Review summary

I definitely will not cruise on the Liberty ship again. I felt like it was more about getting you drun, might try one more of Carnival ship but if I experience the same as this cruise will begin cruising with another line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Compared to my prior experiences in cruises this was not great. Food was limited, there was more Hamburgers offered and pizza then anything else. If you like tacos or burritos after 2:30 you were out of luck. Not to mention that if you did not eat any dinner before 9:30 then pizza was your only option and the lines were ridiculous. Drinks let me say there was no good selection especially for lunch if you did not purchase the daily over priced drink package your only selections was lemonade, ice tea, and water. Breakfast was Orange, and orange passion, at least coffee was available all hours.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We didn't do many they were not so exciting, I guess the whole ship theme was 70's and 80's.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The performers were mostly singing and sitting. I remember these shows being wow and full of energy. Not the greatest, disappointed.

Children's Programs

I think this was the only good thing happening my 16 year old enjoyed it and Juan/JJ was great with them.

Limited time for the food did not open until about 11ish until 2:30, Not to mention if you were on the other side of the beach you had a very long walk because they did not open the stations on that side. Not to mention they had chairs with covering and we saw how some people did not pay and sat there. Never asked to show receipt or asked to leave. While others that did pay were asked to show proof. Very disorganized and disappointing overall.

Don’t know if your expectations can be met on any line.

Bottomless bubbles, the soft drink package is roughly $10 per day. A large soda at any drive through is about $3 these days, for 1, so I fail to see how the bubbles package is too expensive. Best to keep expectation realistic. We aren’t cruising in the 1900’s..

Appreciate your feedback. The drinks options are the same as always. The food isn’t same as before Covid. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.
