Review summary

I truly enjoyed our dinning room server, Dickki........the water slides were really fun and the only three main shows were good except for when the Night Fever show was cut really short to a malfunction. The Buffet food was the worst I have ever experienced...........This was the third cruise on this cruise line and by far the worst, seemed the theme on the voyage was, we need to get you to the jewelry stores so you can spend all your money.......like leading the captured sheep to slaughter! I would have expected the destinations sweet spots to be the cruise lines main focus for the customers, not the Diamond International shops.

I will not be back on this particular cruise line......most likely Holland America, Princess, Norwegian or Viking

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The buffet was terrible, no imagination, desserts were dry, chocolate pudding? really? The dining room was good but not overly impressive, clam chowder was fishy tasting....on and on

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Where was the entertainment? There were three shows, the ice skating, the Platters and Saturday Night Fever, which was shut down due to some fluke during the performance....why was there not more entertainment? All of the previous cruises we have been on had many more shows for the time on the water.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Dickki was our server in the dining room, he was great, however the majority of the ship staff seemed unhappy, many other guests on the ship felt the same way......not sure why they were unhappy

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was fine, the pillows were terrible, very flat, like putting your head on a dime..........had neck aches in the morning.......other than that, it was fine.

Ship tip

Be prepared to be disappointed with the food and the overall negative attitude of the staff , something amiss, however the water slides were fun..........

Thank you for posting your review. It sounds like you expected a premium cruise experience. If that is the case, I suggest you look into Celebrity, Princess, or HAL. If you have really deep pockets, try one of the concierge lines (e.g., Regent Seven Seas, Crystal).

Sorry you had such a bad experience on the Liberty, hope the entertainment improves between now and September 2017 because the wife and I are boarding her, as far as the food that is a to each his own if you ask me , good luck on your next cruise.
