Independence of the Seas is one of Royal Caribbean’s Freedom Class ships. She has fifteen decks and can accommodate 4603 passengers.
The ship is equipped with many exciting activities that are sure to keep passengers entertained and active. She also has a few features that are geared toward families.
FlowRider
FlowRider is the perfect way to experience the thrill of surfing indoors and year-round. Located on Royal Caribbean’s ships across the fleet, FlowRider offers a safe and controlled environment for guests of all ages to learn how to body board or stand up surf.
Unlike most water rides that are thrill-based, FlowRider is skill based, offering participants a never ending cycle of achievement and reward. This antidote to thrill fatigue inspires visitors to return.
FlowRider uses high volume pumps to generate a continuous sheet of flowing water (approximately two-and-one-half inches thick by up to thirty-four feet wide) over a specially designed soft riding surface. Using the power of gravity, riders ‘drop in’ and ride up this stationary’sheet wave’ just like a real surf machine.
Sky Pad
Sky Pad is a virtual reality bungee trampoline experience that’s located onboard Independence of the Seas. It’s an out-of-this-world bungee trampoline adventure that allows guests to bounce over moon craters and compete in intergalactic games.
It’s a fun and exciting activity, but people with motion sensitivity or vestibular issues should probably avoid it. It’s also best for teens and young adults because it can get quite hot on the deck.
The Sky Pad is a popular attraction on Royal Caribbean International’s Freedom and Voyager Classes ships. It’s available on several other Royal Amplified ships as well.
Gamers have been searching for a fast, smooth mouse pad that doesn’t scratch their glass skates or hard plastic mouse pads. The SkyPad 3.0 is the answer.
Fish & Ships
The fisheries sector is a key geopolitical issue in the Indo-Pacific region. It has become an integral part of the Chinese strategy to control a portion of the region’s waters as well as a threat to European interests in marine biodiversity protection and maritime security.
The EU cannot afford to be a bystander on this critical issue. It needs to develop a more proactive policy.
It could help smaller Indo-Pacific littoral states regain control of their territorial waters by promoting regional fisheries organisations. It could also bolster international NGOs that monitor compliance with the international norms on marine environmental protection. This would give them space to speak up about China’s or others’ violations and contribute towards better governance of the fishing industry.
Playmakers
Playmakers are known for their vision and ability to read the game and get into good positions. They often make incisive passes to the wingers or forwards who can see them through on goal, and deliver killer crosses.
The term ‘playmaker’ can be used to describe a wide variety of players, from deep-lying playmakers, who work in the deep midfield, to central defenders, to attackers who take up positions further up the pitch and spray the ball around.
In addition to their vision and dribbling abilities, they are usually technical and creative players with good passing, shooting, crossing and technique, able to score goals themselves. They also act as an important link between the midfield and attack, and are renowned for their improvisation and creativity on the pitch.
Escape Room
Escape rooms are a fun way to spend time with your friends and family. They’re also popular for team building exercises, corporate events, and more!
For kids, they’re a great way to break out of the monotony that can sometimes set in during school holidays. They’ll also enjoy being in a completely immersive environment, which helps them to use their imaginations more than they would otherwise.
The Escape Room also helps develop students’ psychosocial skills, which include their ability to maintain a positive mood and attitude towards themselves, others, and their environment. In addition, it allows teachers to assess their knowledge and skills in a creative way.
