Review summary

Once we were aboard the Liberty, it took a lot of acclimation as far as how to go about things. WiFi and phone issues aside, the beds were comfy, the bathroom amenities pretty nice, and the balcony view well worth the price. The food was excellent, not disappointed in that area at all -- especially the steakhouse. Beverage package was pricey but still a good investment... drinks were not stingy in the least. Always good entertainment somewhere on the boat, something for everyone. Embarkation and debarkation is where Carnival drops the ball. If I heard "there should have been someone there to..." one more time, I would have been in attack mode. Not enough personnel to direct to the correct shuttle location, counter or stop. BOTH ways. Super frustrating. All of the staff on the Liberty work very hard and still manage to be pleasant to their guests. Don't think I would cruise on Carnival again despite all the plusses.

Ship tip

If tolerance of children traveling is not your strongpoint, do not fly into Orlando International Airport. Grueling.

The the drink package is a must? My brother and I are traveling together, and I prefer no huge bar tabs at the end of the trip. Longbeach to Ensenada.

From my experience getting off the boat is always a mess it's almost like they're just pushing and shoving everyone off and they don't even know so I feel you on that

Carnival drink package is cheap compared to NCL's $89 per day. That's why they offer it as a perk😉
