Review summary

This is our 3rd time on liberty... I was expecting better service. Dining in Golden Olympian almost ruined our trip (hostess was inexperienced, rude & unaccommodating), steward was not attentive..... I asked for towels.... He Never brought them. . . . Guest services (Luis) did not follow protocol for missing items in a lost piece of luggage in my party. On the last day of the cruise security was involved and a report was filed.... Where as on the first day he said there was nothing that he could do and sent us away. This was just not a good trip for us. And very sad because we usually travel 10-20 people. (Family cruise, ages 10yrs-70yr) this trip we were celebrating 4 birthdays and we're expecting fun. Not so much.

Main dining really failed us the one night we chose to sit and have service. Despite getting there extremely early we were split up to dine. The forced to wait hours for a table together. Host was rude. Waiter was Awesome!!! Food was served quickly.

Arcade only... Would like to see more kid/teen friendly activities. Otherwise they spend time running around the boat.

I too was the liberty last year for a four day trip to the Bahamas I normally take longer cruises on the bigger ships. Liberty is not at her best and does come with more of a party crowd. We made the best of it.

Short cruises on older ships usually don’t offer the best experience. It seems many of the crew are newer employees who are inexperienced and many of the fellow cruisers seem to be more of a party crowd than longer cruises.
