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 port was good at getting us to the right

Located upstairs in Cinderella's Castle is a great restaurant you don't want to miss.  From the moment you enter the castle, you will be encapsulated by the ambiance of this enchanted place.  As soon as you round the corner, there she is...Cinderella herself.  You find yourself in a cue to meet the castle's namesake and have your picture taken.  If you have purchased Memory Maker, this is a great time to scan your band so you'll have the pictures to take with you.  After the meet-n-greet, you'll be called to go upstairs to be seated.  While I recommend the stairway because of the experience and view, there is a gilded elevator for those who need it.

When you enter the dining room make sure to take it all in.  Even though you have waited, planned, and were lucky enough to get a reservation in this restaurant, your time inside will be relatively short.  And make sure to have your autograph books and pens ready.  Princesses will be making their way around to each table for pictures and signatures.  And make sure you interact with them...they are in character and it is wonderful to hear it...makes you feel apart of the fantasy.  And if you're lucky enough to sit by the windows, you'll have a great view of Fantasyland while you eat.

Servers make their way around to take your order and the service is actually good.  The beverages, appetizers, and main courses are all great choices and you will get filled up so bring your appetite.

If you decide to wonder the restaurant before you leave, which I recommend, please be mindful of others eating and try not to disturb their experience.  There are a lot of neat nooks and crannies to see given the detail the Disney Imagineers have put into it.

One thing to keep in mind is that this restaurant requires 2 table service dining credits.  So when planning you vacation, remember to allot enough credits and plan accordingly to make sure you don't run out of credits before your vacation is over.
