mickjacket Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 We are trying to decide between Independence or Brilliance for next April. After following the post on Brilliance and knowing how much Matt raves about Brilliance, I thought I'd ask. We are 50 somethings, no kids we cruise for the relaxation not the activities. Both are 5 night but Indy does have Labadee as one of the stops (plus). Any help or comments would be appreciated. Also we may be able to upgrade from inside to ocean view on Brilliance for same money. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I'd lean to Indy just because she's been refurbished and it was substantial. To be fair, I've been on both and I prefer larger ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamw Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 We enjoy both ships. Labadee is a must we were there last year and loved it. Depends on how much you want that upgrade as well? We are on the transatlantic on Indy next May - Miami - Southampton with Labadee as one of the stops - lovely!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjacket Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Yes Labadee is a port we really want to go to at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have been on both....Indy once and Brilliance twice.... Indy is a much more happening ship....more crowded and more kids... Brilliance is a very nice ship and more laid back and quieter in in my experiences.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 If you are looking to relax and do nothing I would suggest Brilliance ... if you are looking for activities Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
