I enjoyed the cruise but would avoid summer months because of the heat and the young adults who were acting stupid.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Port Canaveral is very easy especially if you park at attached garage. You drop your bags on entrance to garage and then pay parking fee after going up ramp. The third level is our preferred entrance because my husband uses a wheelchair and the ramp takes you directly to check-in. We used VeriFLY and passports and it took less than 5 minutes.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food was generally excellent. It appears Guy’s Burgers fixed whatever was wrong at the restart and the fries and burger quality has improved. The Steakhouse was excellent as usual and we also had steakhouse selections in MDR and the filet mignon was the best I’ve ever had. The Pizza was NOT 24 hours which was very disappointing and buffets even closed earlier than I remember.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The pools were very crowded and there was absolutely no shade on deck. I tried to watch the afternoon movie but had to leave because of the heat and I live in Florida. The casino bar is no smoking and it has greatly improved the casino experience and smell.

Service and Staff

They work very hard and try to make your experience excellent.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
I liked the ship layout and it was easy to navigate. I found that the restrooms were not as clean as I am used to. I’m not sure if that is staffing or quality of work.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Aft facing extended balcony -The balcony room was same size as normal except as you walk in part of the closet is bumped out for some reason in this particular cabin making it extremely narrow getting into room. When the doors were all open when we got on I noticed that only 2 cabins had the bump out. The balcony is much larger and included 2 chairs, 2 tables and a full size lounger. You can see your neighbors on balcony and someone must have been throwing cigarettes off the back of boat because they ended up on our balcony.
Ship tip
Don’t miss the Sea Day Brunch. They have quite a few options that are not offered at any other meals.
I was very excited about Princess Cay and I was disappointed. I wore hard soled water shoes because I read previous reviews. They are definitely needed if you go in water. The water at the beach wasn’t as clear as it normally is in the Bahamas. I found it to be crowded even though the Liberty is a smaller ship. There were plenty of chairs available but they were on top of each other. Not all the lunch lines were open and it didn’t appear to go smoothly so I didn’t eat.
