Liberty of the Seas

9 Night Canada & New England (Cape Liberty Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 10, 2015

Ship: Liberty of the Seas

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Family (older children)

Review summary

The ship looked somewhat dated. Also, I would liked have a little more shopping, i.e. Coach outlet, etc. for the at-sea days.   Also, everything was too expensive.  An 18% tip doesn't seem that bad, but when it is charged for each person in the cabin it could be excessive.  I enjoyed the shows.  The tours were nothing more than a bus ride around town.  The driver said very little and if he pointed out any landmarks, it was always after we had traveled a bit and I never got to see them.

I don't want to dress for dinner when I'm on vacation. However, the other dining was exceptional.

I had hoped to upgrade my accommodations. said the best time to do that was when I boarded. Unfortunately, I was unable to upgrade then. The room was clean. We just had the staff change the bed once and kept the Do Not Disturb sign out because we did not need assistance.

Ship tip

Be prepared to board the ship and go immediately into a drill. We had not eaten since 6:00 a.m. and it was after 4:00 p.m. before we could get a drink or anything to eat.

There are all kinds of shore excursions.  The panoramic ones are just basically coach trips around the destination.  There are many others that are more active or include many stops.  You have to read carefully the descriptions before you book.  More active ones include horseback riding, snorkeling, or driving an off road vehicle.  The decision is yours.
