Sail Date: Oct 2013

We are experienced cruisers (Diamond on Royal Caribbean) but this was our first transatlantic cruise. We chose a larger ship (Liberty v Legend) and a larger room (Junior Suite) because of the length of the cruise and the large number of sea days (9 in total, 8 straight). We had always loved the sea days but had no idea how we would like 8 in a row. The verdict is: "Fantastic". There were literally over 1,000 Diamond and Diamond Plus cruisers on this trip and we seemed to be the only transatlantic first timers! That tells you something. The Diamond/Diamond Plus party took up the entire lounge at the front of the ship on deck five (Royal Promenade deck). The drinks were plentiful, the service wonderful and the food adequate (why can't they make a cocktail meatball that doesn't almost crack your teeth when you bite into it?). the diamond lounge itself (deck 14) got a tad crowded and was near the Viking Crown lounge , so a bit out of the way as opposed to where they placed it on Oasis and Allure (deck 6 overlooking the Promenade). We used it a few times but didn't feel the need for it a lot.

ROOM:

Our cabin was simply great. I booked rather late due to a health issue which resolved sufficiently by early September to allow us to go at the end of October and got one of two remaining junior suites which was perfectly located near the rear elevator lobby on the 9th deck. The room was twice as large as our hotel room in Barcelona, with a nice 7 foot couch and a lounge chair with ottoman. Our cabin stewardess was very friendly and did a good job keeping the room nice and towels clean.
