This was my first cruise with Royal Caribbean and Liberty of the Seas. Cruising was my Husband and my two boys ages 7 and 10 years old and and another couple who have 4 kids ages 5,7,10, and 14. So we pretty much can answer most questions about youth activities.

We live only an hour away from Port Everglades so arrival was easy ( we got to the port around 12pm), its right behind Bayside and the Arena. Since we had a Junior Suite, we had a separate line that moved fast at check-in but the rep misplaced our seapass card and we had to wait longer than expected, but it was too long. Getting on the boat was no hassle,so we headed to the famous Windjammer Cafe for lunch. For some reason I thought this place was going to be not so nice from the comments. But I really enjoyed the food, the hamburgers with grilled onions was surprisingly good for a buffet. You really have to read all the information you get in your stateroom before doing anything, because if are signing your kids up for camp you will miss sign up and the line will be super long. The camp doesn't start until day 2 so your kids will be able to explore the ship and the H20 zone all day.

Kids Camp- All the kids thought camp was boring the first day, and none of the kids wanted to go back. But after much coaching, and wanting to actually enjoy the vacation we paid for, we made them try it the next day, and they loved it. They have several WII's the counselors have very good activities for the kids. My boys especially loved the sports activities that were on the basketball court because they weren't confined to just a kiddie room. The 14 year old met kids from all over and they had a separate area and the club was closed to just them some days so she had fun. The camp also hosted several parades in the Promanade area where the kids put on a Pirate show and Circus.

Junior Suite

We had a Junior Suite on the 9th floor. It had a walk-in closet- which was awesome. The Bathroom was a nice size. Balcany was large and relaxing, it was wonderful to watch the ship pull into the ports and see the entire island from your room. Also, we saw shooting stars and flying fish. Next time I will book a room closer to the elevator.
