Once a pirate’s haven, Caribbean charm shines in the picture-perfect Bahamian capital, where you’re never more than a few steps away from rhythmic percussions, appetizing flavors, white-sand beaches, and some of the clearest waters in the world.

Conquer the tallest waterslide in North America and snap a shot from up to 450 feet up in a helium balloon. Grab a drink at the swim-up bar and soak up the scene in the largest freshwater pool in the Bahamas. Or get a taste of Bora Bora with your own Overwater Cabana.

There’s always something to entertain you on Independence of the Seas. Whether riding the waves on the FlowRider Surf Simulator, climbing to the stars on the rock climbing wall, enjoying a meal at one of 12 onboard restaurants or simply relaxing by the pool, you and your group will have a memorable experience.
