Thanksgiving on the Liberty with Chef’s Table: Long, Detailed Review with Photos

 

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments on my latest spring break cruise on the Glory. As promised, I am writing up the two previous cruises for which I neglected to do a review.

 

My DH and I spent Thanksgiving week on the Carnival Liberty, 11/20/10-11/27/10. We are a couple in our middle 40s. This was my 7th Carnival cruise and DH’s 6th. We have cruised other lines, including Princess, HAL, Disney and NCL, but prefer Carnival. Our week on the Liberty was the western route, with stops in Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Ochos Rios. I booked this cruise in March, 2010 around the same time I booked the Glory spring break cruise for March, 2011. This cruise was booked before Carnival stopped allowing travel agents to discount their cruises so, as I usually do, I used a website where you list your itinerary and travel agents bid for your business. This used to be a good deal. Recently, I have found that the prices quoted on the website are the same as those on the Carnival website, as Carnival does not allow TAs to discount their prices. We booked using easy saver and I found one price drop before our final payment was due, so our final payment was decreased a bit. I also used a Future Cruise Certificate that we purchased on our June, 2010 Freedom cruise (even though this cruise was already booked at the time we bought the FTC) without a problem. This would be the first cruise where we experienced a port hole cabin. I have to thank Foufie for her review and photos of her port hole cabin for giving me the idea. My kids (16 year old boy/girl twins) spend every other Thanksgiving week with their dad, so this cruise was an opportunity for DH and I to have some alone time. We had also sailed Thanksgiving week in 2008 (Triumph) and we like the fact that the weather is cooler that time of the year, plus it seems that cruise prices are very reasonable. We’d love to do a New Year’s Eve cruise (my birthday is 12/31), but the prices are so high for that time of year. Fortunately, Thanksgiving week doesn’t seem to be overly expensive!

 

We left our home in Orlando at about 6:30 am on 11/20/10. We stopped for breakfast and gas on the FL Turnpike and made it to the Port of Miami at around 11 am. Parking was no problem at all, and we easily found a spot on the ground floor level in the parking area across the street from the terminal. We wheeled our luggage across the street and gave it to a porter and went inside to check in. Miami has gone to the check-in kiosks where you scan your passport and the charge card you registered online with for th initial check in. The idea is to do this step first and then take the slip of paper the kiosk spits out to another desk to pick up your sail and sign card. Unfortunately we had just registered our credit card the previous night so it wasn’t registering. A Carnival rep directed us to a desk where they checked us in manually and gave us our Sail and Sign cards.

 

This was the first time I had seen a place to book shore excursions right in the terminal. DH and I had decided to do the Bamboo Beach Club in Ochos Rios (a decision we would greatly regret later...more on that in the Ochos Rios part of the review), so we booked it right then at a cost of $59.95 each. It was at this time that we realized we had not been given a zone number, the number you are usually given upon entering the terminal to indicate when you board. So, we found the person handing them out and were given zone 2. However, as it turned out, the zone number wasn’t needed because by one of the escalators used for boarding (the B escalator), at one point an attendant was just telling everyone near the escalator to board. We took that as our cue and entered the ship.

 

As soon as we entered the lobby, we came across a table for Harry’s Steak House. This was the first time we had heard of being given the free bottle of wine if you dined in the steakhouse the first night of the cruise, so we decided to take advantage of that perk and made a reservation for 7:30 pm. We also came across the table where you can purchase a wine package for the week . DH doesn’t think a meal is complete without a nice bottle of wine, so we always purchase the 5 bottle package. With a night in the steak house and another night at the Chef’s Table, we were all set for the week. This trip we chose the least expensive wine package, which was $126.50 including gratuity.

 

With these chores taken care of, it was time to check on our table in the MDR. We always request a table for just our party size. Not that we don’t like meeting other people when we cruise, but we are so busy at home that we like our time on vacation to reconnect and enjoy one another. Table assignments are indicated on your sail and sign card. We were assigned to the upper level of the Golden Olympian Restaurant, on deck 4. It turned out that deck 3 of the Golden Olympian was used for “your time dining”. Our table number was 649. We found the table and were glad that it was a table for 2 next to the railing overlooking the lower level.

 

 

We then made our way to the Lido Deck for some lunch. Here is DH with the Miami skyline behind him.

