4 day cruise from Fort Lauderdale with one stop in Cozumel. It was a girls getaway long weekend so our really wanted to relax. The signage in the port could use some work and it took the cabby a minute to find the boat. We got in line and once we got inside we had a very short wait. I had cruised on royal before and had the lowest gold status but for this check in the gold line was the shortest line and we waited only 15 minutes. We brought our 2 bottles of wine, a case soda and water on board without issue. We checked into room 9394 which was in the back of the ship. It was a balcony room and very quiet would book that specific room again for sure. Our steward was nice without being over the top. I had not sailed on the liberty before and it's a beautiful ship. The gym was pretty amazing nice equipment but I wish they would have had more classes that you didn't have to pay for. I wish I had thought to download some classes on my iPad to do in the gym. The ice show is a don't miss we saw it twice and just thought it was a great experience. There is a coffee shop, Ben and jerry (pay extra), cup cake shop (pay extra) and other little stores. The food was just all around excellent did not eat in any specialty restaurants just main dining and thought everything was well prepared. Really enjoyed the small entertainment (trivia, karaoke etc) and thought the staff did a good job. They did play Quest on our last night and it was fabulous. We did one excursion in Cozumel to see the ruins and take a tour. The best part of the day was the restaurant El Pescador. Beautiful views and great food and the best sangria I have ever had. I would have had lots more of it but we found out when we arrived they only took cash.

So now for the not so good. Springbreakers! We picked the first week in march specifically hoping to avoid them we did have some on the boat and they were kind of obnoxious and over served. Bartenders. There did not seem to be one drink menu on the boat and when asked to come up with something interesting the bartenders were at a lost. The drink costs were also more inflated than when I traveled before. Internet. Terrible terrible service and expensive if you can avoid it..avoid it.
