of the Seas departing from Port Canaveral, Florida.  Our review is for this specific cruise only. Our boarding time was scheduled for 11:00am on embarkation day so we decided to head down to Florida a day early to avoid missing our cruise.  We stayed at the Hyatt Place Hotel in Titusville, Florida which is about 20-30min from Port Canaveral.  It made for an easy commute to Port Canaveral. Fun Fact: Embarkation is the process of loading a passenger ship    On the morning of our cruise, we left our hotel at 10:00am which turned out to be the perfect time to get us to the boarding station at 11:00am.  As we crossed the Martin Andersen Beachline Expressway, our excitement level went through the roof at seeing the various cruise ships in port.      Our terminal was Terminal 1, which is Royal's main terminal at Port Canaveral.  The signage at the ...

Fast Pass+

FastPass+, huh?


FastPass+ is an advanced ride reservation system developed by Disney for reserving select attractions, entertainment and more in advance of your trip.

These ARRs can be booked up to 60 days from the start of your vacation if you have a Walt Disney World Resort vacation package.  That being said, it is a good idea to have a game plan to make sure you get what you want and for the time you want it.

NOTE: Using a touring plan as discussed in another post can help optimize the use of your FastPass+ selections because, after all, you are limited on the number you get.

Disney allows you to choose 3 FastPass+ attractions per day for one park.  After you use your last FastPass+ you can then go to a FastPass+ kiosk and obtain one more for any park.  And after you use that extra one, you can go back and get another and so on until they're out for the day.

NOTE: You must be at a kiosk in the park you wish to use it in order to reserve it. 

So get your game plan together and use a touring plan to have those selections ready to go the morning of "your reservation day."  Remember, there are many other people out there doing the same thing you're doing.  And there are many people out there whose "day" is before yours, but whose vacation overlaps with yours.  So be patient and keep checking back if you don't get what you want.  Slots could open up over time.
