Sail Date: Jan 2015
Cabin: Interior Stateroom

We cruised on Liberty of the Seas on January 26, 2015. Embarkation was HORRIBLE. We waited in line for 2 and 1/2 hours, outside with nowhere to sit, bathrooms, etc. The temperature was balmy, had it been in summer, many people would have become ill. RCL NEVER explained or apologized for this ridiculous embarkation. After about 2 hours they sent an elderly gentleman out to hand out printed letters explaining that there had been trouble with getting the previous guests off. Needless to say, this started things off in a negative way. However, I will say that the people waiting were courteous and patient under the circumstances. I thought that surely RCL would not charge us for gratuities for that day as we did not get on board until after 4 p.m., the sail off party was postponed until the four day of the cruise (?) and people had not had lunch. BUT it was never mentioned in any way.

We had an inside cabin. We have sailed Princess,Norwegian, Carnival, Celebrity, RCL before and Holland America previously. This was the most spacious inside cabin we've seen. We were on deck 7 and loved our location. From our stateroom, we could walk a short distance and there was a seating area overlooking the gorgeous interior main street of the Liberty. This is where we meet our friends to go to various events and spent time resting and people watching. The room was kept immaculate. Great service.

Food - Here is where I disagree with some of the reviews. The food in the Windjammer was barely average. It was the worse buffet food we have had on a cruise. The menu repeated itself every couple of days. Dessert was especially disappointing. The main dining room was good and we had great service. We did breakfast in the dining room and had great success there. Service was good and all RCL employees were helpful and courteous.
