Review summary
I had read so many negative reviews about Galveston, embarkation, cleanliness, food, hard selling etc....that I was a bit tentative. Still, I know that human nature is to complain first, then praise. A cruise, vacation, life is what you make of it. This was number 25 for me and number 8 for my daughter.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn on the Beach the night prior and post. Good location, very good complimentary shuttle service to and from the port. We arrived at the ship around 11:30 am. My Elite status with Celebrity gave me Diamond status on Royal. A little confusion with porters and luggage drop off, but then we quickly moved through the process and were onboard by noon.
Our guarantee inside cabin turned out to be a Promenade Family Inside as large as a small suite. Totally grateful for our good fortune.
We tried Chops, Main Dining, Windjammer and Room Service for dinner. All with their merits. Windjammer was shockingly good in the evening. We had lunch and breakfast mostly in Windjammer, then once in the Main Dining Room. Food is subjective. Nothing exceptional, nothing bad.
We took advantage of the Diamond Lounge for evening cocktails.
The shows we attended were good.
In port, we struck out on our own. Beach days each day.
All in all, we had a great time. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Liberty.
Bon Voyage

Ship tip
Fly in the day before and stay close to the port. There were stressed out people on our shuttle trying to make the cruise same day. Our normally hour and fifteen minute ride turned into three hours with traffic and road closures.
