Big ship. Fine for families with children and teens. Not so much for mature adults.

Review summary

We are mature adults who have been cruising for 40 years. Our ideal cruise is excellent ship service, cleanliness and cabin choice in order to relax on our cabin balcony, enjoy main dining room meals with excellent service and menu choice, accompanied by top live entertainment and beverage choices throughout the ship, and cabin TV news and ship programing. Itinerary doesn't matter so long as the ship doesn't tender in ports. Liberty of the Seas delivers well on all these wants, but for older cruisers such as ourselves, young folk with high energy is a distraction. Easy and swift Port embarkation and debarkation is a must for us. Unfortunately Galveston needs some help in providing this want.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Onboard Activities

We don't use. We cruise to relax and enjoy the fresh air and gentle rock of the ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Absolutely wonderful, especially the ice show.

Children's Programs

Doesn't apply for us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our cabin steward and main dining room service people were exceptional.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

We had to stand in line at every meal and showtime. Not necessary because there was more than enough room in the dining rooms and theaters to open up the venue 15 min. early.

Cabin / Stateroom

Very good. Plenty of closet space, comfortable beds and excellent steward service. Room Service needs improvement or don't offer it.

Ship tip

Expect delays in Galveston if the weather is less than perfect, so choose an airline who will work with you if ship is delayed by fog during winter months.

I understand that but without selecting a ship that you've been on previously how can you make comments about it. The name of the ship or port autopopulates when is selected.

Just joined ship mate. Not sure how I or anyone could add all the cruises I have been on? There are 33 of them!

How can someone that doesn't have any cruises listed post comments about a ship or a port? Would love to hear an explanation from the administrator about this.
