Review summary

Liberty of the Seas was a beautiful ship, well maintained and clean. Dining was lacking unless you want to visit a specialty restaurant and pay the extra fees. There are hidden gems on the ship including Johnny Rockets on deck 12. A big disappointment was the entertainment, make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes early for a show or you will not get to see the show. I was surprised to see beverage stations set up only on deck 5. If you're at the pool for the day, you must get dressed to go for a hike to get a drink unless you want alcohol from the bar. Lots of activities for children. Will sail again soon with daughter to take advantage of children services onboard. All ports were beautiful as usual.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was quick and painless. From the car to the ship was about a 30 minute process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food onboard was lacking. Unless you eat at a specialty restaurant, don't expect anything special. The service was lacking as well. There was not a single meal that we received a refill on our drinks without asking.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Poor entertainment onboard. The adult comedy was great. Saturday night fever was the equivalent to a high school production. Liberty of the seas is a huge ship and there would be no reason to not add additional entertainment.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Our room steward was the best we'd ever had on any cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was amazing. Not too small, bigger than usual balcony and our cabin was well maintained and always cleaned by our steward at least twice a day.
