Liberty of the Seas Review
Eastbound Transatlantic in a Grand Suite with a 4 year old
Rating by category
Additional details
This was our second crossing with RCCL, our first being on the Navigator in April last year, again in a Grand Suite. We thought we would try the Liberty (having previously cruised on the Independence, Voyager, and Navigator). We flew from London Heathrow and had 2 nights pre cruise at the Hilton Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, using Larry's Limos for the transfer. We will make quite a few comparisons to the Navigator in the review.
Why Liberty / Transatlantic:
We enjoy transatlantic crossings - a good mix of sea days and some interesting ports. We like the feeling of being in the middle of the Atlantic with nothing for thousands of miles around. Of the ports of call (Bahamas, Tenerife, Cadiz, Malaga, Valencia, Barcelona, we had only previously visited Tenerife and Barcelona. We also wanted to experience the recent enhancements - Dreamworks, outdoor big screen, 3D cinema etc. In addition we love sitting in the sun watching the flow rider (although we have never tried it).
Cabin Review
Grand Suite
Lovely deep balcony (much deeper than voyager class), good position reasonably close to the lifts, and very close to the Windjammer (2 flight up) and kids clubs (2 flights up). As near midships, good cabin in inclement weather.
