We just got off of Liberty and you are 100% right about the artwork! I commented that you cannot find one person smiling in any of the art! Very Strange for a cruise ship!

Seems like Liberty will be sailing out of NJ a lot. I will be on there in June 2023. I think they were showing a kid's movie in that theater because the Screen on the pool deck has been broken for a long time for the many videos I've seen.
@TheWeekendCruiser

The broken screen sure is an eye sore. They have a tarp over it which definitly says "not fixing anytime soon".

@@TheWeekendCruiser That is a tough question, I will be traveling with multiple generations of my family with an age range of 12 to 84. If I could ask you to do a video on the best quite places so my in laws and mom could avoid the busy and loud areas when they need a break from it other than their room? My mom is saying this will be her last cruise due to the cost of the single supplement and insurance incresing greatly as she ages. Thank you so much for asking, I really want my mom to enjoy her last cruise.

Wow we just got off the Liberty of the Seas and also our first Royal cruise. We had a great time and the crew was awesome. We purposely looked at the framed pictures in the stairwells because I watched this video before we went, lol they were odd. Food was really good and the embarkation/disembarkation process was unbelievably quick, faster than we have ever experienced.

Well, this sounds pretty good to me. I notice that amplified ships also sometimes come with amplified upcharges! I think for the fall Canada cruises, it sounds just right. I don't mind old decor, and since I don't have little kids, I prefer the older ships with less thrill stuff, but I don't like worn out staterooms, so hope that is not the case.
@TheWeekendCruiser

@TheWeekendCruiser

Hey Jeffrey, I didn't mention the drink package cost as it is a dynamic cost based on every sailing. Every sailing will have the drink packages at a different amount and there is no consistency.

We sailed on Liberty back in October out of Galveston and had a ton of fun! I was surprise to see that the Windjammer didn't have hand washing stations but the hand sanitizer ladies were fun w/ their outfits and enthusiasm. We've only experienced Voyager and Freedom Class ships and already enjoy them so much. We can't wait for our first Oasis Class (Harmony & Allure) sailings next year!

Hi Brandon. I'm booked to sail on this ship for your group cruise coming up at the end of next month. Thanks for the heads up about having to look at that hideous carpet! This cruise, I'm not going on it because of the ship (I love the big ships), I'm going to meet you and other members of the group to have fun. I'm sure that won't be a problem. I don't do any social media, so this is where I can get all of my updates. Will you be posting where we're going to be meeting, activities, etc., for the upcoming trip? The only thing I'll be doing Monday morning upon disembarkation is driving back home to Volusia County. Also, I'm assuming Liberty has a "Next Cruise" on the ship? I want to book the Icon while on board.
@TheWeekendCruiser
@TheWeekendCruiser Год назад
I am excited you are joining us! As the cruise is getting closer, need to get serious about planning. Have not even posted anything on the social side so you haven't missed anything.

As much as I look forward to learning and seeing all about Liberty, I am going to view her as a lifeboat bringing me to Bermuda next June and consider her my floating hotel! Salmon carpet, weird pictures, bring it on....if I have to eat room service from my aft JS balcony so be it...I'll be in Bermuda! Granted, this doesn't sound like a very good ship to be doing the weekend south Florida cruises though.
@TheWeekendCruiser
@TheWeekendCruiser Год назад
It's an odd mix. I don't know if they had extra capacity and just needed to place her somewhere? Every other weekend cruise ship is amplified and turning out amazing experiences. This ship, is not doing that for all the first time cruisers on her.
