Review summary

Very fun! Good shows and funny comedians (I didn't like the transgender jokes but otherwise very funny), amazing food, nice staff, and horrible elevators.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation wasn't too bad. The line was a little long even though we arrived early. Probably because it is such a big ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Buffet was amazing and so was dining room! I also ate at Jonny Rockets for lunch once, it was good also.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
They were fun but I didn't like the port day hours. I stay on the ship and I like to be able to do things while onboard.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were great but I wish there was more! The circus LA show was amazing, the ice show was great, and Saturday Night Fever was great. I wish they would add a 3rd show at 10:30 PM so I could watch them twice! I loved the comedians, they were hilarious. The only thing I didn't like about the comedians was the transgender jokes.

Children's Programs

I don't have kids.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
They were nice, but the staff on Carnival is slightly better in my opinion.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
A virus broke out onboard and Liberty Of The Seas staff did a good job of containing it. The part of the ship I hated was the elevators. I have had to wait up to 5 minutes for an elevator. New York's subway trains come more than that during rush hour!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was nice and comfortable! A little too hot though, I had max AC on and it hardly worked.

Ship tip

Take the stairs.

Liberty Of The Seas is a pretty good ship, I just wish they would stop closing the waterslides on port days, stop making transphobic jokes at comedy shows (I don’t get offended easily but transphobic jokes are really not cool), make it easier to find water (on Carnival and Disney it’s very easy to get water), and also I wish there was a way for people to ride solo on the raft attraction. Also, THE ELEVATORS ARE SO SLOW! Normally i’d take the stairs but the Liberty Of The Seas is a big ship. My dad and stepmom went on the Harmony Of The Seas in 2018 and apparently that ship had the same problem, so it isn’t just a Freedom Class issue, the Oasis Class has the same problem. I was definitely impressed by the food though. They had a good main dining room like Carnival and a good buffet like Disney. If I ever do another Royal Caribbean cruise it’ll probably either be an Oasis Class ship or the Navigator Of The Seas because I really wanna go on the Navigator’s water slides.
