The Liberty of the Seas is an amazing ship! Has lots of activities onboard all throughout the day listed in your daily cruise compass newsletter. The flowrider had two styles. Standup surf style (very hard) and boogie boarding (lots of fun and easy for anyone). The line was about a half hour wait but still fun because you get to watch everyone wipe out! There isn't much instruction given but this makes it all the more fun! The bottom of the flowrider is a soft bouncy vinyl sort of like a trampoline so wipeouts do not hurt. There was always lots of seats by the pool deck and it was easy to get a drink from the bar servers. Rock climbing lines were very short. Lots of hard work to climb but amazing views from the top. Windjammer café was huge and easy to navigate with lots of seats as well. We would bring food from the Windjammer back to our room and enjoy it on our balcony. The Windjammer closed at 9pm. We had my time dining in the Botticelli Dining room (third level) with reservations for 8:30pm every night. If you are doing my time dining, you do not necessarily get the same table every night. The desserts were especially good in the dining room. Also tried Sorrentos pizza place in the Royal Promenade (deck 5). They had antipasto as well as pizza and desserts to choose from. Sometimes the line was quite long after the parade or an event taking place along the Royal Promenade. This was open until 2am. The Café Promenade served mini sandwiches and desserts such cookies and brownies and open 24 hours. The ice skating show (Encore) was surprisingly good. Saturday Night Fever in the Platinum Theatre was also amazing! Noticed other cruisers with gold coloured sea pass cards and they had a special VIP seating area for them. Not sure what that is all about... I am a platinum member and did not have one of those. (Maybe for Diamond members or suite members?) DreamWorks characters such as Shrek, Princess Fiona, King Jullian, Gloria, Alex the Lion and Kung Fu Panda all made appearances throughout the ship and was easy to get pictures with them with your own camera or by the professional photographer. The line at the Guest Services table was usually fairly long but staff was very nice.

Cabin Review

Had a Superior Ocean View Balcony cabin (Forward port side). Very nice room with a super comfy large bed. Also had a full sized couch and the balcony had two chairs and a small table. Very quiet cabin with no outside noise or neighbours noise. Bathroom was larger than expected. Large closet with a safe and shelves. Lots of lighting in the room. Had flat screen TV that swung out from the wall so you watch it in bed. Would probably pick a cabin Aft because the places we visited most were located aft. Such as Windjammer, the main dining room, and the sports deck. Universal plugs in the room so we could easily charge I phones, cameras etc. Our room steward Sayed was amazing and would go to lengths for us. Even though we prepaid gratuities, we decided to leave a little extra for him because he was that good!
