On balance, brilliant cruise, but with some annoying issues

Having been on four previous cruises, indeed one with MSC with our kids only two months earlier, our cruise on the Liberty of the Seas, was overall a superb week's break and a holiday I have recommended to many of my "cruise-doubting" friends.

We had already done an Eastern Caribbean cruise on "Freedom" so were reasonably well acquainted with the ship. This was however our first time in a Junior Suite, (probably because we did not have our entourage of five kids with us), and unfortunately, having now been spoilt, all our future cruises, (we have already got two, (the Allure at Christmas and the Azamara Quest), booked), are going to cost me a fortune!!!

Interestingly, having done the MSC Divina only two months earlier, although Liberty is bigger by weight, she seemed smaller than Divina - but that will be the subject of another review!

If you can afford them, you just gotta have a Junior Suite at the minimum. My wife was delirious with her walk-in wardrobe, (so much so she wants to turn the box-room that adjoins our master bedroom at home in to one!!!). I just loved the bath, (or tub for our American cousins), as there is nothing like a long soak following some of our expeditions!!! The cabin is very spacious, bright and has numerous amenities, including oodles of power-points, (I read in some-else's critic that they could not find their's!). It is bright, nicely decorated and was kept incredibly clean. Our balcony was large as it was in the bulge and had two loungers as well as a table and chairs. As to our Trinidadian cabin steward, Irwin, nothing was too much trouble for a man who still loved working with RCI after EIGHT years, all of which as a cabin attendant!!! He was an absolute delight and well worthy of the commendation we gave him in our cruise survey upon departure. His puppet creations were a delight!!!
