Review summary

Had a great time due to my class reunion and that was great. Most of the ships staff was great and the Cruise Director was really good. Frankie even gave my class a video shout out. The 80's music trivia was fun and fit in with our reunion theme.

Diamond Steak House was really good.

Guys was great.

The ship decor was a little old fashion. Grandmothers looking lamps all over the buffet area. I really was not feeling the look of the ship but that did not stop the fun we had. There were satellite issues that had the TV/WiFi out for a few hours but no biggie.

We will be back I'm sure.

I see a lot of references on this web site regarding "old ships". The Carnival Liberty was built in 2005. Do you really consider that old? Carnival Fantasy was built in 1990. That's getting up there in years. There is a cruise ship still sailing the seven seas called Marco Polo. Now, she's old; built in 1965, and still going strong. Cruise ships are not like cars, where you can trade them in for a new one every 3 years. The average life of a cruise ship, for the original owners, is about 25 years. Then, they are often sold off to a subsidiary for further deployment. Many former Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America and Royal Caribbean cruise ships are still sailing for other owners, under new names.
