Carnival Liberty Eastern Route Review 9/18-9/25 with Pics, Videos, and Capers!

[IslandToIsland]

Marcus decided he wanted to do the Flowrider, but the only session open was the body boarding.

 

Here are a couple of videos of that.

 

 

More pics of the pool area.

 

 

 

After a while Marcus and I decided to take a walk down the beach and see if we could do some snorkeling.

 

Beach area.

This is Jack's Shack which is ocated all the way down to the left of the beach.

 

 

Here are a few snorkel pics.

After snorkeling, we went back to the cabana and ate and then spent the rest of the time in the pool.

 

Here are a few more pics of the pool area as it was clearing out.

As we were leaving the cruise terminal area.

 

 

 

We had a great day here and was probably on top of the list as everyone's favorite stop.

This is a video I took of Grand Turk once we got back on the ship.

Grand Turk was also the 2nd elegant night. After dinner we made our usual trip to the casino. Had a couple of small wins and broke about even one night. I love the penny slots due to the bonus games. Just seems like your money lasts a little longer..lol

 

Day 6 Sea Day

 

We slept in late today, ordered room service and then to play bingo. After bingo we went to the photo area and checked out the pics and bought a few. No sun today as I had enough for the week. I do not tan, I burn and I had a little burn since the first day. This day went by fairly quickly and later on after dinner we went to play the final game of bingo. It was the cover all and someone one $1000. This was also where they did the win a cruise drawing. We got knocked out of it just by the color of our tickets. After bingo we stayed for the Legends show and it was good. A few funny ones and a couple were really good.

 

Day 7 Debarkation

 

We decided to do self assist, but ended up staying on the ship as long as we could anyway because we had a later flight. We were probably one of the last people off and that was at about 10:00am. The debarkation process was also the fastest I've ever experienced. We called Steve from SAS once we were outside and he was already there, so we hopped in his van and off to the airport we went.

 

Overall, the cruise was great. We had rough seas almost every night and on the last night there was a big rain storm with thunder and lightening. Aside from that the weather was perfect everyday.

 

Here are some more pics and video of the ship.

Thanks for posting, going on Liberty in April 2011 and getting married on St. Thomas.

 

I'd love to hear about the dance club/lounges. I'm trying to plan our reception....

thanks for the great trip report and pics. Booking a cruise for May 2011 on this exact same itinerary on Liberty!

[camorelli]

Thanks for sharing the great review! We'll be on this same ship/itinerary in 3 weeks! Can't wait!

I note the Carnival house flag flying at Grand Turk... did they develop this area or something? (Sorry if this has been answered a thousand times, I know Carnival had a hand in Roatan, but hadn't heard of this?)

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm going on this same cruise this Saturday! I can't wait.

Thanks for your review & pics. I loved all the pics. We're cruising on the Liberty in June & we can't wait for it to get here. :D

[Scouter Wife]

Thanks so much for all the pictures and the detailed review. We've booked this cruise for May 2011. This is very helpful!!

Great review, Tracey! Loved seeing the picture of the Miracle next to the Liberty. :D

 

One question......what is the price of the cabana on Grand Turk and how do you rent one? I'm thinking of just doing a beach day when we are there, so the cabana would be nice.

[luvz2cruze22]

Thank you, Sandy....I know, I was so excited to see the Miracle. I was trying to figure out about where our room would be while on the balcony.:D

 

The price of the cabana in GT is $130.00. You can rent one right through Carnival's website. It was really nice to have.

Thank You! Price is $130.00 and you can rent one through the Carnival site. It says up to 4 people, but we had 5 and we were fine.

How was Jacks Shack and the beach area there? Everyone raves about it and they say the crew goes to Jacks. Also didnt know really how far it was and if we would have time to stop there also.

 

Marcus did a really great job on the flowrider. Your pics and review are so awesome as always.:D

Thank you :) We didn't go in Jack's Shack, but the area around it was not nearly as packed as the area right off the ship. We did see a few crew members near Jack's. I'd say it takes 5-10 min. to get there depending on how you walk.

Hey Tracey,

 

How was the Biscayne Bay? We are staying there in November. Haven't been there in a long time.

Hey Tracey,

 

How was the Biscayne Bay? We are staying there in November. Haven't been there in a long time.

It was great. We had an ocean front balcony room first which was really nice, but we couldn't see the ships, so we switched rooms. They are doing some lobby renovations, but nothing that interfered with our stay. We were on floor 25.
