Main Dining Hours & Seating

Drink Packages Available
Effective January 1, 2018, any guest wishing to purchase an alcoholic beverage package must do so for all guests in the same stateroom. At a meeting in RCI's Miami headquarters with Bliss Cruise, Royal's fleet-wide decision was due to passenger abuse of sharing drinks. So look on the bright side of things, at least we get to share each other...
Also settled in the Miami meeting, passengers should expect an increase in bartenders, bar operational hours, and other services mandated by Bliss Cruise to meet excellence standards and the itinerary of our onboard lifestyle program. See below for package pricing:
Luggage Tags
Luggage tags are available to order 48 days prior to the cruise.
Packing For Your Cruise
There is a planned U.S. Customs inspection of the Independence of the Seas on Nov. 11 because this is the first day the ship returns from Europe to the continental USA. The screening of luggage and content going onto the ship will receive extra scrutiny.
Weapons, illegal drugs, and other items that could interfere with the safe operation of the ship or the safe and secure environment of our guests and crew are prohibited. The following are examples of items that guests are not allowed to bring onboard. These and other similar items will be confiscated upon being found. Alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, flammable liquids, explosives, and dangerous chemicals will not be returned. All passengers are urged to adhere to the following Prohibited Items list and make sure none of the listed items are in your luggage:
When to Arrive in Port
November 11th is our first turnaround day in the U.S., meaning the first sailing of the season from South Florida. The Independence of the Seas may experience some delays with boarding time as many guests returning are from Europe. Also, we may see some inspections (Coast Guard, USPH, etc.) during the day that may interrupt the flow/passenger loading.
If you arrive too early, you will experience a long wait in the terminal. It's best in this circumstance to arrive into the port after 12 noon.
Bliss Cruise Help Desk
The Bliss Cruise Help Desk will be located at the Future Cruise office located next to Cafe Promenade on Deck 5. Check your cruise Compass for daily hours of operation.
Please call Bliss Cruise or your Travel Agent for more details: 954-462-5477
Finalize Your Theme Wear You just can't have a lifestyle cruise without having a theme for each night. Let your imagination run wild when planning costumes. It's not required that you dress in theme but it can add some extra fun to the evening. See above for themes on the November 2018 Independence Cruise so you can start shopping and be prepared when it comes time to pack. Did you know? Couples who dress in theme are more likely to connect with other couples compared to passengers who do not participate. The Official Theme Rotation is listed below: Day 1 - Pirates & Wenches Day 2 - Diamonds & Pearls Day 3 - Glow Night Day 4 - School House Rock: A special Royal Caribbean presentation of the onboard ship production called Grease will be held. The first show will begin at 7:30pm...perfect for all couples dining early. A 10pm edition works for couples dining later. It's strongly suggested to get to the early presentation to avoid limited seating during the late show. Day 5 - Caribbean Kink Day 6 - Lady in Red Official Bliss Pre-Cruise Hotel Party Below is a list of of affiliated travel agencies with information on lodging available at a host hotel, transfer fees to the port, and evening parties or receptions held on behalf of Bliss Cruise passengers for your November arrival.

Blue shirts are our host couples: very interactive passengers hosting meet n' greets and advising guests on the operational procedures of each playroom. Yellow shirts are the security team keeping passengers safe and adhering to ship regulations. Many passengers express interest in becoming a future team member. As a policy, preference is given (on future cruises) to customers who volunteered for a few hours during activities and other behind-the-scenes matters. Volunteering gives guests a snapshot of the operational side to determine if a future team commitment is right for them. If you would like to experience being part of Team Bliss, please send an email explaining why you should be placed on the team to Janis@BlissCruise.com. Have questions? Please call Bliss Cruise for more details: 954-462-5477
In order to make the sailing experience an even greater voyage for our passengers, a price increase will take effect on December 18, 2018 for all cruises. Reserve your favorite ship today and claim your 2018 price. Please contact us for more details: 954-462-5477
