Review summary

Our family of 20 this was our 1st time on this cruise with Royal Caribbean. From the adults and children with us the cruise was only okay. I wasted so much money paying on this which I would have been happier on Carnival. From the rooms being very old not well maintained and the shower had a piece of hair in it was so disgusting. I didn’t feel comfortable in my room at all. The whole 7 days was just okay. Dinner in the dining room was just okay

Liberty is one of my Wife’s favorite ships, only behind Jewel. We hope to fo another cruise on Liberty in the next year or two. That is why there are different cruise lines & classes of ships. The trick is to do your research ahead of booking to find the things that are important to you & book the right line & ship. Good luck in finding something more to your liking in the future 😎

I cruised on Liberty in April, my first cruise with RCCL and I thought it was fabulous. I’ve cruised with P&O and Carnival before, albeit not on their newest ships, but I much preferred Liberty. There was so much to do. Food was not outstanding, but it was perfectly acceptable and the service was wonderful. We all have different expectations and if jays to keep an open mind when reading some of these reviews.

A hair on the shower!! The horror!! Oh well, that’s why we have different brands, something for everyone. I hope your next cruise is more enjoyable.

Old and outdated? It was built in 2007 and refurbished in 2016. I’m not sure what you are used to, but it’s not 40 years old like you make it sound. There are a lot of things to go on the ship. It sounds like cruising is probably not for you.
