We sailed on the Liberty of the Seas on August 1st in a D2 balcony cabin. This was my 18th cruise, 13 of which have been taken during the summer months. We flew into Ft. Lauderdale the night before, stayed at the Spring Hill Suites by the FLL airport and used a van service (SAS Transportation) to take us to POM on Saturday morning.
Embarkation: Our van picked us up as scheduled at 10:45 and dropped us at the pier at 11:20. The terminal check-in desks were open and receiving passengers, and we went directly to check in. There were two security checks and one other stop to have your picture taken for the SeaPass card. We were on board at 12:00. Very easy! We went first to Portifinos to make dinner reservations and from there went to check on our table in the main dining room. As it turned out, it was on Deck 3 right beside a serving station. We waited for just a short time to talk to the Restaurant Operations Manager and were reassigned a window table! Next, it was off to the Windjammer Cafe for lunch. It was not crowded yet and we had a very nice lunch. There were a large variety of food choices and none of our party of 4 went hungry!
Cabin: We had two side-by-side cabins just aft of mid-ship on Deck 9. This was a perfect location. It was an easy walk up two decks for the pools and the Windjammer. Our cabin steward was able to open the balcony dividers between the two cabins, which was great for getting together. The cabin was very spacious, with lots of areas for storage. The bathroom was a good size with the best shower ever! I am happy to report that the beds were very comfortable. On the vanity there were two electric plugs. There were no outlets of any kind in the bathroom.
9366 - Excellent location. Quiet, close to elevators. Only two flights to pools and Windjammer. Lots of space for storage and very comfortable beds.
