Our vacation started uneventfully with an on time arrival from Toronto to MIA on March 11th. We stayed one night pre-cruise at the Hyatt Summerfield Airport Hotel. We checked in at noon and enjoyed a relaxing day by the pool. The next day we arrived at POM at 11:00 and were on the ship within the hour. Our three teenage daughters had a inside cabin around the corner from our aft balcony on the 6th floor. Everything was going smoothly and we were ready to wave good-bye to Miami at 4:00 but we were delayed. We decided to go to dinner at 6:15 after the Captain had made an announcement that we were going to be delayed for a little while longer. Eventually at 8:20 we sailed from the POM on our way toward Cozumel. My DH got postcard worthy photos of the Miami skyline at night during sail away.

Most of our meals were eaten in the MDR's and since we had open seating dining we ate in the Golden dining room for dinner. We never waited more than a few minutes to be seated since we usually made our way to the dining room around 6:15-6:30. We found the food and service to be very good. Our daughters kept requesting the same waiters night after night. We ate most of our Breakfasts and Lunches in the Silver MDR which was also very good as well however, the lunch menu remained the same and with three port days it became a little stale. A daily special would be a welcome addition to the lunch menu IMHO. We enjoyed the pizza and even found the food at the buffet on the Lido deck to be good. Actually, the food on the Liberty was the best food that we have experienced on a cruise. Our room had a lovely view of the wake but since it was directly above the Victoria Lounge where the Comedy Club and Kareoke is held we found that it was quite a noisy cabin. It was quiet by 1:00 and since our daughter's curfew was 12:30 it worked out ok for us. Our room stewards were very nice and other than not even attempting to find me a smaller pillow or fix the space between our two mattresses they did a great job cleaning our room while being very unobtrusive.

The girls enjoyed the teen club and often spent time there in the evening or with friends that they had met in the club. There were many children, teens and college age cruises on this sailing and we liked the vibrant energetic feel that the cruise had. Read more
