Embarkation: We boarded the Carnival Liberty in Miami around 12:30 PM. My parents had Platinum status, so we got to go in the VIP Lounge for the first time. Our room wasn't ready until 2 PM, so we ate lunch on the Lido Deck in Emile's. We went to the safety briefing in The Cabinet lounge, for the disabled passengers.
Tilting: The ship tilted on Sunday morning about 40 degrees. Stuff fell off the shelves in our room and the water from the pool went everywhere, so the crew had to clean up a lot. We were told it was a "Technical error." Kinda scary, especially after hearing about the Costa disaster in Italy.
Room: We have a cabin on the eighth floor, right under the lido deck. I love staying on the eighth floor, cause I can just run upstairs and get a drink or and ice cream cone for Mom. We were on the starboard side, so we were able to see all the sail away action from our room. It was pretty quiet except for the rolling carts above us. Our room always felt hot even though the air conditioning was at full blast. Our balcony wasn't very smoky either, but the door clicked during the middle of the night. We never met our room steward. Must be one who hides under the bed while you're in there.
