4 day cruise to the Bahamas. Two ports. We stayed in a balcony room on the Lido deck.

Embarkation

Fast and easy. Customer service counter was very helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the food in the main dinning and specialty restaurants, the morning buffet was not great. Was not the worst I’ve had but could have been better. Next time we will eat breakfast in the MDR. The service was always outstanding no matter where we where on the ship.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We didn’t even try to get in the pool or hot tubs. They were always full. The deck parties were fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We went to two live shows, enjoyed them both. Loved the late night stand up. Another favorite was the piano bar. So much fun. A surprise to us was how much we enjoyed the talent playing sets around the ship, the singer in the casino bar was good. Our favorite on the ship was the violin trio Kudo Strings that played in the lobby. They are a must see.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service on the ship was excellent. The staff went above and beyond the entire trip.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I heard people refer to the Liberty’s design as dated but we really enjoyed it. The ship was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved our balcony cabin on the lido deck.

Ship tip

If you plan to get off the ship, consider booking an excursion. Pack lite but bring a jacket or sweater for night. The ship is a lot of fun. There is something for everyone, your cruise is what you make of it.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
We enjoyed the straw market and found a seat overlooking the water to enjoy a drink. The port is very clean but there is not much else there. If we return we will book an excursion or just stay on the ship.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Being our first cruise, we didn’t book any excursions and decided to just check things out. We walked to the free beach. It was just okay. If we go back we’ll definitely book an excursion.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
We love this port. The restaurants and live entertainment were both a lot of fun. Can’t wait to go back.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
This was our first cruise so we can’t compare it, but Once they called our number we were off the ship pretty quick. No problems.

Do you know if kids are allowed in the piano bar at least early in the evening?
