My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day voyage on LOS. We booked the trip in mid December and got awesome price on cruise and flights. We had only cruised RC once w/ about 6 other sailings On Carnival. Having read reviews and information on LOS our expectations were pretty high. Fortunately in almost every aspect RC didn't disappoint.
Here's a quick run down of our voyage. Originally we were ...
Having sailed around the Mediterranean on numerous occasions this was the first time that an additional tax had been added to the onboard billing. As well as the usual gratuity which is automatically added to Bevarages and Food items an additional 10 % Spanish tax was also added whilst on retail purchases this was an additional 20%. What happened to duty free prices ? we are still unsure why this ...
We booked for the West Med cruise departing from Barcelona calling at Provence (Marseilles), Villaefranche (Monaco & Nice), La Spezia (Pisa & Florence), Civitavecchia (Rome) and Naples on the Liberty of the Seas.
I would recommend that prior to departing you register to the online Royal Caribbean system to be able to check in online. We tried to change our registered bank card for this on here ...
I think that Royal Caribbean is probably one of the best Cruise Lines around but I was a little disappointed with my 7 night cruise on the Liberty of the Seas, first of all the "Windjammer" cafe seemed to lack personnel to clean the tables and tidy up the Food stations, The food seemed to be the same day in and day out with no visible variations, Some dishes actually looked re warmed and dry such ...
1. My time dining means nothing, organised chaos, no times available between 7.30 and 8.45 on any night
2. Entertainment or should I say lack of. Some nights no shows at all. When shows were on, only once was there an early and late performance to suit all dining times.
3. No ironing facility (unlike P&O) and $5.00 dollar charge per item for the ship staff to do it, rip off.
4. Bar prices 50% ...
We have just returned from our 8th cruise - 2nd with RCL. We boarded Liberty of the Seas with relative ease at Barcelona. We had booked a suite and were looking forward to the extras that all the $ had purchased. Sadly these didn't really materialise. There was no welcome drink in the room, no fruit, no personalised messages as with other cruise lines. They're trivial things maybe, but after ...
We chose this as our first cruise because it ticked all the boxes for us.
1. It was in the Med. Not known for rough seas so hopefully no seasick problems.
2. It covered the period of our silver wedding anniversary.
3. The stops allowed me to do 2 things that are on my bucket list. (The Colosseum / Pompeii)
4. It was 7 days, so if we didn't like it by day 3 there wasn't too long to endure ...
The Good Stuff:
1.) It was so easy to board the ship. I think it took less than 15 minutes to check in and actually board the ship we got there at 11 and it was pretty empty.
2.) Our inside cabin was bigger than I expected. I was traveling with my toddler so we had to deal with the stroller and crib but it wasnt so bad.
3.) I was really happy with the quality of the MDR. I never felt the need ...
We (myself and my husband) have sailed with Royal Caribbean ships, mainly voyager class and freedom class 8 times. This was our ninth cruise and second on Liberty, The ship and cabin and public areas as always were lovely, clean and fresh. The staff in general were attentive and friendly, however there were noticeable differences and reductions in service as follows: -
1. Dining room was only ...