 

 

Note he is standing by a “no smoking” sign. DH had given up a 30 year smoking habit the previous summer, so no more having to find the smoking side of the ship!! For lunch, I tried the burrito bar and was not thrilled. As I noted in the Glory review, I found the burrito to be really skimpy on the fillings so that I was taking a lot of bites of just the flour tortilla. This, combined with the fact that the flour tortillas were not heated and that the meat fillings were just luke warm, meant that once the cold vegetables and sauce were added, the entire burrito was barely warm. That was my first taste of the burrito bar; the 3/11 Glory cruise was my second and last taste. It’s just not for me! DH had a deli sandwich and was satisfied. We also took the opportunity to order a couple of DODs. Now we were on vacation!!

 

After lunch, it still wasn’t quite time to go to the cabin, so we took a photo tour of the ship.

Finally it was time to go see our first ever port hole cabin. We were assigned 1220, forward on the Riviera Deck. We loved the room and at the price of an inside, found it a great value! The Liberty had not yet made the change to a flat screen TV but that did not bother us in the least! When we arrived in our room, ice was already in the ice bucket and the fridge was open. We always remove the fridge mini bar contents and set them on top of the counter and fill the fridge with our own sodas. DH is a pepsi fanatic and Carnival serves coke products, so we always bring on some pepsi max for him and diet coke for me, as we like a soda in the room after shore excursions or with room service.

We took a short nap until it was time for the muster drill at 3:30 pm. We have learned not to be the first one at the muster drill and we arrived in time not to be squeezed in the back during the drill. The muster drill was over by 4 pm and although sail away was scheduled for 4 pm, we were docked for a while longer. Finally an announcement was made over the intercom that sail away was delayed while they assessed the medical condition of a passenger to determine whether they were ok to sail or if they would need to be removed from the ship. DH and I had planned to be on the Lido for sail away, but with the delay, we didn’t make it. We went back to the cabin to wait for the luggage. We had 3 pieces of luggage and although 2 were delivered shortly after the muster drill, the third was delayed until nearly 6 pm. No explanation as to why it was delayed...we didn’t have any booze in it. I guess it somehow just got separated from the rest.

 

We showered and changed for our 7:30 pm dinner reservation at Harry’s Steakhouse. The steakhouse had one large table of young people (early 20s) all wearing ship name tags. I assume they were crew, but we never did ascertain where they worked. Besides that large table, there were a few other tables occupied by guests, but it was far from full.

 

The free wine was a bottle of Chilean Santa Carolina wine. We were given a choice of red (merlot) or white (chardonnay). We chose the red, but we began our meal with 2 kir royals (champagne and creme de cassis)...wonderful!

 

For dinner, DH ordered the onion soup as a starter, the caesar salad, and the filet mignon with a side of mushrooms. I ordered the escargot as a starter, the spinach and mushroom salad and the broiled lobster tail with wasabi mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. It was all quite tasty, however the lobster tail was split and grilled and had a strong grilled taste rather than the broiled taste I was hoping for. We were also given a cup of tomato soup (I know it had a fancier name, but that’s what it tasted like) and a mini hamburger “compliments of the chef”. The mini hamburger was good and the soup was ok, but nothing I’d order on my own.

For dessert DH had the cheese plate and a Courvoisier VS cognac. For the cheese plate, the waiter wheels over a large cart with all kinds of cheese and asks which you would like. DH just asked for a taste of everything and then the waiter added fruit, water crackers, and the same bread served served on the MDR cheese plate. I had tried the cheese cake in June on the Freedom and it is huge...definitely enough to feed four. So, for dessert I went with the chocolate trio, however it was also quite large. It is served in three little cups. One cup is tiramisu, one is a brownie and ice cream and the other is something which I don’t recall. Looking at the photo, it looks like it has ice cream on it too. All of the desserts were very good, but also very rich. I know I did not begin to finish them. I also had a cappuccino, which is complementary both in the steak house and in the MDR.

During our dinner, the wine sommelier told us about the wine and food pairing seminar that was being held the next day (a sea day). DH loves to attend wine tastings, so we made a reservation with her for the wine tasting.

 

After dinner, we walked outside a bit. The Liberty did not have the Serenity area at that time (I think it is due to go into dry dock and receive it soon), so we just walked around and enjoyed the moonlight before heading off to bed.

 

As before, I will try to do one day of the cruise per day. I may be delayed a bit on Friday as we will be glued to the telly all day for the royal wedding!! I am also using the large font again, as I find it easier to read. If it offends anyone, I can change to the regular size!

 

Tomorrow a sea day...

I forgot to post that in looking back over my Fun Times I saw that at 8 pm on the first night of the cruise there was a Meet and Greet for 18-20 year olds in the Piano Man bar. I know there has been some discussion on Cruise Critic about there not being anything for the 18-20 year olds, who are too old for Club O2, but too young to drink in the bars. I am happy that Carnival had this scheduled and hope to see it on future sailings. Hopefully once the 18-20 year olds meet, then they can make plans to meet up and do things together!!

