Review summary

Will we sail Royal Caribbean? maybe Will we sail on this ship again? Maybe, but why? There is so much competition to choose from. Will we sail from this port again? Maybe, but I rather pay a little more for a better experience.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Out of the 4 ports we have embarked from, this was the worst. NYC was fast and easy, FLL and Miami were 2nd and 3rd. Galveston was the worst.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good to very good, but fell a little short. I expected a little more out of RC. Paying more for specialtiy resuraants was disapointing. Chops and Giovanni's : Chops menu was lack luster and Giovanni's was unmemorable in both food and service.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

3 out of 5
As it is posted on many sites, other cruise lines do it better. This was like a 2.5 out of 5. Not much at all to do if there are no shows going on. Such as piano bars, Jazz clubs, etc.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward was probably our best out of the 8 cruises we have been on. Waiters and others were probably a notch over NCL but fell short of Princess.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Liberty of the sea's is a beautiful ship, but those elevators are nice to look at, but not engineered well. We almost always had to wait long times for a lift.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin was very nice and clean. The deck is great. Large and very private. No one can see anything from any angle. The bathroom was a little bit small and the shower was the smallest we have ever had. We like the showers on the NCL Breakaway. Water pressure really was very low.

Ports of call

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Maya Key private island resort: Loved it and everything about it. We would do it again.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We did not find anything we liked with RC. So we went with Shore fox and had one of the best excursions ever. We did Blue Reef Beach Break and was created as soon as the taxi stopped and was guided inside to meet the owner and his crew. ALL top notch and willing to please. Food and drinks were great and the on beach massage were a great value.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Deluxe beach break and playa water park. We won't do this one again. Service was good, drinks were barely adequate. Over crowded after a short time. Food wasn't good at all. We'll pass next time.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
This was the absulute worst. It took almost 3 hours of crawling in line with all our luggage. Crying babies, bitching old people, rude people cutting. They say it generally wasn't like this and they didn't know the reason, but why? What was the cause for this. Is anyone looking into it?? Just plain pathetic.
