Review summary

On the upside: 

Cozumel and Roatan are nice destinations, the staff was friendly, and food in the main dining hall was good.

 

On the downside:

The Liberty of the Seas needs a refurbishment badly.  Parts of the ship were in disrepair - spas, benches in restaurants, etc. 

 

Beverages were understoacked as the boat was going into dry dock.

 

Food in the Windjammer was disgusting.

 

Belize tendering was a miserable experience.

 

Alcoholic beverages were significantly more expensive than the prior year.

 

Disembarking was a miserable disaster.

When you've "cruised" after dry dock on a Navy ship, you get a real appreciation for real cruise ships. It would take a lot to make me complain lol

We've cruised ships both right before and right after drydock and it is never a good idea! The staff is overloaded during these cruises with a ton of extra stuff to do!

My kid and I were aboard that ship two years ago. We are, unfortunately, some of the accidentally messiest, most inadvertently destructive people this planet has been cursed with housing. We don't MEAN to add to the wear and tear and cleaning costs of every ship we cruise aboard, we're just being us--clumsy slobs. Then when I think about all those other people who had to be on that ship after us...the horror...the horror. (At least we apologize after we break something.)

Before. I was on Liberty in November and didn't notice any problems. We had a fabulous time and loved the ship!

who knows whether the refurbish is before or after the cruise departing Galveston Feb. 7?