Enjoy your cruise! I think Thanksgiving week is the ideal time to cruise!!

 

I'll post the second day, a sea day later tonight.

This review covers the Liberty ship. I do have a review on the Glory (see link in signature), however this review is on a sister ship to Glory, the Liberty!:) Maybe that's why nothing looks familiar!!:D

11/21/10, Sea Day

 

If you have read my previous reviews, you know that we determine our wake up times by the time that the MDR closes for breakfast. We much prefer being waited on for breakfast rather than fighting the crowds at the Lido Deck, so make an effort to wake up and get to breakfast before the MDR closes. Today, the MDR was serving breakfast until 10 am, so we got up (after having set a wakeup call the previous night) and turned the telly to the Morning Show, put on by Cruise Director Todd Wittmer, while we got ready. Breakfast was served in the Silver Olympian Restaurant all the way at the back of the ship, so we made the long walk down our hallway to the aft elevators to go up to level 3.

 

I really liked the decor of the restaurant with the silver inlays in the ceiling. I thought that the Liberty was a beautiful ship overall. There is a lot of iron work about the ship which adds to its beauty. In my opinion, it is the second most beautiful ship in Carnival’s fleet (the first being the Miracle).

 

Photos of dining room ceiling:

 

 

 

The breakfast service was rather slow. I think our best breakfast service was on the Glory during our 3/11 cruise. This service was much slower. DH had an omelet, hash browns and sausage. I had eggs benedict, sausage and a plain yogurt. The food was good, but took a while to arrive.

 

After our breakfast, we looked in the gift shop. As we were unpacking yesterday, DH found that he had left his flip flops at home.* Now I'm not entirely sure this was accidental, as DH is not really a beach type of person, but since we did have two beach excursions booked (Bamboo Beach Club in Ochos Rios and Nacchi Cocum in Cozumel), I reminded him that he probably wouldn't want to be walking around the sand in sneakers.* Fortunately the gift shop had a good selection of Quicksilver men's flip flops as well as some Quicksilver shorts that I was able to talk DH into buying as well.* DH does not wear shorts often, so if he was in the mood to buy shorts, I was going to encourage the purchase.* We also picked up some of the t-shirts, which were 2 for $20.* We find the Carnival shirts to be of good quality and since jeans and a t-shirt are DH's standard weekend wear, we thought it a bargain. We then walked around the ship a bit, stepping outside the lobby area for a bit to admire the view. This is a very nice area to sit and read a book in a chaise lounge in the shade.

 

 

 

Our wine tasting was scheduled for 12:30 pm in Harry’s Steakhouse. The price was $17.25 each. We chose a table for 2 and were soon presented with 5 wines: a Cabernet Sauvignon (Australia) by Wolf Blass Yellow Label, a red bordeaux by George De Beouf Beaujolais-Villages (France), Meridian Chardonnay (California), Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand), and Leonard Kreoush Mosel Town Riesling (Germany).

 

 

We were also served a plate containing a piece of steak, a piece of salmon, a slice of brie cheese, some salt, some berries, a lemon and lime wedge and an apple wedge.

 

 

The sommelier was very knowledgeable and described how to swirl a glass of wine to look at the “legs” or the bits that cling to the sides of the glass. Slower legs indicate a higher alcohol content. Our sommelier was from Thailand and she talked about “New Latitude” wines, which are from Thailand, which apparently has an emerging wine market. It was an informative session and we really enjoyed it.

After our wine seminar, we went up to the Lido Deck for lunch. The big screen by the main pool was showing a NFL football game, which was our cue to find a different place to eat!! We ended up by the adult pool in the back of the ship at the grill. DH had a couple of hot dogs and fries and I had a burger with mushrooms and some fruit.

 

Adult pool area. Note the iron work around the post:

 

 

 

 

After lunch, I went up to Deck 10, which was pretty empty and found a chaise in the shade and sat and read for a while. DH read his book at a table on the Lido Deck, as he does not like to sit in chaise lounge chairs.

 

Deck 10:

 

 

After all this strenuous activity, it was clearly time for a nap. We get into a routine on sea days (and sometimes on port days as well) where we avoid the hottest part of the day (as well as the crowds) by going inside for a nap and go back out to the pool area around 6 pm while the early seating people are getting ready for dinner. We find that is the best time for us to enjoy the pool area and this is the reason why we always choose late seating for dinner.

