Independence of the Seas Deck 12

Johnny Rockets® has been serving up delicious American fare to diners around the world since 1986. Its menu features fresh, never frozen, made-to-order hamburgers, sides, shakes and desserts. No matter where you are onboard or in the world, you’re always surrounded by good food and simple pleasures at this retro hangout.

Sky Lounge is located outdoors, near the pool and all of the action. You can grab a stool and a drink and be sure that you're not missing anything. On every sailing, there's always a set of "Sky Lounge fixtures." They claim their seat and can be found there for the majority of the cruise. We've been known to perch here a bit ourselves. If you're looking to meet friends, and drinking buddies, this is one of the best bars to be social!

When the kids are happy, parents are happy. And our award-winning Adventure Ocean® Youth Program is designed with that in mind. Tiny travelers ages 3-5 will have an education blast in the Aquanauts group. The Explorers program keeps 6-8 year olds entertained with activities like themed parties and more. And learning is a thrillfest for 9-11 year olds in the Voyagers group.

Bubbling science experiments. Dino-sized secrets just waiting to be uncovered. Adventurers ages 3 - 5 are engaged and entertained any time of day in the Adventure Ocean® Aquanaut group.

If you find yourself fleeing a gang of ghosts, saving deep space from invaders, or starting a dance revolution, you might be at the Royal Caribbean Arcade. Your favorite games from the 1980s and 1990s are onboard, as well as modern favorites. 

Join your wee one for a session of educational and engaging fun with Royal Babies® and Royal Tots® playgroups at Adventure Ocean®. Each interactive playgroup is held at one of our onboard lounges and is designed to make playtime learning time too.

Why watch a movie inside? Lounge on the pool deck with an ocean breeze, the moon, and movie stars as big as all outdoors. The 220 square foot movie screen presents first-run movies, live sporting events and more at the pool area on select ships.

It's nice to work up a sweat while cruising. It gets the blood flowing and relieves a bit of guilt for the indulgences to come. While the ship does offer a full-service gym, this is another great option. An added benefit is the fresh air you'll get to breathe in during your workout. As a bonus, it offers spectacular views that help to ease the pain.

Emerge renewed, relaxed and rejuvenated at the Vitality℠ Spa. Professional spa products from acclaimed brands such as Elemis®, bliss®, La Thérapie and Ionithermie bring the most advanced services to the sea. Massages, wraps, facials and acupuncture, or choose medi-spa treatments to smooth wrinkles, lift and tone. A more brilliant smile is just a tooth whitening away, while a salon completes the perfect look with hair and nail services.

The Voyagers group at Adventure Ocean® offers endless ways for kids age 9 – 12 to play. They can stoke their competitive spirit at sports tournaments and video game showdowns. Show off their skills in talent shows. Join in a scavenger hunt around the ship, and much more.
