	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Exceptional service. We had the best din by A Traveler from Jaffrey, NH, USA Sailing date: Sep 2007 Pros: The fine dinning and careing staff. Except for the meet and greet staff at the airport our cruise was nicer than my highest expectations. The ships staff are warm, caring and highly proffessional. I am anxious to take my next cruise. Please work on improving the meet and greet staff as that was my first contact. My initial response was that I could only hope that our cruise wouldn't be such a bad experience. The cruise was great.

The only disappointment was the small pool sizes. For the 1200 children on board we thought the pools would be bigger in size. Ship Details: Ship Quality Again only disappoint was the small pool sizes Dining/Food We had a wonderful dinning experience. The food was excellent, especially in the dinning room. Our head waiter was so personable;sharing stories of his homeland. He made our dinning experience a comfortable one. Stateroom Quality The staterooms were always very clean. Ship Staff Quality Very friendly staff - everyone greeted you when passing by. Nice touch! Entertainment & Activities The theatre performers were excellent. We enjoyed all the productions. We could not hear the announcements the Cruise Director made from the upper deck, main pool side, though. The Cruise Director was funny and entertaining.

The food is incredible and i've never had better customer service. There were so many activities it was impossible to be bored. I absolutely will cruise with Carnival again because of this experience. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Great food on buffets but also in all dining rooms.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview amazing relaxing getaway! by Catherine B. from Long Island, NY Sailing date: Feb 2009 Pros: timeliness, friendly staff, lots of options for onboard fun Cons: nothing! It had been about 10 years since I had last been on a cruise. And I was completely impressed with this ship - I liked even better than the line I had been on once before! Everything was very organized upon the arrival and leading all the way up to departure. The friendliness of the staff was phenomenal and everyone was so helpful! Ship Details: Ship Quality Lidia, our stewardess, was phenomenal! She introduced herself and her assistant on the first day and everyday we saw them we were greeted with big warm smiles! Dining/Food Our waitress and waiter, Kostadinka and Gabor, were awesome! They were so helpful and very personable. At night it felt like we were sitting down with long lost relatives. Stateroom Quality On the Orbitz site we chose a room that said it was an interior room but stated that the location was an oceanview room. We didn't expect that at all so when we got to the room we literally jumped up and down because we saw the huge window and it was jus great! Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Read this user's port of call reviews: Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman; Ocho Rios, Jamaica Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cozumel, Mexico My friend and I took a Mexican Cooking and Tasting class and were able to spend a little over an hour at the beach. It was so gorgeous! It really felt like we were in paradise. We went back to the ship to relax for a little then hit the port again at night to do some shopping. Don't Miss: The beaches. George Town, Grand Cayman We took a tour with 4 other guests on the Liberty and our driver, Christine, was amazing! She was born and raised in Grand Cayman so she had a lot of history of the island, which was really nice. We did some shopping and found a computer to make free phone calls home from a souvenir shop, I don't remember the name, but you had to walk up a flight of stairs. Don't Miss: Hell Ocho Rios, Jamaica Some of the people you came across in Ocho Rios were sketchy. I'm from NY and I'm used to people coming up and trying to sell you stuff, but you say "no" twice and they leave you alone. In Jamaica, they don't let up. We walked up the falls and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! The guides, Shaw and Peeping Tom (cameraman), were really fun. Our tour bus guide, Marie, was really cool too. But once you were alone outside the port we were just bombarded. You have to have a thick skin or just stay on a tour. Don't Miss: Dunns River Falls 11 out of 11 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple The ship was great. by Steve from Kansas City, MO Sailing date: Jul 2007 We would not hesitate to take another cruise with Carnival. Ship Details: Dining/Food Food was really good, there just wasn't a theme like we are used to. Stateroom Quality No problem. Bed was comfortable and room was always clean. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Read this user's port of call reviews: Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico; Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Great place to snorkel. Took the beack snorkel tour. The water was beyond beleif. We were put in groups, and had a great guide. Very beautiful. Don't Miss: The snorkeling. Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Not very exciting. We took the city tour, and about all we heard about was the new roofs that were being put on houses from the hurricane a few years back. 14 out of 18 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Inside beautiful cruise by georgina R. from florida Sailing date: Sep 2008 Pros: food,tours,and ship's activities Cons: rolled a bit in the bad weather - one night, could feel it. so much going on we loved it all. We have been on approx 7 cruises and this was on a par with the Queen Mary 2, our 3rd Carnival ships cruise and also the Royal Caribbean cruise you just cannot do enough to make sure we all have a good time. Doing Nova Scotia July 09. Ship Details: Ship Quality the rooms and ships cleanliness was perfect, no one could deny that. Keep up the good work and we for sure will sail you again we just loved it. Maybe have sea legs my father was a Royal Navy Officer and was killed in World War 2 but we just love the sea. Dining/Food Loved the food dined each night and had to be waited on cannot get enough of the service you staff are so pleasant. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality clearly your staff go above and beyond expectations. Entertainment & Activities loved the shows the dancers were the best. The comedian had us all in stitches .

