Review summary

Liberty of the Seas has gained a permanent place in my heart. I am so happy and wish I lived on a cruise. There was so much to do and so little time. I needed an extra week to experience everything else I couldn’t get to. But of course I had to book another adventure!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

This was mine and my husbands first time ever going on a cruise. The embarkation process was a fantastic first experience. Even though our ship got held up a couple of hours we made the most out of it! 😊

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We had dinner in the main dining room the first night of our cruise and it was really nice. The buffet had many selections to chose from and they were all great as well. We aren’t big drinkers so we really only had the mimosas and frozen margaritas which were extremely delicious! 🙂

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There were so many things to do while on board the ship. Sometimes it was so hard to chose from. I would suggest to plan a head once you receive your cruise compass the night before and highlight all the things you can make it to! 😊

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room attendant Karen was the sweetest. You also cannot forget about the entertainment staff. They are extremely amazing! They know how to show everyone a great time!

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had an interior room and of course it was really small but it was enough for us to enjoy our time. You don’t really spend a lot of time in your room anyway.

Ship tip

Try to make it to all the shows a tad bit early because they get full. Also the buffet gets super busy too so be sure to go right when they start serving or before they are about to close.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We booked a 7 day cruise for our first cruise ever and sadly it just wasn’t enough. We were so sad to leave but we definitely had to book a new cruise! If you guys want to see everything we did you can check us out on YouTube at https://youtu.be/a57hMcEs_To 😊

Just let it be known. We lived at Sorrentos Pizza. Lol

Sunsets on a cruise are just different but in the best way!

We did this same Liberty OTS itinerary for our first cruise and felt exactly the same way! So glad you had an amazing experience, too, and hope yout get to have many more!

Welcome to the world of cruising. May I suggest next time, you book a balcony cabin. Pay a little extra and enjoy the experience way more. And if you ever get quarantined, at least you can go out on the balcony. Fresh air is vital.
