Best interior cabin on Liberty?

[firstcruiserDB]

As an experienced cruiser, I'm trying to help some friends of mine select a great cabin on the Liberty of the Seas.  I have never sailed in an inside cabin, and I'm at a loss as to how to help?  Do the same rules apply to the inside cabins, or are there other things I need to tell them?  Midship, cabins above and below, .....any thing else specific to the Liberty??  I've spent tons of time searching, but with no success. I will certainly appreciate any suggestions you can offer!  Thanks so much!

The same rules apply.  Avoid connecting cabins, be careful below pool decks, if sensitive to motion sickness stay low and in the center.

 

There are a handful of interior cabins that have been added over the past couple of years.  I stayed in one in 2018.  Since they are new(er) they have that feeling of being new compared to the same old interior that haven't been touched in a significant way for a long time.

 

Cabin 7441:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Contrast that to the style and decor of an older, original interior cabin on this class of ship.

I like deck 7 or 8 near the aft elevators.  Your friends might also consider a pricier promenade inside cabin near the aft elevators, but these cabins could be noisier during Royal Promenade events.  The “new” cabins looks like they are on deck 7 aft in the middle between the elevators and on deck 12 all the way forward.  The insides in the center aft hallways on decks 6,7 & 8 would tend to be quieter with less foot traffic.

Just curious, why aft versus the front of the ship?  Access to dining location?

We have stayed on the 3rd deck in 3549 and LOVED it! It was close to everything with no noise at all. We were by the elevators, stairs (which went straight to the casino and promenade) and the theatre. We would have booked it for our next cruise in March but we wanted to try out the interior promenade cabins this time.

I'm also curious why aft? I usually prefer to be near the forward elevators as they tend to be less crowded and almost no wait time. Also, close to the theater and solarium. I guess the trade-off is being further from the dining venues and sports  deck but I usually don't mind the longer walk. I need all the exercise I can get. lol

 

Having said that, I also recommend the promenade inside cabins. They are about 10% bigger, have light coming in from the promenade. Just don't forget to close the curtains when getting dressed and other activities as people can see right in.

 

Avoid deck 6 as it could be nosiy and rooms over Sorrento's as that is where the late night crowd will gather after the bars close.

 

EDIT: Also, the inside promenade cabin will have additional seating in the form of a small couch by the window,  although it's about as comfortable as sitting on a concrete wall.

Ask your friends to look at a Promenade cabin.  They are a great value, more comfortable, imo, than a tradition inside cabin, and their locations are great--midship, mid level.

  It’s funny how you get used to being in a particular part of a ship. We almost always book inside cabins at the front of the ship. I also like that the elevators are less used and are we like to walk down the promenade on our way to dinner in the evening. Our cruise in March we have aft inside cabins due to availability of connecting cabins that we need.   I hope I like the location but am a little nervous

Main Dining Room and Windjammer plus StudioB, Boleros, RBar, guest services, cafe promenade, pool deck, sports deck and Viking Crown.  I find that I spend little or no time in forward venues like the theater, conference center, or the spa and fitness center.

 

Decks 2 and 3 are certainly likely to be quiet, but they are not walk through decks.  If you are forward, you have to go to a higher deck to get aft and vice versa.  The Royal Promenade is the major indoor artery to do this, but it can be annoyingly crowded at times.

Because of Studio B, forward cabins on decks 2 and 3 are harder to navigate to back of the ship. I like the upper decks, prefer 8, near aft elevator for easier access to deck 11.  Just make sure you don't get connecting rooms because the one we were in only had a small chair, no love seat.

We also like deck 8 or 9 interiors which are typically nice and quiet with cabins above and below.  We typically book forward cabins(for no particular reason really).   If we are sailing with our kids, we love the connecting cabins.  It really opens up the space and it's great having two full bathrooms accessible to everyone.  If it is just my wife and I we definitely stay away from connecting cabins.

 

If I had to say why we choose forward, it would be the less used elevators, less chance of engine rumble, and that we like to walk the promenade and this forces us to do that on our way to dinner.  However, the aft of the ship is more convenient for just about everything (except the elevators are typically busier).
