Returned from out very first cruise on the Carnival Liberty. Found boarding at miami very easy much like waiting to board a plane. Given Boarding number when we arrived at the port at 11am. and was on the ship by a little after noon.
We toured the areas of the ship when we first boarded, checked out the bars/casino , dining room, before finally stopping on the lido deck for a bite to eat. Relaxed at a table near the windows in Emile"s buffet until 2pm when are room was ready to unload our carryon.
First impressions of the ship was it was pretty easy to find your way around, simply go to lido deck and walk to the back of the ship , use elevators or stairways up or down to where you wanted to go. Dining rooms on Level 3 and 4 . Pool and Emile's on Level 8 and casino/bars on level 5 i think, if i remember right. Ship was very clean and our room although not hugh was plenty big enough on Level 6(6277) right behind the elevators, a good location and was quiet to sleep.)
