Overall, it was a great experience! This was the Sailabration cruise, and while not everything they promised was granted, it was still a great time! The ship meet-up was such a wonderful experience! Glad that I got to be a part of carnival history! The crew went above and beyond, as they usually do! Will be back on the Liberty in December!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
It was a much easier time than before getting on the ship! The lines were super short. However, the wait once through the line seemed to take forever! I'm sure it actually wasn't that long, but the anticipation of getting on the ship made it seem like forever! Lol! All the employees were super friendly! We had one guy that led us through singing "Celebrate"! It was a great start to a wonderful trip!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Everything was good as usual! Had a burger at Guy's burgers. The fries were just...eh. Ate lunch at the Ol' fashioned BBQ restaurant twice. It was delicious! The main dining room was good. The shrimp was fabulous that I got two servings of it! The desserts were great as well!

Pizzeria

We ordered pepperoni pizza several times aboard. It was decent. However it was very greasy. But I have had worse.

Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We enjoyed playing trivia.
I was hoping for the craft activities again, but didn't see them on this sailing. Also didn't see the towel folding class. Would have loved to participate in that had they had it.
Flowers Lobby

A beautiful area to just sit and relax. Also a great place for the trivia.
Entertainment

The Playlist production crew was wonderful! We did not watch Flick but we did enjoy the rock show. They really gave it their all and looked as though they were having so much fun! It truly made it enjoyable! Alejandro at v the piano bar was a lot of fun also. He was very personable! Loved hearing him talk and sing! The violin trio was amazing. So much talent!

Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The layout was not the friendliest. The dining we had was on the third deck. We had to go down to the 5th deck, walk to the aft of the ship, then go down to the third deck. To us a few days to figure this out. There was a lot of walking those first couple of days! Not good for the one in our party that has a bad hip and recent knee replacement.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It was at the very front of the ship. Only had another room on one side of us. There was next to none when it came to foot traffic. However, pretty much EVERYTHING was at the other end of the ship so it was a long walk to go anywhere. The room was a normal balcony room.
Ship tip
The third floor does not go the whole length of the ship. Give the ol' fashioned BBQ restaurant in the 10th deck a try!
Such a beautiful area! We did the Garden of the Groves and shopping tour. It was a nice comfy bud ride with our very knowledgeable drive, Phillip Knowles. He gave a great history of Freeport along with some humor in the mix. Our guide at the Garden of the Groves was Marilyn. She was the best!!! Such a sweet soul! She really made it a wonderful experience!
It was extremely easy! Very little waiting. Nothing like it used to be! We were able to stay in our room (or wherever we wanted to be) until they called our muster to disembark. There was no congestion. Loved it!
