We are a family of 5, DH and myself, DS 18, DD 16 and DS 11. We sailed with another family with kids the same age. We just returned from a back to back cruise on the Liberty. First week was Western Caribbean, second week was Eastern. The experience was a mixed bag for me and this review will be long.

Pre-cruise we spent two nights in Miami at the Marriott Biscayne Bay which was nice, and really enjoyed an airboat tour of the Everglades with Coopertown's Everglades. We hadn't seen the everglades before and it was really fascinating. Gators everywhere! We enjoyed dinner at Bubba Gump's, one of our favorite restaurants in Maui, and the Miami version didn't disappoint. Post-cruise we had to wait most of the day for our flight home from Miami so spent the day at Jungle Island. We LOVED this place and got to hold a skunk, feed kangaroos, pet Galapagos tortoises, and even get our picture taken with a tiger cub and baby gibbon on our laps. Awesome.

Embarkation was no problem. We didn't get to board until about noon. Our cabins were clean and bright and we loved our balconies. We were aft on deck 7, just across from the laundry. I don't recommend that particular location as we found the laundry room was always busy, and you can easily hear the conversations going on as people come and go. Our room steward Dala and her assistant were simply terrific! They knew our names the entire two weeks we were aboard, even though we had to switch to cabins on the port side for week 2. Dala even went and searched the garbage room for some fins my son left in a trash bag. She found them and returned them to him. Wow! Read more
