When the TA ran a special on cruises on their web site, I said to my boyfriend, "You've always wanted to go on a cruise, and I've found one that leaves in a month to Haiti and Jamaica, and it's on one of the highest rated ships in the world, do you want to go?" A short while later, we were booked onto the Liberty of the Seas for their January 16 sailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
SEASICKNESS
As someone who frequently has motion sickness, I was very concerned about being seasick. I brought plenty of Bonine and booked an inside cabin in the exact middle of the ship. But the first night, it was windy and the sea was rough; I was so seasick that even with the Bonine I went to bed early. Inside cabin didn't make any difference, and the walk from the elevators through those long hallways really made the seasickness worse.
We had an inside Promenade state room. It was a very good use of the little space we had, with many drawers and plenty of closet space. It was comfortable, close quarters, but it was fine for what we needed. We always had hot water, and even though the water pressure in the shower was a little weak, it was a decent shower. The beds were comfortable, and we liked having the couches to throw stuff on.
