Review summary

The ship is large and fun to explore! The food is excellent and we never went hungry and I still lost 5 pounds. Make sure to hit a hot tub they are relaxing. The activities were totally worth it! The service was excellent!!! The cabin was well maintained. If u get a special at the spa take it!!! Worth all the time there, so refreshing! Drink lots of water, easy to dehydrate! Make sure to set an alarm for activities because u need to if u have an inside cabin, I could have slept all day!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We checked our bags in with help from a guy with a cart, we had to put tags on our bags and say goodbye to them. The guy was very nice and we tipped him. We received a beautiful orchid lei and guided to the counter. There was confusion who was helping us but it was relatively easy to check in. We took pix with some cuties and then headed on board. The ship is big and it is good to get familiar with it as soon as possible. Our bags didn’t come for hours so it is good to have everything u need in a back pack that stays with u.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The buffets are super wonderful and do not miss the rainbow papaya! The dinning is the Liberty was excellent every day!!! It is best to hit a buffet if u are in a hurry to eat or get to shore excisions and activities unless u are up early! Every meal we had was tasty and there are so many options. I was never hungry.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Make sure to take the LEI making classes! It’s worth every minute! Also the hula classes were fun! If u need shore activity advice go to an informational talk, they were wonderful! Don’t miss looking at the art Gallery and all over the ship. It is fun to explore and find different views to take pictures.

Ship Quality

The ship was always clean. The layout was good, always a map to look at. Our cabin was kept in beautiful condition. The public areas were very well maintained. Of course it helps to have people not leave a mess and be polite to other travelers too.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was hard to leave such a nice trip and go home but we enjoyed almost every minute. Leaving the shop isn’t hard but listen to instructions they are very important! Leaving your luggage outside the room made me nervous but it’s what u have to do so they pick them up and take off then u pick up when u get off ship.
