Subject: Review - Liberty of the Seas - August 25 - September 1, 2007

Back again for my review of the Liberty of the seas 8/25/07 sailing . In a ward WOW !!!! Great ship First off this was the last of our back to back cruises with a 4 day stay in Lago Mar resort on the beach in Ft Laderdale .Great place to stay before any cruise !! We did this cruise maily for the ship itself . Having been to the W.Caribbean on cruises over 20 times !! Frist off RCCI has to have the every best getting on & off there ships in port of Mimai !! We got on the ship at 11am .Got our bages to the cabin by the time we were able to get in to the cabin around 1pm !!

The our cabin was 9374 .Wow a good size cabin with a veranda witch was very deep !! We were travling with our 2 boys 15 & 16 . So there was alot of room in the cabin .I think on this class of RCCI ships ,the cabins are the biggest in the fleet !!

The food well this was our 3rd RCCI cruise this year the other's being the Majesty of the seas the week before this cruise.And the Empress of the seas doing an 11 day cruise out of san Juan 2/25/07 !! Both great cruises also . This was our 10 RCCI cruise out of our 69 cruise we have done . We use to rate the food on RCCI a 4 out of 10 being the hightest !! Now we rate it between 6 & 7 now it"s that much better .Just our opion !! But would not call it the best cruise food we have had !! The WindJammer is a great place to eat very big with no lines . Love the Johny Rockets ,best apple pie alamo and sakes anywhere !! The main dinning room is very big 3 decks hight !! The food was very good here also !! And great service .

The shows maybe the best we ever seen on our past 69 cruises ,just great .Even the ice show was great we love it !! We didn't miss a show on this cruise .The lounges were really good like the last week on the Majesty of the seas ,we didn't get back to our cabin untill around 2am .The night life was great also !!!

Up on deck well there is 3 pool areas on this ship .The H2O zone is a water park for young kids ,wish they had it when our boys were young .What a great place !! Then the main pool area where everything take place .It,s realy big 2 pool side by side .We always got 2 chairs by the pool every day .But at times it did get crowed .But you could always get lounges on the upper decks !! And then there"s the aduit are pool with 2 big hot tubs hanging over both sides of the ship .I always use them in the morring coming in to pool .Wow it was great !! And there a huge gym on board it has everything in it !! And at the stean there the world famus Fow Rider !! My boys did it i didn"t i have a bed knee !! And a great basletball count .Rock climming wall and Mini golf !! On the main deck we everything is it feels like a floating mall !! Thats where the praides are held and the 70"s party !! Very big and great !!

Ports like i said before we have been to the W Caribbean meny times in the past .So we only shop on this cruise !! Had a great beach day in Laberdee !! Boy it was hat !! .We like the ports better on the Majsety last weeks cruise !! About 50% of our cruises now are for the ships !! not so much the ports of call !! This was one of them .And it truned out just great .

last thoughts on the Libery of the seas !! Bring your walking shoes shes a big ship !!! Like i said the food we find much inproved !! And the show"s were great Don"t miss the ice show !!I can"t beleive RCCI has a class of ships the will be 225.00 ton"s that may be just to big .We found the ship very big !! Would i do this ship again not realing we like trying new ships each time out .But i would try the freedom or the New Ind. coming out next summer.Don"t get me wrong the cruise and ship were great !! Just alittle big for us !! But the cabins are very big .I
think this ship would be great for frist time cruisers .and if you cruise alot .I think you must try this class of ship non like them on the hight seas !!

In clossing we had a great time on both the Majesty & Liberty of the seas .A great cruise line .Our next cruises will be on the HAL Nooram a brand new ship doing an 11 day S.Caribbean cruise out of NYC 2/16/08 Then an 9 night Canada cruise out of Bay. NJ Cap Libety 8.28/08 . On the Exploer of the seas . Hope you enjoy our review on the Liberty of the seasa a great time was had by all !!
