We just returned from our 12 day Mediterranean Cruise aboard the Carnival Liberty.
First of all, the ship was lovely. I guess I would call it "bold elegance." Still somewhat "glitzy", but not wild and gaudy like other Carnival ships. This was our 6th Carnival cruise. Let me say that we have not sailed Carnival in many years as we had a bad experience once, and switched to other cruise lines.
We decided to give Carnival another try as we liked the itinerary.
