Liberty of the Seas Review

Additional details
Wow! Just returned from 6 days on Liberty of the Seas! My wife, 4 adult children and I had a great time and look forward to sailing on RCI again.
Embarking went pretty well. We arrived by automobile about 9:45am, dropped off the luggage and family. The regular port parking was full, so I went to “Indoor Cruise Parking” and paid about the same price. I found the lot to be nice and felt it was safer than the normal lot, so I will use again.
Check in went well and we were on board by 11.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
What can you say about an interior stateroom? My travel agent suggested that it would be quiet and it was. In fact, I never heard anything from outside.
It was clean and pretty well decorated and appointed.
That said, you choose an interior stateroom for price, not size experience. It was small and had no natural light. We expected this and were pleased. However, I overheard one passenger complain that they could not fit in the shower. So, if you are large or heavy, then you might want a larger cabin.
Port Reviews
Cozumel
I’ve been here twice before and find it way too commercialized for my taste. It’s the same stores as any cruise port but repeated over and over again for miles. We stayed on the ship.
Galveston
There are lots of negative reviews about Galveston. While it will never be Seattle, most of them are unwarranted.
Galveston is a common day trip from Houston and actually has something for everyone.
The port itself looks quite industrial and somewhat dangerous. I understand that.
What a lot of people miss is that the Strand district is just one block east of the port. This is an old historic district with tourist shops, bars, restaurants and a large railroad museum. Other points of interest on Galveston include: Seawolf Park with a WWII sub and destroyer escort both open to the public, Offshore oil museum, Lone Star Flight Museum, numerous mansions, The Ellissa tall ship, Schlitterbahn water park, beach (Ok, maybe you should skip the beach!) and dozens of restaurants and hotels.
