Hi All I have also just returned from the 5th January Sailing on the Liberty of the Seas, and gutted to be back in cold wet England.
Having sailed on the Freedom last year with my fiancEe and friends from New Jersey, we already knew the layout of the ship, so were able to relax as soon as we got on board. Our Friends also joined us on this cruise.
BIG TIP - EMBARKING - GET THERE EARLY We arrived at the port at 12.15 and were on the ship by 12.30, it was so easy, there were no queues, because we were from the UK we had to go through immigration, due to there being hardly any passengers at this time it was a breeze. We had a cocktail in the pool bar to waste 30 mins, as our stateroom wasn't ready until 1 pm.
