We just got off the Liberty yesterday and I must say...WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHIP! We have decided though that the bigger ship is not for us and we will probably stick with the smaller ones as there is so much it's almost too much for us. We found rooms on the ship the day before we left that we didn't know existed and were a little upset as we would have looked at those throughout the cruise had we found them...so all in all the ship was gorgeous but a little hard to navigate as you end up getting stuck in one place quite often.
Embarkation for us was an easy process, we were in and out and through it all within 20 minutes and on the ship. Within an hour we had all of our luggage and went to eat and walk around to check out the ship. The muster drill was a little longer on this ship than it was on our last because they did it in more than one language so that was a little annoying but we dealt with it. We ate at the dining room the first night and our dining room waitress was just wonderful. Her name was Margarita and she was always on point with everything. The bar staff never came around to our table and she looked for him and apologized to us about it constantly...this went on for 2 days before she must have really said something because by the 3rd night he was there as soon as we were seated and was each and every night thereafter. The food in the dining room was absolutely wonderful. The formal night was great there were no photographers pulling us or hounding us like we were told they would, the food in the dining room was ok that night, but that was the only off night we had in the dining room. Each and every night there was wonderful and our waitress Margarita knew what we liked to eat so she had it all ready for us when we got there so it was even better.
We had some great port days! In San Juan we would have liked to arrive earlier in the day so that we could enjoy it more but we did enjoy the little time that we had. We went to St Thomas our second port day and spent the day at Bolongo Bay. It was a great beach and very quiet with good food. We decided to go to Dickinsons Beach in Antigua and we loved it so much it was definitely our favorite but we could have done without all of the vendors interrupting our relaxation time. In Tortola we spent the day at Cane Garden Bay. We also really enjoyed that beach as well although it was a little congested it was nice and it had restaurants and vendors we could visit. We would have liked to have done a few tours but did not have the chance to.
