When planning our cruise I really found the reviews on Cruise Critic helpful, so I would like to return the favor with a review of Carnival Liberty's western Caribbean 6/9 sailing. Remember, these are just my opinions!

We booked this cruise to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary; traveling were my parents (young 70's), my brother and his wife (early 40's), my husband and me (late 40's) and 3 boys, 19, 16 and 12. Everyone has been on cruises before except my brother and his wife. This was our first time on a Carnival cruise.

We had a car service take us to the port from our home in south Florida. We arrived at the terminal around 12:15 and were on the ship in ½ hour. No lines during any part of the embarkation process, we were constantly moving from station to station. Our Sail and Sign cards were activated in the terminal, a very smooth embarkation. Read more
