This was our second cruise, have cruised on Liberty of the Seas with Royal Caribbean previously.

GENERAL:

Our first impressions were that the ship was a lot smaller and didn't seem to have all the features that we had on a middle of the size Royal Caribbean ship last year. However it was spotless throughout and well maintained. There was more vibration on the ship than newer models, but in the cabin this was hardly noticeable. Entertainment wasn't great, bit cheesy and lacking in a large theatre like other ships would have. The customers seem to be middle aged on this trip, very few children (which to me is a huge advantage) and it was a little more sophisticated than previous cruises. Compared to the UK, often the dress code seems to be seriously lacking on these USA cruises, with people wearing T-shirts and shorts to dinner. Even on a non formal night, this should never be allowed in a dining room! It was nice to see people wearing formal tuxedo on formal night and there was a good atmosphere at the captains champagne event which was open to everyone in the main Piazza area. Read more
