Gizzy02 Posted August 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I am looking at booking the Independence of the Seas for the 6 nighter. We have sailed on the FOS this last winter and loved it!! I know that they are in the same class but was very concerned that I might feel like I'm on the same ship as before. Has anyone sailed on both of these ships and can tell me if they are different in ways. I just don't want to spend all that money (we only sail every other year) and feel like exactly before. I love that size and the itin. is what were looking for and the price is right too. Thanks!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Production shows will be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted August 27, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Basically all RC classes of ships are the same with a few different names for bars, restaurants, etc., but the basic lay out of the ship is the same. In other words, Freedom class ships - Freedom, Independence, Liberty, are the same. Voyager class - Navigator, Explorer, Voyager, Mariner, etc. are the same. Oasis and Allure are very similar.

Merion_Mom Posted August 27, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2012 RC moved some of the venues on the Royal Promenade, from the Freedom to the Independence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brfd1500 Posted August 27, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have sailed booth and they just about identical. The only difference I recall is that the Independence dos not have Cupcake Cupboard unless they have added since 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogueangel Posted August 27, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Clean Shave is still on the Indy, it's due to be replaced by the Cupcake Cupboard after drydock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizzy02 Posted August 27, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Mmmm...i just don't know what to do!!! I don't really want to go to a smaller ship either just cause we all liked the size & I'm alittle skeptical about doing the Allure just cause of it's size!! Thanks for the input. Now what to do!!
