Traveled with children

Day 1 We sailed on June 27th to July 4th on The Liberty of The Seas, Royal Caribbean. We traveled with 2 adults and 5 children ages 12 to 17. We stayed in a Royal Family Suite on the back of the boat , which you can feel the ship's vibration. We arrived and the pier via Royal Caribbean transportation immediately checked in at the Suite counter and immediately boarded the ship via priority boarding which was great considering we left NY at 5:30 am and had to wake up at 2:30am. We were on the ship by 11:30am. The suite cards are gold and come with some perks such as priority boarding the ship at all ports, concierge club every day from 8am to 11am and 5pm to 8pm which was when we went, reserved seating at shows, and the pool yet all seats were taken at pool, robes in our room and on formal nights chocolate covered strawberries delivered to your suite prior to dinner, welcome fruit basket and bottle of evian water delivered the first evening.  Also when we departed Mexico Suite Guests were invited to the Captains Bridge too see how it is done. This was interesting and a once in a lifetime opportunity and worth the suite price.  The bridge is huge and has all the modern equiptment it is indescribable. After we left the port the Captain gave a talk and took questions. It was great. Our cabin attendant was horrible after paying $15,000 for the room for the 7 of us I expected not to have to repeatedly ask for ice and extra towels he left 2 bath towels in each bathroom even though there was 7 of us. He also didn't change the dinner menu in the suite book so if you chose to order room service you had the option of ordering whatever they were serving in the dining room. He also forgot to leave the tip paper to be filled out and our final bill. I was very disappointed in his service as usually the cabin attendant on Royal Caribbean are top notch. I asked if he was new and his boss replied he has been here 3 years. After we boarded we went to the Windjammer for lunch and the food was good plus there was variety for my vegetarian step daughter. After lunch we went to our suite which was huge. There was a master bedroom the size of a balcony room and another bedroom for the girls the size of an interior room. We also had a living room with a pull our queen sofa bed for our son. There was also a huge balcony with a table and 6 chairs and an area for sunning with 2 chaise lounges. We ate breakfast on the balcony every morning we were in port it was great. The only draw back was as we were on the back of the ship there was no privacy on the balcony as the decks above an below you could see you and you could see them but the ocean view was fantastic. I am glad we book this room instead of getting 2 rooms. It Kept us more together as a family. The kids went to the teen program which they didn't  enjoy but met friends and did activities outside the teen club with there newly met friends. The best part of staying in the suite besides the robes they let you use is the nightly conceriage club. We went there where they catered and pampered you with  free alcohol chocolate covered strawberries fruits cheese hot hor du ves and petite fours. It was a quite haven we escaped to every evening for 30 to 45 mins of adult time. The concierge helped with problems and excursion changes which was nice. Day 2 Sea day spent day on flow rider, ice skating, pool and relaxing. First formal evening took photos. Our waiter Daniel was the best  my  older daughter took 2 photos with him every night one serious and one funny. When he saw us in the windjammer he got us drinks food and was catering to us even though we didn't ask him to. He was the best waiter we have had on Royal Caribbean. He even served my vegetarian step daughter separately so as her plate wont touch a plate with meat on it. The assistant waiter finally got it together by the 3rd night.  Day 3 Labadee Royal Caribbeans Private Island. Their private Island of

Coco Cay is better. This was a beach day. The buffett lunch was good,

complete with corn on the cob and ribs. Go to the buffett which is by
