This is my second time on the Western Caribbean cruise period first time on Liberty of the Seas. I picked this boat because it was similar to Freedom of the Seas which was a great experience. The amount of people on this boat was perfect for me. I like that we didn't have to reserve the shows and there was enough to do to keep us busy. Usually loading the boat is easy and fast but in our case there was a delay because of a passenger coming off and an unplanned screening of luggage. But we got on the boat in time for a great lunch and relax by the pool. The weather was wonderful even though it was late October early November. I love this dining room so much more beautiful than the Oasis Dining Room. We went on the water slides and they were really fun. The shows were very entertaining and the crowds were manageable. Cruise director was very funny. Not many sales in the Promenade as I have seen in the past. The majority of people were from Texas and it was a very quiet subdued retirement crowd which was fine with me as I am a retirement person. This is not a cruise for party central people who are looking for a rocking loud party atmosphere.
