"First of all, it was so nice to see everything decorated for the holidays, however the CONSTANT Christmas music, EVEN in the spa was a bit much.My husband literally laid on the floor during one of the movies as there was little seating, while I attended a trivia at the same time in the much larger Star Lounge with a small handful of people that could have easily met in On Air...."Read More

1-10 of 360 Caribbean Liberty of the Seas Caribbean Cruise Reviews
This trip aboard Liberty of the Seas was my fifth time cruising with Royal. I have always enjoyed cruises, but there were several improvement opportunities this time. First was the main dining room for our traditional 7:45 seating. We were at our table for over an hour the first night before we received our appetizers. Our dinner took over 2 hours to get all our courses. We thought it was because ...
We won this cruise so saying anything except glowing reviews feels pretty ugly. But, because you want candor, here goes: this was largely a booze cruise which prompted less decorum than I would have liked. As a 55 yr old woman excited for a little unexpected getaway with my hubby, I wasn't necessarily surprised with the party-nature of many passengers. But, what I wasn't expecting was the nudity ...
Liberty of the Seas is an elderly ship, clean, constantly being scrubbed & maintained.
We stayed in junior suite cabin. It’s big, window plus large balcony, walk-in closet, small bathroom but it’s well-lit, plastic shower curtain which will try to stick to you.
There were passengers from Canada, Europe & South America. This is a family oriented ship but I thought surely all children ...
I chose this cruise because it was going to Haiti and Dominican Republic, some of the elevator buttons don’t work, some of the elevator call buttons don’t work. The carpets have fade marks on them as if someone vomited on them. (9th floor aft lobby). The electronics in the room are dated No USB plug ins. And they claim that medium shrimp are Tiger shrimp or Jumbo. The only way to get smaller ...
We don't like flying so this ship sails out of the NY area. The ship itself is starting to look a bit worn. Our Balcony cabin was very nice. Every time you called the front desk from our room there was always a few minute wait. This carried on though out the ship as it holds 4,600 guest and 1500 crew. Anywhere you went on the ship you were always bucking big crowds. Especially at dinner, we ...
Embarkation was very smooth, one of quickest ever had. Cabins were not opened until 1:30 pm we were onboard before noon. Since you do not get your onboard cards until get to room you use your cabin number to charge drinks until then. Menus and most information all on RCL App with they tell you is mandatory to download before cruising. Pays to do it as speeds embarkation too. Yes you can cruise ...
This 9 night cruise has me very torn…first off, I’m still on the ship. We return tomorrow and I’m kind of cruised out. We had a great time but there are a few things that weren’t as expected. First off, this is my 5th RC cruise. My expectations were high as I’ve had such wonderful experiences on my past cruises. Getting on the ship in Bayonne was perfect. We arrived at the port at 10 am. ...
Went on the 9 day Eastern Caribean cruise to Bermuda, Labadee, La Romana and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. While the cruise was nice and we had good weather, there lacks the specialness of pre-pandemic cruising. Still had a good time but things could be better.
Pluses:
We had a balcony which is always the best way to go if you can afford it
Crew was always friendly with a ...
Since I usually cruise in off-peak season, inlcluding a similar RC cruise just 2 months ago, it was easy for me to see how every aspect of the cruise was affected by the Spring Break passenger base - loads of college kids and families with children. I imagine these effects would be reduced on longer sailings, so I'll definitely keep that in mind next year.
Cabin was clean and in good repair, ...
First off, knowing it's an older ship, but the ports I wanted to go to and living at Port Everglades makes it easy to go back on this ship. Went Thanksgiving time and 1/23, in the end enjoyed both cruises but clearly not the same Royal.
Staff, most asked basically knew nothing about "The Key" . The welcome lunch when finally finding out where to go, was like eating in the sauna in the main ...
