We just returned from an 8 night Southern Caribbean cruise on Carnival’s Liberty out of Port Canaveral. It was our second cruise and the longest and it was great!

Instead of carrying all of our luggage on like we did last time, we checked most of our baggage and they made it safely to our room that evening. It made for a much more pleasant boarding. However, on disembarking my wife’s suitcase was misplaced and it took us about 30 minutes before someone was able to locate it.

The ship was considerably larger and more elegantly decorated than our first (Carnival Sensation…which we enjoyed, as well). We spent a lot of time in the Lido Pool (aft) which was adult only and on deck 10 above it which had both sun and shade all across mid-ship. It was more peaceful than the Coney Island Pool where all the people were who were looking to party! The Serenity Deck was very nice with pit groups, large loungers, hammocks, and Jacuzzis. But it was often too windy to be comfortable and a lot of the noise from the main pool still came through. The bar in the atrium was nice and they often had a singer with an acoustic guitar there when they were not having trivia contests. Read more
