Thank you all for your comments! 

👍🏼😷

Just throwing it out here... do you think they will still sail? Thinking of booking... but doubtful.... 

I know they have the up to 48 hours to cancel going on... but not sure we want to get our hopes up! 

Thank you, Dheat and Cruiserbear! Appreciate your replies! 

Good Evening,

Quick question... this will be our first cruise as Platinum.  We just ended up adding our adult daughter to our cabin. She is not platinum.  Do you think she will be able to board with us? [Did a little search already and didn’t find an answer!] Thank you in advance for any assistance! 

It seemed for me-- it wouldn't work on my phone-- but it worked from my laptop okay.

Cruzygryphon-

We flew into Hobby the day before...stayed the night in Houston. We had an Uber pick us up at the car rental... it was $46 if I recall to the port...

Enjoying your review! Thanks!!

Have a great cruise!

Hi Jimaok~

We had an inside guarantee-- got 9521... Deck 9- way up in the front. Great location. We hardly ever felt any movement at all.

Thanks, Cel-Cruise for answering re: drink cards! Haven't been on here today! Happy Cruising, everyone!

I had a hard time with some combination of the movie selection and the movie times. My kids would have loved to have seen Moana or Boss Baby (in 3D and a new release! Score!) but the times were during dinner.

 

I am sure that neither of these movies would have been a big draw for an adult who might have been able to watch them before late dinner?!

We totally agree! Most families would have chosen early dining... we thought it was odd.

Oh well! 😀

Loved reading your review! Thank you so much for sharing.

Sorry I am just getting to reply! Thanks for the comments... some of the questions others have answered- thank you! Cel-Cruise- you did a great job reviewing!

Re: popcorn- we love popcorn while watching movies- and were surprised they didn't have any for their movies like other cruise lines do. Speaking of movies- didn't feel they had a good selection overall.

As mentioned, the first night specialty dining was really confusing. It was quite easy to call Chops. I simply requested to eat there- and the guy said okay- and stated the available times.

Re: cruise director-

He was okay-- my wife thought he was a little annoying- but it was no biggie.

The captain was quite nice-- and seemed approachable and friendly.

Re: pizza. Everyone has different tastes- I'm pretty easy going-- I've had better crusts before.... but what we appreciated was how fast we would get it... never had to wait more than 3 or 4 minutes tops.

Also loved the water slides- and as I believe Cel-Cruise mentioned - the guys were great assisting newbies on the flow rider.

We got through customs really fast doing the self-assist... I know not everyone can do it- but it was really fast. Our waiter suggested going down at 6:30am- so we were pretty close to the front.

We definitely recommend Liberty of Seas!

Hi- we thought we would be assigned and given some kind of card in our room. However, at about 3:30, I just called Chops- and asked. They told me what time they had available-- and we were all set.

Re: drink cards. Probably around day 4 or 5, I noticed they had them for sale. 10 for $75 plus 18% gratuity.

My wife and I had a great week of relaxing on the Liberty of the Seas. We left Galveston on Easter Sunday. Got to the port at about 12:25. We were on board and dropping of carry-ons at 1pm at our stateroom. We've sailed with RCCL before- but it has been about 8 years. Just for background sake- been on NCL, Princess, Carnival, Costa and Celebrity. Most recent cruises have been Carnival and NCL. Had heard from here on cruise critic, the increased sales pitches for the specialty dining and spa services. I have to admit- there was a lot. However, there was not as much "pushy" sales of alcohol, as say Carnival.

Will try to make this brief! Overall, the staff were genuinely friendly and kind. Most of them seemed to enjoy what they do a lot. We had a great stateroom steward, Meninho. Top notch! 👍🏼 We had done the first night $15 specialty dining- and ate in Chops. It was fabulous! I'm not sure I would pay the $39 extra-- but it

was well worth the $15. Excellent service and food.

Both my wife and I are constantly dealing with people in our jobs, we enjoy just spending time with each other. The maitre d on Sunday took my name down, but could not promise me a table for 2. However, on Monday night he delivered! We had an awesome waiter, Frank from Jamaica and his assistant, Lanfang from China. Great service and passionate! The food overall was very good- not super duper... but very good. We enjoyed it. We ate one breakfast and a couple of lunches in the dining room. The service and food was good too. The made to order salad bar was great-- and sushi too.

Other breakfasts and lunches were at the buffet. They never seemed as crowded as Carnival or NCL- and the way they have waters, lemonade and tea already served-- sped things up. Lots of variety... never went hungry! 😀 We had late seating for dinner-- but would have Sushi at the buffet at 6ish. It was great!

Also noticed so many staff clearing the tables and also offering beverages- water, tea etc. Sorrentos had great pizza without a wait! Also, other Italian items. Promenade Cafe had delicious sandwiches and little desserts.

The coffee in buffet was not the best.... I'm not a coffee snob, but some days it was pretty bad. They did have Starbucks for sale at the Promenade. (Only bought it once, as there's a perk for Platinum level of a one time buy one get one free.)

Never did the $7.95 room service!

The ice show was amazing. I was impressed. Wasn't expecting it to be so good! Lol You will want to see it. The "In the Air" show was postponed. Technical problems. We waited about 45 minutes and they just had to apologize. It happens. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the rescheduled show.

The ports: been to all of them more than a few times. Didn't do a whole lot! The weather was fabulous.

I believe they said there were 4,299 passengers... only a few occasions did it seem congested... on the promenade in the evening-- as they have all sorts of selling going on. Also, on sea days by the main pool area. You definitely could find chairs though- we went up one deck and there were plenty. Lots of children! Some were very well-mannered-- others were not! I was shocked how many would be sitting in the hallways at night seemingly not chaperoned. They announced 800 passengers from Mexico, so they would do all announcements in Spanish too. I am guessing the Mexican schools were on vacation. We enjoy all the various cultures.

Not sure when this started, but life guards at all the pools. 👍🏼

Soft serve ice cream machine by the pool-- I believe 11am to 6 or 9pm??

We had a 10:55am flight out of Hobby. We did the self-assist. Got off at 7:30am. Took a taxi and made it in plenty of time. It was $100. We used Uber going to the ship- it was $46.... however, you can't use uber leaving the port.

All in all, a great cruise! Would go on the Liberty again! Happy to answer any questions that I can! Sorry- didn't save the Compasses!

Just checking if anyone else has info? Thanks!

Thank you, Juvesgirl! :)

Good Evening! I have tried a search-- but with no success. Does anyone know if you could get just a day spa pass on the Getaway? We have done the weekly passes on Pearl and Epic... but didn't want the whole week on upcoming cruise. If so, do you know what the price is? Thank you! :)

You go right to the Spa-- and purchase there... they put a sticker on your key card... (at least this was the process a couple of years ago on the Pearl.)

I had read a recent post somewhere- that the couples pass was not recently offered.... not sure though.

Thank you, riamalin. Appreciate it.

I am pretty sure that is for one person, anamarieus...

Bump! Just checking if anyone knows of the day pass price? Anyone...? :D Thank you!

Thanks, KBeck28! Do you know how much the price was for the day? We bought the week pass on the Pearl and thoroughly enjoyed it... but was thinking maybe we would just do it one day.... was curious of the daily rate.:)
