Staff was great but, other cruisers on the ship were a different class of people and not in the good way

Review summary

This is a party boat. If you are young or just like to party hard this one is for you! Just watch where you are walking because you may slip on food that has not been picked up.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was very good!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Water slide was nice, pools were very small and children are allowed in the Jacuzzi's which shouldn't be allowed.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Piano Bar was excellent, karaoke was a bad experience- was told songs in book are not always available and came back the following night and asked another person running the program and guess what? They did indeed have the song.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Everyone was extremely nice. My biggest complaint is there was food and empty drinks left all over the place- not just in food areas and clean up was extremely slow. Saw many ship personal walk past food on the floor, food by the pool and it was ignored.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

In the morning when I got up everything was clean but, through out the day the ship became very dirty because there was no garbage cans so food was left everywhere including pool areas and clean up was very slow. Also, between the piano bar and the martini bar it always smelled like vomit.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Awesome cabin and awesome guy who took care of the room. He always remembered my name and greeted me every time he saw me. The sheets and pillows were awesome- bed could have been a little more comfortable but all in all it was awesome.

Ship tip

It's a short trip so plan out what you want to do/eat so you are able to try and do it all. Also, if you are traveling with others pay the $5 so you can communicate with them on the boat via your cell phone.

We rented motor scooters/atv's- fun until we realized the atv we were on had no brakes. The company we rented from did give compensate us with a free rental of a ATV/Scooter the next time we go there.

yes.. the great thing about cruising is you can always find ways to enjoy yourself if you look for it... Even a crowded ship, I can always find little out of the way places for peace and quiet if thats what I want at the time. I also enjoy the night time movies at sea!!

@martinmanorsurplus... based on the research I've done, I think you're absolutely right! I definitely will compare the differences on my upcoming 4 day compared to the 7 days I've taken the last few yrs... should be interesting... glad I'm determined to have a good time regardless though!

YES... 3 day cruises are always full of partiers, kids, and typically the ship isnt maintained as well... or the crew is just too overwhelmed. I wont cruise short cruises again. Even 4 day cruises can be that way at the wrong time of the year

Oh that makes a lot of sense! I can see how the short cruises would be a bit more party-oriented.

threeltbirds...I think the length of cruise has a lot to with it as well. This will be my 1st shorter cruise & I see when U were on, it was a 7 day...my opinion is the shorter cruises are usually 1st time cruisers & when U only have 3 or 4 days, U gotta get it in! Lol...tje 7 day or longer usually have more families & not really a rush to party so much (unless its just that kind of ship)...tjisnis my opinion based on my experiences...but either way, I am ready!!!!

Interesting, I didn't have that experience on the liberty at all! I wonder if it differs by itinerary and time of year. It was pretty subdued when I was on it.
