Liberty cruise report | 032016-032716 | Falmouth, George Town, Cozumel

[M_BA]

We then headed back towards the three cruise ships in the harbor; (closest to farthest) NCL, Liberty & Princess.

 

 

 

Our pilot informed us that he would position the helicopter to allow us to get good pictures of each ship.

Amazing. The blueness of the water looks surreal

 

It does, for those of us used to waters on the East/West coasts and Gulf of Mexico.

[M_BA]

Our pilot banked left and we moved into position for the Princess ship.

 

 

 

 

 

We then headed back towards the helipad.

 

 

 

 

 

Our pilot took pictures as he allowed the engines to cool down.

Once we departed the helicopter, our pilot offered to take pictures of us in front of the helicopter.

 

 

 

 

 

I then took a couple pictures of the aircraft.

 

 

 

 

 

We then headed back to the pier, where there were some merchants to peruse. We shopped for a bit and then got into line to tender back to the ship. The lines were long, it took about 45 minutes to get back on board. It was a three cold beers and one latrine kind of wait. :D

Wow, Very Cool!

Some harbor pictures just before leaving George Town:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ship left promptly at 4:00 PM.

After boarding the ship, we headed to our room to get ready for our second formal night. I got dressed into my tuxedo in just minutes and then annoyed my better half enough that she suggested I go get drinks for both of us. "Be back in a few minutes, love!" :p

 

We headed to dinner and joined our table mate, Kevin. Tonight's dinner was the Jasmine menu. Both Lisa and I ordered a Caesar salad, and I added my usual shrimp cocktail appetizer. Once again, fresh horseradish was brought to me without asking.

 

My taste buds salivated reading the menu; Lisa and I both went with the Fisherman’s Plate, broiled lobster tail, garlic shrimp and seasonal vegetables. It was quite palatable and full flavored.

 

Mine:

Hers:

 

 

Our surf dinner was missing something; turf! I quickly remedied that with a medium-rare prime rib:

 

 

It was just as tender and delicious as earlier in the week!

 

After dinner, we watched the sunset from our balcony. The rest of the evening was picture-less; "I take the 5th amendment..."

Just like a cruise, I am going to be sorry when this review ends!

I've never even considered a helicopter tour in Grand Cayman ... until I seen your photos :)

[gambler]

Now I think you are stuck in a Mexican jail or something.....

[Sarahspaghetti]

M_BA, we're getting worried!!

[hogwildcruzers]

This can't be the end!!

[kbubbles]

You do realize his cruise ended over a month ago, right? I think he's back to reality. You know, that sad place that we all must spend some time in so we can go on cruises. 😄

Never billed as a live report, so yea I picked up on that when his first post was after he returned. Just concerned because he was posting so regularly.

Patiently waiting...I hope that you find the time to come back and finish. :D I've done several trip reports on another site and I know how much work they are but hopefully you can squeeze in some time to get to the end.

Lol! I see you can't wait either - we're both on Liberty next April 30 - gotta get as much LOS as I can in the meantime. 😃

So excited for our first RCCL cruise on the Liberty! Thank you so much for the report & pictures! Now I just have to wait 200 more days :rolleyes:

[TXBBQDUDE]
