Central to the Independence of the Seas is a dynamic, color changing central mall - The Royal Promenade – which stretches for 394ft (120m). The four-story-high, atrium-enclosed, pedestrian street is inspired by London’s Burlington Arcade and is lined with a combination of cafés, boutiques, casinos and pubs.

The Royal Promenade is the ship’s central meeting place, where shopping and eating combine with entertainment and fun.
