Liberty of the Seas Review
Western Caribbean Cruise With Large Group of Friends

Additional details
Please keep in mind this review is rather dated and some events, destinations etc. may no longer be offered. We decided to take this cruise with a large group of our friends and because it was departing from Galveston, which we could drive to in around 5-6 hours.
Pre-cruise
Our large group met for breakfast in the Metroplex and then we caravanned down to Galveston in several cars. We all stayed a good distance from the port at The Four Points by Sheraton, which is close by Pleasure Pier and a number of good restaurants. Since we had all paid for parking at the port parking area, we dropped most of our passengers and all the luggage near the ship then drove to the lot. The parking lot has complimentary shuttle service back to the ship. Because there had been an issue on the ship on the previous cruise, the ship was delayed in getting people off and then boarding all from our group. As a result, we had a considerable wait until we could board.
Cabin Review
Ocean View Balcony
We selected this room for its spaciousness and very large balcony. The room was more than adequately equipped and we had no problems with it during our entire stay. I would select this type room again if taking this same ship.
Port Reviews
Cozumel
We didn't do any excursions and only stayed near the ship to shop and dine.
Grand Cayman (Georgetown)
We had to tender to get into port here. There is a large shopping area that one could essentially stay in but we ventured out further. There is a very nice Italian restaurant called Casanovas which is a few blocks down from the major shopping area. it has a nice view of the ships and the food and atmosphere is awesome.
Falmouth
We loved the port which was made especially for cruise ships. It is mostly self-contained and we shopped and had lunch there. It is a place we all enjoyed.
