Overall a very good three day cruise to relax over the weekend. The Carnival team did another awesome job and the Bimini port was good just not the best.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was extremely seamless. We decided to park at Port Canaveral Parking on Merritt Island which was across the bridge from the cruise port. The fees were much lower than actually parking at the terminal and the lot has security via cameras and staff.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Drinks were the best as usual. We decided this trip that we would not get the Cheers package and instead add Cruise Cash to our room before departure. All in we were not stressed to drink our 15 drinks per day and only get drinks as we had the urge. The Cruise Cash works in the casino, bars, shops, and room service. For the three days we ended up only having to charge $26 to our credit card which is required when you do your checkin. We also found it better and more cost efficient to order drinks by the pitcher. Like margaritas and rum specials. The price point is cheaper than individual drinks. The food was amazing as always. We predominantly ate our meals from the buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was in the dining room. Every meal was better than expected and delightful.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Activities aboard were as the usual items that exist with Carnival. Trivia, shows, karaoke, casino, comedy, and music venues were all well organized and fun. The picture is the main theater ceiling centerpiece. It was very interesting. The Liberty is designed after and for multiple artisans of different types. The ship was decorated with a metal type scroll and various colored lights that reflect off the metal. It was definitely interesting to say the least but not distasteful.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The shows in the main theater and the comedy selections were really good. Both events pulled a packed house and the staff did an awesome job at handling many people and activities to keep people comfortable and interested.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The entire team onboard the Liberty did an outstanding job at keeping all guest satisfied and pleased. The bar staff and wait staff were busy but not unfriendly. They had a lot going on and the food and drinks were always the best.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Liberty was very clean and always had people cleaning and wiping sections down. The ship has a different design / decor than other smaller Carnival ships. The decor was not distasteful or gaudily decorated. It was designed I believe to pay tribute to various artists throughout the last century and provide some semblance of a long ago era.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was always cleaned and tidy. Buchari did an awesome job and very well seasoned. He knew some great tips for Bimini and other ideas for day at sea.
Ship tip
Don’t fret about what to do onboard. There is so much going on that you will not get bored or ignored. The staff was great and the food was awesome.
When leaving, the Port Canaveral staff did a great job at getting everyone through customs and to their cars. The Liberty disembarks by calling muster stations is order. From the time the Liberty staff called our muster station to the time we were on the bus to our car was 23 minutes. Very well organized, professional, and as point of reference travel with your passport instead of birth certificate. The passport line goes much faster and we did not have to wait. That was nice.
