Review summary

Good value for the cost of the cruise. Although this was our second time on the Liberty of the Seas, the quality of the food was not up to past cruises. Hopefully the new Royal Caribbean terminal will alleviate embarkation and disembarkation issues.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Check in had long lines and Covid protocols even though necessary complicated the process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Quality of the food in the main dining room and Windjammer were definitely below what we experienced on past cruises. Chops Grille was a test of patience as it took almost 3 hours to complete meal. Giovanni’s was exceptional with service and quality.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Only used the Solarium pool and hot tub during Falmouth port as it was not crowded. All other times too crowded to enjoy.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Ice show was good but stage productions were average due to performers being out due to Covid or injury. Stage band was quite good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was overall very good from guest services, excursions and waiters. Our cabin steward Glenda was superbly exceptional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Condition of ship was very good despite age. The staff kept all areas clean and well-maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Upon arriving to our interior cabin 7703, we were disappointed to see it was smaller than expected plus the safe not work. We requested and paid for an upgrade to an oceanview cabin 3306 with the assistance of guest services which was perfect for us.

Ship tip

Be sure to research your cabin selection to meet your accommodations and get to the port early with the proper Covid results documented.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
Ate at the Shark Shack in Galveston and had the barbecued bacon shrimp which was scrumptious. Shopped at Murdoch’s on the beach which has everything.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Just went into town to do some shopping. Retailers were aggressive. No excursion.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Took a taxi to Coral Beach and rented beach chairs and umbrella. Nice accessible sandy beach which was not too crowded. Wife snorkeled but did not see many fish. Food and drinks available for purchase.

Falmouth, Jamaica Did not visit port

Stayed aboard ship at the Solarium pool.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Long wait and lines thru customs and to get on shuttle buses.

Glad you had fun. Was the upgraded cabin any larger or did it just have a window?
