Royal Caribbean - Independence of the Seas - Our REVIEW

on
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 port was good at getting us to the right

Jedi Training - Trials of the Temple

on

If you have kids who love everything Star Wars, this is the show for them.  Our kids had the pleasure of participating in the trials and fighting Darth Vador himself.

Now we want to share our experiences with you so you know before you go.

When the park opens, the registration process for the various show times begin.

 (note:  Park opening also includes extra magic morning hours)

It is a good idea to be at the park before park opening to ensure you're at the front for rope drop.  Once open, head down Hollywood Blvd. and turn left at Hollywood and Vine restaurant toward the Indiana Jones complex.  Before the Indiana Jones entrance, you'll see an area to your left at the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost with a roped line area.  Enter the line and wait your turn.

When it is your turn, make sure all kids participating in the show are present.  You can't register them if they are not present.  

There are several shows throughout the day and they are filled on a first come first serve basis.  Since this is the case, the cast members registering you will give you a Fast Pass to use at anytime during the day (toy story not included).  These passes have an expiration date which means you can use it on another day if you want.

When reporting back for your time slot, you are signed in by a cast member and asked to stand on a series of blue dots on the ground just outside the 50's Prime Time Cafe.  Make sure your child stands in the row closets to Echo Lake.  This is the row that will go up on the upper stage and fight Vador.  The other line, will be on the lower stage and fight a different character (currently the seventh sister).

Your child will be given a robe and a light sabor for the show.  There are also Photopass photographers on site to take all the pictures.  Make sure to pre-purchase memory maker and link the Photopass card you will receive from the photographers to your account in order to get a free download of all the pictures.  This is a great because you can then stand back and enjoy your child in the show knowing that pictures are being taken.