 

After a nap, I went back up to the adult pool area to use the hot tub. DH stayed in the cabin and read his book. I was soon joined in the hot tub by a couple of brothers who were on the ship for their dad’s 3rd wedding. The wedding and the reception had taken place earlier in the day. The boys had clearly had a few drinks at the reception and said they were meant to meet the rest of their family, but could not find them. So, I guess they decided to use the hot tub?? One of the boys had just got himself one of the airbrushed tattoo they do on the ship and took great pride in showing it off. There was another young couple in the hot tub and it was then that I recognized the generation gap between the 20 somethings and the 40 something. When the clearly inebriated young man showed the other couple his tattoo their response was, “hey, man, that’s f**ing awesome,” When he showed it to me, in my best school teacher voice I said, “oh, how lovely,”. Not to be deterred, the two boys were in a very chatty mood and went on and on about the wedding, how they had just met their step siblings for the first time and about how “the third time was the charm” for their dad. What was really comical though was that every time the other couple would ask them if they had seen a certain place on the ship, they answered, “oh yeah, the wedding reception was there,” In the course of the conversation, it seemed the wedding reception was held in the piano bar, the disco and the lounge where the Punchliner Comedy Club was held. These boys had clearly availed themselves of the bar during the reception. The other couple soon left and I was left alone with the two lads as they continued their monologue about their day. Finally, the more sober brother decided that they should really make an effort to meet up with the rest of their family and they left. I hoped they made it to the rest of their family before they passed out.

 

Tonight was Cruise Elegant night, so we put on our fancy wear and went down to the Lobby Bar for the Introduction of the Captain. The lobby area is quite beautiful. The chandelier changes colors and there is a lot of wrought iron work along the staircase. I loved the decor of the Liberty!

Wonderful review so far. Looking forward to the rest. :) LOVE all the pictures.

[pcrum]

There was $1.00 off of drinks during this time, so DH had a glass of red wine and I had a glass of champagne. We watched the introduction of the ship’s officers and the captain and then listened to the band which was playing in the lobby.

 

DH and I at lobby bar:

 

 

Introduction of ship's officers:

 

 

 

The band playing was called Summer Breeze and the lead singer was from the Philippines. It was rather strange to hear a Philippino woman doing country songs such as Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream” and “Achy Breaky Heart”. But there were people dancing and two stepping to the music, so I guess some people liked it! However, we would soon find the rock band, Blood Power, on the ship and follow them around to the different lounges as we prefer rock music to easy listening or country.

 

Soon it was 8:15 pm and time for our dinner so we made our way to the Golden Olympian Restaurant. We met our dining room server for the first time. I am trying to think of words to describe her, as she was unlike any Carnival server we have ever had before. You know how the MDR dinner service is usually polished and the waiters are very gracious...Well, this waitress was none of those things. In fact, she seemed like she'd be more at home at a hash house than in the MDR on a cruise ship. I didn't write down her name, but I will refer to her as Flo, ("kiss my grits") from the 70s sitcom, "Alice". Menus and food were more or less tossed on the table. On some cruises (usually the ones without the kids where we have a more leisurely meal), DH and I like to start the meal with the cheese plate from the dessert menu. We find it goes nicely with the wine. Apparently we were the first ones to ever request this, as Flo was dumbfounded by the request. "You want the cheese with the soup," she asked. No, we'd like it first, as a starter. It took three nights until she got the idea. It was then that DH and I started remembering our past servers in the MDR. I can only recall having a woman head waiter twice before, and both times they were both friendly and efficient. Thinking back though, it seemed that Carnival did not put a lot of women into the head waiter position, so we really wondered how Flo made the cut. DH commented that this must be her first week as a head waiter, because she just seemed very unprepared and overwhelmed. We usually look to the server for recommendations if we are unsure about an entree. In the past, we've found that the servers seemed to know what was good and what was best to avoid. When asked for a recommendation, Flo's response was to simply bring both of the dishes we asked about. Now we have cruised enough not to be shy about ordering two entrees if that is what we want. But one night I was very torn between the lamb entree and the seafood newburg. I asked Flo which she'd recommend.

 

"I bring you both," she answered.

"No thanks, I really don't want both, I just wondered which you thought was better," I replied.

"I bring both. You don't have to eat them both, but then you can try and see what you like."

"Thanks, but I think I'll just go with the lamb," I had tried the lamb before and knew I liked it.

"No, I will bring you both".

"Ok".

 

DH was giving me a look that said, "just go with it," so, I shut up and didn't argue. As it turned out the seafood newburg was pretty good, so it worked out ok, although I could not eat both entrees entirely and left a lot of food.

