My husband and I have been on small boats before that we sailed ourselves. The largest was 47'. So I was not sure what to expect on our first cruise. Some things were great, some, not so much.
Embarkation
Embarkation was long but uneventful - sort of. We live 3 hours north of the port so we drove. We arrived at the baggage drop off and it seemed rushed and rather disorganized. The police barked orders at us to hurry up and my husband scratched the paint on the bumper of the car hurrying to unload our stuff. I went to park the car and he apparently waited quite a long time for someone to come help with the bags. I understand that the Liberty is a very large ship and getting over 3000 people on board has got to be a major feat so we really gave this experience little more thought until now. The scratch on the bumper is an irritating reminder.
We had a cabin with a balcony. It was great! The room was more spacious than I expected and it was very clean and well maintained.
