Review summary
This was our first cruise so we didn't know what to expect. We heard about people who really love cruises and then about people who really hate them so we went in with an open mind. The Liberty is a great ship and has a bunch of fun things to do for everyone. The kids had fun from the moment we stepped on board and us adults had a blast as well just relaxing. There is a casino and clubs and all that but we didn't do those types of things and just stuck together as a family most of the trip. Really the only disappointing part was that after booking excursions through United, both were cancelled. One was cancelled about an hour after I booked so I was able to book something else through Carnival, but the other was cancelled and we were never notified and showed up to be let down. Quite a bummer. If you are thinking of excursions Carnival makes it really convenient if you haven't been on a cruise before and you will not get lost or left behind. The Bahamas (at least Nassau and Freeport) are super easy to navigate and so taking a taxi is not hard at all and getting to a beach or other destination is easy (this is what we had to do since out United booked excursion was cancelled). Yes the ship is dated but you really only notice it in the cabin bathrooms.

Ship tip
Enjoy it! We barely scratched the surface on what was available on board but that was just because we wanted to unwind and not do much. So enjoy it all or just relax and enjoy not doing anything, you can do whatever you want
