5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Windjammer did not offer a lot of variety. Desserts were pedestrian. Service was good. Main dining room was a little better. Server got off to a rough start, but finished strong.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
One pool was heated, one not, kinda weird. Kids enjoyed flowrider, rock climbing. Could only do ice skating once so that was disappointing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
all were excellent!

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
Teen section was boring, mostly geared towards boys, video games, not a lot of variety

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship was clean, but needs updating. Weird smell on our deck, like a backed up toilet

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The kids bunk over our bed was weird. We had been on a RC cruise before and room was not laid out like that. Room was hot, bed uncomfortable. Shower leaked all over bathroom floor. Visible mold/mildew inside shower

Ship tip

Don't sail on this ship until it has been refurbished which we heard is 2-3 years from now.

I sailed on Liberty of the seas in June. Had a fantastic time. Food was great. The ship is in good condition considering her age. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Sorry that it not being updated impacted your cruise and that you recommend others not cruise on it until it’s updated. Did you contact your room steward to have maintenance get the shower and air conditioning issues fixed? We cruised for the second time on Liberty in July and found that it was very clean and being a bit outdated in the decor didn’t impact our cruise. Hope that your next cruise vacation meets your expectations.
