Beware - If there is anything wrong with your cruise, resolve it on the boat. The Guest services people will look down their noses at you and tell you corporate needs to address your issue. Corporate DOESN'T care! we have also heard of this strategy by Royal used with other friends. We booked two rooms on the Liberty of the Sea ship for a family vacation with specific configurations. Nothing fancy - king bed and a pullout couch/bed. Neither room was correct. The customer service people at corporate told us that our requests were "based on availability". So my wife and I spent three nights co-sleeping with our three year old. Next our youngest (1 year) got sick the day before the cruise so she stayed home with the in-laws. They automatically refunded the taxes and fees but kept the $18 per day "gratuity fee" or anything else. They suggested we check with our credit card company to see if there was travelers insurance. Finally - and the best is for last - there was black mold in our lower shower rails. The ship was updated in 2016 but being in constant use, it feels worn out and a bit tired. With all of this, none of our complaints were in the "Guest Log" which is how the customer service people validate that there was a problem. SUPER convenient. With the exception of useless Guest Services, ALL of the staff were amazing. It was the one saving grace for the vacation and they made it tolerable. The food was ok with the exception of a steak on my first night (I literally had to spit it out). Our waiter was sincerely embarrassed and was willing buyer beware. Read all of the fine print. Don't just read the 5-star reviews read the one and two star reviews as well. Resolve any issues on the ship because once you leave, corporate customer service doesn't care about your issues or their screw ups at all.

If you have been on Oasis/Harmony class ships, Do NOT sail on this one. You will be disappointed. Great starter ship for first timers...if food isn't important. If it is, book reservations!

Book all of your excursions and other things (spa appts, beverage packages) before you travel.

We have cancelled our next cruise with RC because of the food alone - again they offer "free dining" but it is awful - again you have to wonder if they just want you to again upgrade to their premium dining which is very costly. The free pizza was ok - but you do get tired of pizza. The only decent meal was Johnny Rockets and we had to pay for that. Also the only snacks available on the ship were in the general store and consisted of some skittles, pringles and mainly alcohol.. So take lots of snack and your own soft drinks.

Enjoy as much activities as possible. Plan ahead for another cruise. Coco Cay was more fun than the Bahamas!

Great getaway ship...do not expect many dining options as of new ships as well as many entertainment options. But good cruise to the Bahamas.

Sadly, my advice would be to check for bedbugs immediately upon entering your cabin & before unpacking.
