OMG! I am a first time cruiser. I kept hearing how wonderful it is to be on a ship and I had absolutely no idea of what to expect. Well...it was WAY beyond our expectations to say the least! I spent almost a year trying to figure out what needed to be done to just decide on cruise lines, destinations, ship configuration, best dining options, how to tip...you name it...I hate surprises so it is important to be prepared for what to expect as best I can.

After a year of checking into it...and waiting for my partner to retire...we drove to Florida and spent time there acclimating to the warmer weather before going to Miami to meet our cruise ship. We had booked the Faster to the Fun pass and scooted right through immigration and customs and onto our first cruise ever. We sat in the buffet room eating our first meal within about 7 minutes of boarding the ship. We had heard about the food forever and we were in the Miami harbor looking out the window of the Carnival Liberty enjoying every moment on board. We were on board for 5 hours before even leaving the dock.

Our room was an ocean view mid ship lowest level because we had no idea if we would be sea sick or not. The room was very spacious and we LOVED being able to see the ocean outside. It was more than we ever hoped for and we were never seasick even once!

WOW...we are first time cruisers and had no idea of what to expect so we were pleasantly surprised to find a spacious well lighted room with a large ocean view window. The bed was perfectly comfortable and also large. The room had a flat screen TV and channels where you could see the ship destinations and routing, plus your room portfolio. The closet and drawer space was perfect. The bathroom was a nice size and easy to put away our toiletries plus I like the pumps for soap and shampoo. The carpet was clean, the linens were great. We did not like the huge robes as they were not soft at all, nor were the bath towels, but we did appreciate getting a beach towel to take with us everywhere we went. Plus it could be traded in any time for a clean one! We LOVED our first cruise!
