Review: 7-Night Western Cruise on Liberty of the Seas (with 150+ Pictures!)

Following along. We will be doing the same sailing in May! We've never been to the Western Caribbean (always do Southern from San Juan) and we've never been on a Freedom class ship! So this will be a new cruise all around for us even though we are Diamond members. Thanks for the info and the pictures!

We are on Liberty with you on 5/20. We went last year the same week and the pool area can get crowded but that’s about it. Also noticed your name Texas Tennis. Do you play? My whole family plays. My team won USTA 18+ Nationals this last year.

Thanks for your response, and glad to know that you’ll be on the ship! Yes, I play tennis and was coach of the girls varsity tennis team when I was a teacher. Now I just play league tennis whenever my schedule permits. Congratulations on the national win last year!

Thanks! For the most part, no. There were a handful of expected crowds. Few examples:

 

 

• Windjammer (especially when we boarded on day 1 - literally, it was standing room only to eat your food)
  
• Sporadic times in the Royal Promenade, especially when there's a jewelry sale and tables are set up in the aisles
  
• As mentioned before, pool areas on sea days
  

But for the most part, it never felt "overcrowded" on the ship at all.

Fantastic! This information is very helpful and thanks.

Great review! We'll be on her Jan 2019 in a GS as well. Love all your pictures!!

Hi, question for the OP - did you get a VOOM or talk to anyone who was using one, and if so, how was the Internet connectivity?

ranran - we had voom back in the fall and no problems. we didn't do streaming though - just email.

Come back OP - finish up! I hate when real life interrupts a good review. ;)

I know, I know - I'm slacking! I need another vacation already :o TONIGHT, more to come - PROMISE!

LOL, no worries UMDelt. Playing catch up is no fun!

Liberty of the Seas Review - Continued

After our snuba excursion, we roamed around the area near the ship and grabbed a bite to eat. During our meal, we made quite a few wildlife friends.

We named him Ted… Ted, say hi to everyone

Lots of iguanas on the island

We were encouraged by the restaurant to throw our food to the wildlife…

Overall, it was a fantastic day. In fact, Grand Cayman was our favorite port of call. Like most good things, they must come to an end though. BUT, the day wasn’t over. DW had a birthday meal planned for me.

Returning back to our (temporary) home

Birthday dinner at Chops

Liberty of the Seas Review - Continued

My better half made sure we’d have a nice, quiet evening at Chops Grille for my birthday.

…just kidding.

Surprise! Who could have seen this coming…

I knew they’d sing for my birthday :D

Birthday (cheese)cake

Aside from birthday (cheese)cake, we ordered this chocolate fruit thingy… If you’re eating at Chops, ORDER THIS. JUST DO IT. Trust me, it’ll change your life (and your weight, but that’s why there’s a gym onboard).

Chocolate thingy… SO GOOD

Here she is… The myth… The legend… “Jamaica Mama”

Margaret, a.k.a. “Jamaica Mama”

I wrote earlier in this thread about our Chops Grille experience, including pictures. Head on over to post #45 to check out some awesome steak pictures and me in my tuxedo.

A big shoutout to my DW for making this an amazing birthday dinner :*

COMING UP NEXT:

Next port of call, Jamaica

Great review. Loved seeing LOS pictures.

Loved the review. Sailing on the Liberty in September. So looking forward to it. Even more so after seeing your pictures.

Oh no, I came back to check in!

I hope everything is ok. He never finished his review.

I was hoping he would come back and finish. It was a good start and I was looking forward to seeing more.
