We have cruised with Carnival before(8 cruises no complaints), in fact our daughter was even married on the Valor. This cruise on the Liberty was disappointing overall. While the ship should be beautiful very little care seems to be taken of her during the cruise, floors were untidy-unswept, railings were sticky, windows and glass dirty and casino smokey. Food was poor, service slow so the food at dinner while presented nicely was usually cold. Buffet food was horrible and selection was poor. I will say the Alchemy Bar Staff and drinks though were top notch! Our dinner at the steak house was wonderful but we had to pay up and above to get good food. Our room was situated above the Hot and Cold Disco which did not allow for sleeping until after 2 because the base was too loud to allow for sleeping, avoid room 6402.

Now on to ports, we have been to these ports before, but we were told that we could not dock at St. Kitts because of high wind. We went to Dominica instead. On arriving home I pulled up wind reports in St Kitts. ironically the wind report in the morning was 12 mph.While the wind report in Dominica 11.5 mph. I personally think Carnival was lying to us about why we were not going to the port I payed to go to! I think staff has been cut, food selection and quality has been cut back and the quality of this cruise suffered. If not for the beautiful ports and the good weather the rating would have been lower and Carnival was not responsible for the weather. This is probably the last Carnival Cruise we will book

Cabin Review

Cabin balcony

Cabin was noisy. It was located above the disco and the base thudded until late at night making it difficult to sleep. Plastic trim tended to squeak and rattle, it looked like it had been temporarily;y wedged to try to make it quieter.
