just off the independence of the seas

[katsmumma]

Hi guys, Just off the Jan 28th 5 day sailing on the independence of the seas to Costa Maya and Cozumel. I'm free to answer questions if anyone has any?

 

Hi, thanks! Kind of you. My daughter and I are going in a month.

 

What overall advice would you give? This is our 3rd Royal cruise, been on older ships as we try to do 4-5 sayers.

 

Do you have recommendations for excursions in either port?

 

Also, is it a Starbucks ship? The beverage plan changed since we last sailed and my teenage daughter will need 2 hot chocolates a day to keep in a good mood. I wasn't sure if I needed to buy her a Starbucks package on top of her Refresher package.

On this cruise in April, just wondering if anyone remembers the dinner menu order? Trying to make reservations!

From all that I have seen and heard, IOS is not a Starbucks ship. I hear cafe promenade may be able to accommodate your daughter though!