 

Anyway, back to tonight's dinner. It was formal night, so that meant lobster!! DH and I started with the cheese plate from the dessert menu, DH then had the appetizer portion of the spaghetti carbonara (you can order an appetizer size of the pasta entree each night). He then had the prime rib and I ordered the broiled lobster and shrimp entree with a second shrimp and lobster to split between us (I eat the lobster and DH eats the shrimp). I enjoyed the lobster in the MDR better than that in the steak house because the MDR lobster did not have that grilled taste.

 

Here we are with our dessert and coffee:

 

 

For dessert, I had the WCMC and DH had just had a double expresso. From that night on, whenever I'd order dessert, Flo would say, "Would you like a WCMC too?" While I appreciated the sentiment, I really did not want two desserts and if I did, I would have asked for two. In retrospect, I think it might have been a cultural misunderstanding. From reading the book "Cruise Confidential" it seems many of the staff are dumbfounded by the large amounts that Americans eat. Most of the female crew are very slim and according to the "Cruise Confidential" book, they exist mainly on fruit. Even though Flo was a bit more rounded than the usual female crew member, she clearly had it in her head that with Americans, "more is better." It was almost like she thought if all else fails, ply the Americans with more food and they will be happy!

 

The production show tonight was “Wonderful World,” with the dancers and singers. If we had our son with us, we would have definitely had to see the show, as he attends a theatre magnet high school and really enjoys the big production shows from a technical stand point. However, we decided to check out the piano bar where Brad was the performer for the week. When we walked in, Brad was doing one of his original songs, which was not our taste, so we left. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again...the quality of the players in the piano bar is going down on Carnival. Why do you go to a piano bar? To hear old favorites like Billy Joel, Elton John and other popular artists whose songs can be played on a piano. Something by Van Halen, with a lot of acoustic guitar wouldn’t work, but you get the idea! Heck, even throw in some Broadway tunes. You want to have a drink, sing a long with the songs and be merry. You do not go to a piano bar to hear some guy do his original music or to tell jokes, which is my other pet peeve!! So many of the piano players seem to be frustrated comics! Ok, now that I’ve got that off my chest, on with the review.

 

[pcrum]

Since the piano bar clearly wasn’t happening for us, we decided to check out the martini tasting, which was being held at the Origami Bar. I should note that most of the entertainment venues and lounges are within just a few steps from one another at the back of the ship on Deck 5. The flavors for the martini tasting were Tommy’s Delight, Creamy Chocolate, Bikini, and Mangotini. You were given 4 mini martins for $17.25 including gratuity. The ingredients are shown in the photo below (sorry for the big flash mark).

 

 

Martinis:

 

 

 

Tommy was a bar tender who made all the martinis and he was very fun. He alternated between the Origami Bar and the Paparazzi Wine Bar. Here is a photo of Tommy and DH from a later night in the cruise. DH loved the Tommy’s Delight martinis.

 

 

Tommy's Delight martini:

 

 

 

We took our mini martinis and made our way to the Victoria Lounge for the 11 pm show at the Punchliner Comedy Club. This was the first ship we had been on with a dedicated comedy club and we think it's an excellent idea. During the course of the week there were 4 different comics, so the material was always fresh. Furthermore, each comic did both a PG 13 show and an adults only (over 18 show). With our late dinner seating, we could only make the adult shows, but that was fine with us. The first comic we saw was Leighann Lord. She was ok, funny in spots, but not great. When her show ended, we peeked in at The Stage lounge which was hosting karaoke. Let’s just say unless you’re Eninem, if you’re a white guy, maybe you shouldn’t rap! We then went back to Punchliner’s for the midnight comedy show of Jim Brick, who was excellent.

 

We finally made it to back to the cabin at 1 am where an elephant greeted us!!

 

Tomorrow, our day at Nacchi Cocum, Cozumel.

Didn't make a whole lot of sense without the photo, did it? Thanks so much for reading. The reviews are fun to write as I get to re-live the trips.

[pcrum]

Enjoying your review and the large font. Great details! Feels like we're with you...More please!

 

I will post the Cozumel day (Nachi Cocum) tonight when I get home. I'm trying to get one day of the cruise up each day!:)

 

Love this review so far & great photos! Can't wait to hear about the Chef's Table!

 

The Chef's Table was on Wednesday during the cruise. Tonight when I get home, I'll post the Cozumel day (Monday). Tues. was a sea day and then Wed. was the chef's table. I should have that day up by Sat. night. Thanks for reading the review!

[sunsailsand]

Love the review and large font,keep us informed
