Our group sailed on Liberty's second Mediterranean cruise commencing Aug. 1, and it is sad to say it was not all that memorable. The crew was wonderful, but they had serious system flaws with which to work.
All the ports we visited and the side trips we took were outstanding. The problems all centered with the ship itself. For example, the major problem was noise at night above our balcony cabin located on deck #8. Any time a chair or table was moved on the pool deck above, it reverberated through our ceiling to the extent, even with sleeping pills, you could not sleep. This problem existed all night, every night, throughout the whole trip, even though ship's personnel visited our cabin and those cabins of others on our deck to try to isolate the problem. I fear there is a major issue with insulation/sound barrier materials. While the Purser did refund money to our account because of the issue which could not be corrected, I would much rather have had the sleep than the refund. We even suggested we trade cabins with unsuspecting persons from a lower deck !!
Other issues included a rather lackluster nightly entertainment series of 1/2 hour shows except for the dance ensemble which on two nights was credible.
