Ship experiences

The MDR was wonderful, Chops grill had a great lunch, the windjammer was always pack but food was top quality for buffet and last but not least the pizza was a great late night snack.

Johnny Rockets

4 out of 5

The venue was great could use a little more seating the food was OK it wasn’t great the hamburger seemed a little off but the cheese fries onion rings and dessert were wonderful.

Main Dining Room

5 out of 5

We had the best staff in the main dining room we had my time dining that we secured a reservation for the same table every night and we ate breakfast there many mornings instead of the buffet as it was a better choice for us.

Sorrento's Pizza

5 out of 5

The pizza was always excellent fast friendly staff always hot and the most you ever had to wait for pizza if they ran out was about five minutes.

Chop's Grille

RC Online

5 out of 5

We use the Wi-Fi on the ship and never had any issues it was always streaming quality speed their app could use a little more updating for the liberty of the seas ship but I believe that’s in process.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the ice skating show along with 2 of the main preface shows in the platinum theater. All shows were top quality, great seating due to key program.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

The 2 oldest enjoyed the teen program but the youngest who was separated from them was in the 8-11 room was not very happy and would rather not go.

Fuel Teen Club

5 out of 5

Our two teams love going there and spending time in the teen program we had lots of activities for them including a scavenger hunt that they enjoyed

The Living Room

5 out of 5

Our teams loved the living room for them to use part of the team experience they enjoyed it and mingled with quite a few other kids.

Challengers Arcade

5 out of 5

Plenty of video games for kids and adults all ages

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

All the wait staff was excellent, especially the MDR staff. The room stewards were adequate but seemed to skip from previous cruises.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was well laid out had plenty of activities and was always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The overall size and comfort features were of a normal balcony cabin I would suggest you ask the room steward to put some extra padding on the bed as they do seem a bit hard.

Ship tip

Purchased a key program it was a wonderful experience for the entire family and make things go so much smoother

The port is wonderful the shopping is great they have improved it over the years we did an excursion too Playa Mia I would suggest that one it was a good experience at a good price. The taxi cab service is wonderful everything is set ahead of time for price so there’s no worries.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5

This is a tender port like all of them there is issues but it was fairly smooth I believe there could be an increase in shopping here in the port area we did go on an excursion of the turtles and stingrays, unfortunately our tour guide took us to a deep area of the Sandbar that most were not able to stand up in the water which made it unfavorable.

Falmouth, Jamaica

5 out of 5

The port is very nice this is my first time in Falmouth originally I had been into Ocho Rios before the shopping is very nice the excursion we took was climbing Dunns River Falls along with a tour and lunch I would highly suggest it.
