Helpful VotesMy husband and I have always loved to travel. He retired 6 years ago, and we have tried to cruise as often as we possibly can. Love to see new places and meet new people.

Great trip on our time with Carnival
We had a great time on this cruise. Have been on ships with larger state rooms (we had a balcony suite on deck 8, mid ship-8335), better food choices, more activities, bigger shopping mall, but this had to be the friendlies crew and most fun cruisers for any cruise we have ever taken (and we've been on several). Will certainly cruise with Carnival again! We plan to check out the Magic and other Carnival ships on our next vacations. The excursions we booked were great as well.
Cruise tips
They will tell you there is NO SHOPPING in Progresso, but that's not true. If you don't have enough time to shop in Cozumel, plenty of port shopping in Progresso!
Stay a few days and explore the Strand district and troll down Seawall Blvd. Very relaxing, but you will have NO DESIRE to swim in the gulf waters after seeing that beautiful blue seas in the Western Caribbean!
Take plenty of cash to have pics made with the many people who are dressed in the shopping areas and don't forget to 'haggle' for a better price on everything. They expect it!! Anyone who pays full price is getting gouged.
Carnival Liberty
Take SEVERAL extension cords and multi plug adapters, and if you don't have a heavy duty cord in your stateroom, call for one. you need smaller extension cords to plug to the big one and some duct tape to tape them to the floor so you don't trip! There is only ONE plug in the state room.
