Review summary

We had two new cruisers with us and they were very happy with their experience on the ship and now have caught the bug to cruise. The food and entertainment was good, the rooms were quiet and clean, and all 6 of us had a very pleasant vacation with Carnival. One highlight of the week was having a family member being asked to join in the Talent Review on the last night. It was fun for the whole family. We also enjoyed, and recommend, the Alchemy Bar on Deck 5 of the Liberty. Tijana and Julianna make awesome drinks with a flare that is so entertaining. The staff, no matter where on the ship, were very courteous and friendly.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
More spacious than an interior cabin. Duncan, our steward, was so efficient and friendly. Bed was comfortable and being able to adjust the cabin temperature was nice.

Ship tip

Go to the Alchemy Bar for out-of-the-ordinary drinks. If you're drinking by the pool, near the burger stand and Blue Iguana, be sure to find Agus and he'll treat you like a friend the entire cruise. The hot tubs in the Serenity area are much better (quieter and less crowded) than others on the ship.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Contact "Natural Wonders PR" to arrange for an out of the ordinary tour of the island.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

If you forgot to pack anything, you can walk to a K-Mart from the ship and they'll have what you need.

Bridgetown, Barbados

You'll have to decide if it's worth the time and money to join the VERY crowded beach at the airport to see the planes come in.

@sftballgrl we are too! Which sailing? Not Apr. 28? That would make it a very small world indeed! Lol!!

I believe you are correct lashtx. That has to be it. Least we know they enjoyed themselves. We are sailing on Liberty in a couple of Months. Can't wait!!!!!

My guess about 1star is that they're unfamiliar with online ratings and didn't really think about it (?) like my first app review on my phone. I didn't click any stars but gave a glowing review. Lol!

why 1 star? probably so we can all ask why 1 star. lol

This 1 star rating makes no sense. I was on this ship a few years ago in a suite and have been on 6 others and this was my favorite so far.

If they were happy with a 1, what would a 5 be? ☺

From the review it sounds 4 or 5 star to me ?    You can e-mail Simon and ask to have it changed (At the bottom of the page "contact Us").
