Embarking the Liberty of the Seas, was probably the best decision my husband and I had ever made! For our 5th year wedding anniversary, we decided to take a cruise, and we didn't want to cruise just anywhere! The Western Caribbean was the best itinerary for us!

We drove from Central Alabama to Fort Lauderdale. The drive was perfect, and it didn't seem like it took 11 hours. We spent the night in a hotel, and then took a shuttle to the port the following morning. The lines were not long to board the ship, only there was a small hiccup. We had to wait for about 30 minutes in a "holding area" while passengers from the previous cruise were disembarking the boat. Once onboard, we could NOT believe our eyes! We immiediately went for lunch in the WindJammer. My hubby loves to eat, and the food was GREAT. I've read many reviews where people have been upset with the "quality" of food in the WindJammer, but we thought it was perfect! The only addition I would make is to ADD SWEET TEA to the menu! We went 6 days without sweet tea, and adding sweet & low to an unsweet tea is not the same. But I digress. After eating, we started exploring the ship. At 1 we were allowed to enter our stateroom. WE LOVED IT. Our attendant, William Newell was AMAZING!! He was very helpful and nice. Our luggage didn't arrive until after dinner on the first night, so we had to eat our first dinner in our "travel clothes" which consisted of shorts and t shirts! My advice--pack a small bag with a swimsuit and change of clothes so that you can lay out by one of the pools while your bags are on the way!

The at sea day was a lot of fun. We spent time in different seminars, and just explored the boat. We never felt pressured to do or buy anything. After dinner that night, we saw our first show "In The Air". It was great! Although, at the front of the boat where the theatre is located, you can really feel the boat rocking. I had to look away a few times because the boat was rocking and the actors were spinning in different directions. My head was starting to swim! Also, on the night of the second day, we found out that cruise.com had given us $50 onboard spending credit! My husband was able to buy juices, ice creams and slushies with this free money! What a nice gesture!

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D2

Great balcony. Great location--Deck 9--there are no public areas on this deck. Just the staterooms. We only heard noise from Deck 10 one night. Tiny shower...but that's to be expected. The beds were awesome! We loved the room service :)
