Liberty Of the Seas 4/21/14 Review with Pictures

Hello CC – It’s Ken and Paulette. We are late 30’s early 40’s Diamond Plus cruisers from NYC. We had originally booked a 5 day on Explorer, but decided rough Atlantic Ocean seas and cold water in Bermuda didn’t sound like fun, so we transferred the booking to LOS. Before this sailing Liberty was our favorite ship.

Sailing Itinerary

We took the 9:00 am Jetblue out of JFK. There was a HUGE TSA line but we expected it so we arrived at the 7:30am.

The flight was uneventful minus the typical screaming baby. Surprisingly, our luggage was waiting on the belt for us. We grabbed a $15 taxi and headed to the port.

1st sighting

Terminal 25 had 2 lines - 1 long regular line and 1 short Pinnacle / Suites line. We jumped on the short line. 10 mins later including the radiance class background picture and we were on board.

We had hump owners suite 1348.

Forgot to take a pic of the couch area - DUH

We had a new TV and a new map channel

looks great. Hopefully one day I can travel like that :)

We also had 2 loungers

They were cleaning the windows above us so we had a pool and waterfall :-)

We hit the windjammer - No honey strung chicken - SCREAM!!!!! :-)

Then the muster drill and headed for the bow for sail away.

Good bye Pilot, Good bye Port Everglades

About 25 mins out of the harbor, we bumped into an old friend - Hello Majesty!!!!!

After sail away we grabbed a couple of drinks with LIME and went to check out the flowrider. We felt sorry for the young girl that lost her bathing suit bottoms and cried.

We then headed to RCCL Online to sign up for an internet package. No need to swipe your card in the internet cafe anymore. You can sign up from your cabin.

We checked in with Carlos the concierge to verify our Labadee cabana and headed to the Diamond Lounge to say hello to Oana, the Diamond Concierge. We were very surprised to see Gustavo Butcher was the concierge because Oana was on vacation. We had Mr Butcher on Splendour last year. He is from Panama and we have just returned from Paulette's family reunion in Panama so we spent time catching up. We then headed to the Welcome Aboard Show hosted by our cruise director Rich.

Sorrentos pizza run then off to bed...

Great review, great photo's. Waiting for more. Thanks so much.

Awesome pics and review so far....we loved the Liberty and last week we sailed on her sister ship Independence and loved her just as much!!!

Love the photos, and certainly looking forward to reading more, we are looking at the Liberty for a family getaway in January.

We were just down the hall from you in a GS. I have to admit to peeking into your suite while it was being cleaned as I was walking by - nice digs!

Great pics! Makes me want to be back onboard!

Before this sailing Liberty was our favorite ship.

Uh Oh! I'm curious as to what happened for you to say before this sailing.

I love the Liberty, going on her a 3rd time in November.

We enjoyed a very relaxing day at sea

That evening we had a great time in the Diamond Lounge and enjoyed formal night dinner in Chops.

Beautiful thanks for the gorgeous pics while I'm bored at work :)

Good morning Labadee. We woke up as we were approaching the dock.

This is the text we received when we turned on our cell phones

We took the golf cart over to Barefoot Beach

We had over the water cabana W5

After swimming, hanging out in the cabana and enjoying the enhanced lunch, I decided to walk around and take some pictures.

New sea walls on Adrenaline Beach

Nellie Beach cabanas

Sadly heading back to the ship

Good bye Labadee - Thanks for another great stay

We woke up sailing into Falmouth

Phone rates in Falmouth

We always enjoy local foods on our cruises. We walked 2 blocks out of the port gates to Nazz for breakfast. We felt very safe and only encounted pleasant non aggressive vendors.

From there we walked back to the port and grabbed a $20 pp round trip shared van to Doctor's Cave Beach

Great review so far thanks for sharing

love your reivew!

The lifeguard also sells $3 Red Stripe beers.

The jerk pork was amazing

We were really shocked when we saw alot of cruisers leave their towels on the beach. Sorry guys but after seeing this, I think RCCL should go back to the towel sign out policy.

Thank you for the review! I was also on this sailing.

As far as the towel policy goes, I will agree with you 100%. There were several times that they were out of towels and I had to wait hours to get one -- seems many people do not return the towels properly.

Our driver was waiting for us on schedule and we proceeded back to the port. (25 min ride)

i love being up on deck when the ships dock in Jamaica. The water is so beautiful! do you know what night they do The Quest? Enjoy your cruise!