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Restful & Relaxing by Laura S. from Lake Worth, FL Sailing date: Nov 2010 Pros: New open seating format - dine when you want, sit down! Cons: Shows are still the same The Liberty was clean and easy to navigate around. Everything was accessible and mostly mid ship which was very refreshing. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The overall quality of the food was similar to prior Carnival ships I have been on. Good with a dose of very good mixed in. Most of the menu items were similar to prior cruises on different Carnival ships, The new dine when you want option is GREAT! Rather than be stuck with early seating or late seating, you got to go to the sit down dining room and eat when you want! Previously the only option was eat when you are scheduled or you have to eat from the buffet line that is open from 5:30-7:30. I like the sit down getting served experience, but as we all know, sometimes we sleep in late, have a late breakfast and a late lunch and so you aren't ready to eat at 5:45. While we never had more than a 5 minute wait to be seated, I did see later times had a little more of a wait, but even then it didn't seem like people waited for more than 10 minutes. The waiters were just as friendly....and they tried to sit you (if you asked) with the same waiter that you had previously! Stateroom Quality Still kept up nice.....could use some softer sheets, but overall, I was very pleased. Ship Staff Quality Everyone was very friendly and accessible.....never a problem or question that didn't get answered quickly. Entertainment & Activities Carnival has tried to "mix it up" a little and now offers a lot of "comedy" on the ship. This did somewhat make up for the fact that their shows are old and outdated. These same shows I have seen at least 5 times on other Carnival ships. The magician was new and that was refreshing, but the "Liberty Dancers" did the same shows as the "Valor Dancers" and the "Victory Dancers", etc. Buy some new copyright material to give repeat customers something different than the same old song and dance that you get no matter what ship you go on. I expect to see the same if I am on the same ship perhaps, but different ships should offer different shows....or at a minimum, new shows every 2-3 years. We saw the same shows as we saw back in February 2006, April 2007, March 2008 and August 2009. Read this user's port of call reviews: Cozumel, Mexico; Ocho Rios, Jamaica Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cozumel, Mexico Having been to this port before we just got off the ship and did the shopping right in the port. Ocho Rios, Jamaica BEWARE of this port....you get approached at least two dozen times by two dozen different individuals trying to give you a taxi ride downtown, even if you are just walking to the shopping right at the port. Additionally, we were approached at least twice by individuals trying to sell illegal substances. The shopping is similar to other ports. We have done this trip before, so we just shopped this trip. Be sure to shop around. We found a cute wooden cut out piece of local art of two kissing giraffes....one place wanted to sell it to us at $110 (after telling us that it is usually $180, but just for us they would give it to us at $110)....walked a bit further and finally ended up getting it for $30. Don't be afraid to walk away from even what you think is a good deal, likely there is a better one in store for you. Don't Miss: Dunn's River Falls (we didn't go on it this trip, but I have done it 4-5 times, always worth it)!!! 7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
