Overall, my husband and I enjoyed our Carnival Liberty cruise.
Cabin: The cabin size was excellent. We have been on two prior cruises, and this was the largest balcony stateroom we have seen. The bed was comfortable and the balcony the cabin was clean! It was a quiet cabin and I hardly ever heard or noticed any noise from people getting off the elevator. My only two complaints were the fact that at night the A/C seemed to turned down or not work at all. It was warm in the cabin at night despite the A/C being on high. The second complaint would be the picture above our bed rattled constantly. We have the staff attempt to remedy the situation and they did try, but it still rattled. We had smooth seas the entire trip, and on a cruise were we had horrible seas I never encountered such a thing.
Shopping: I enjoyed the shopping on the ship. I waited till the last sea day because I know thats when the best sales are! Everything was fairly priced.
We loved out stateroom! It was spacious, quiet and close to everything.
I never heard anything from the gift shop below.
