Greetings from the Liberty of the Seas


We spent a delightful day aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas. This ship has it all. From rock walls and flow-riders to quiet corners for those who just want to get away.
This is a Freedom Class ship and until the Oasis of the Seas (another RCCL ship) she was the largest cruise ship ever built with 15 decks she accommodates more than 4,300 passenger and 1,300 crew members. She is big, bold and beautiful.
But what I liked best about here was the fact that she in multi-generational. There is something for everyone from age 1-101. There are all the things RCCL for which RCCL is famous: Ice Rink, flow-rider, best children and youth programs at sea. It would be hard for a family to go wrong on this ship. Oh yes, and the food was great.
If there is a down-side to this ship it is the fact that like so many of the contemporary (formerly we called them mass market) cruise lines they nickle and dime you to death. Don't take a cruise on this ship or any other that appeals to the mass market thinking it is all-inclusive. It is not. You will pay extra for specialty coffees (RCCL things Seattle's best is a specialty coffee), all alcohol drinks, soft drinks, specialty dinning rooms, room service during the late night hours and a whole range of other things. Understand this going in you'll have a great cruise.
If you have sailed on this ship tell us what you think.
