Review summary

Liberty is older but clean and a great crew. The movies on this particular cruise were not to our liking but to each their own.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Service was excellent. Food was not the best we've had on a Carnival ship, but still good.

RedFrog Rum Bar

4 out of 5

This bar was always busy but for good reason. ALL of the rum drinks are tasty.

Alchemy Bar

5 out of 5

Takes a little while to get your drink but they are the best on the ship. Always heard people rave about the bar but never wanted to wait. Do yourself a favor and wait!

Pool Bar

3 out of 5

This bar was the only one where the bartenders seemed unhappy. I saw one bartender nearly refuse a woman a straw because she didn't have a frozen drink. Maybe they were just touchy because they didn't have enough help.

BlueIguana Cantina

5 out of 5

Always good and always seems new since I never remember how I made the food the last time with all the fixin's and sauces.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Mostly enjoyed the pools and spas. It was nice to see the rear pool was 18+ only, which the crew did uphold. We saw them ask minors to use the main pool on several occasions. Also, this was the warmest water in the pools we've seen.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Only went to the early comedy show and it was funny and enjoyable.

Children's Programs

No children

Jon Jon in the MDR was excellent.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
This is what we were worried about after some previous reviews about being old and sewage smell. Although we only ventured below deck5 to go ashore in Bimini, we never smelled any sewage anywhere on the ship. Yes, the ship is showing signs of wear due to it's age, but it is clean and kept well. If you want a supership, go on MG or Celebration. If you want a great crew, clean ship that doesn't feel overcrowded even at full capacity, this is for you. This cruise was full and the only times it felt it was at the buffets and some bars.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good size room for two people. Would not attempt a third or fourth person. Balcony a little crowded even with two people but manageable for a 3 night cruise.

Ship tip

The Remedy @ Alchemy Bar the best!

Ports of call

Bimini, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Bimini was nice but would not do the Resorts World again. It is a beautiful beach but everything is so overpriced. Next time we would rent a golf cart and explore on our own or take a different excursion. Fisherman's Village is not a traditional port store location and t-shirts were $35-$50.
