Liberty of the Seas Review with lots of pictures

[Janet Foster]

They had different kinds of food every where. Like I said it was very crowded. Probably the worst I have seen since we had been on this ship but I believe it was because it was so windy up on deck plus it was a sail day.

 

We decided to head for a less crowded place, Johnny Rockets. (small cover charge)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Small cover charge and right when you sit down you are handed a plate full of onion rings and fries. They keep them coming too! The food is very good and the waiters do a song and dance.

 

 

 

 

Because it was sooooooooooo windy up top and soooooooooo crowded in the main areas we decided it was a good time to head back to our cabins and pack. So we all took a break to do that. We were going to meet up at the Flowrider for the Flowrider Surf Championships. Five men competed for the title.

 

 

 

After that was over we walked around the golf area, basketball area and rock climbing areas.

This is the best review I have seen in awhile. I don't want it to end.:D

Enjoying the trip report. Sounds like you all are a fun bunch.

[Janet Foster]

We watched the water for a bit. Couldn’t stand the wind too much.

 

 

Here is our group.

 

 

 

So what should we do? Let’s go drink up the rest of the liquor we had brought with us in our “Rum Runners”. We had brought a magic bullet blender with us so we were making frozen Pina Coladas.

 

 

 

 

 

The TV was set on the front of the ship.

As the trip was winding down so was our energy. After all we are in our 50’s. We decided not to eat in the dining room that last night. We would just go to the Windjammer for our dinner. As it turned out it was Asian night so that worked out perfectly for us. We got in the elevator and headed for the Windjammer. They changed the dates on the floor of the elevator each day so it really helped us to remember what day it was.

 

 

 

Our last dinner together...

 

 

That evening in the Windjammer we got to see the best sunset of the cruise!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone in the restaurant broke out in applause after the sun had set.

[Janet Foster]

We ended our last meal with this song…

 

Which included these "cast members", I am sure you know the song.

 

 

 

With Gillian

 

 

 

The Skipper too….

 

 

 

The millionaire

 

 

 

And his wife…

 

 

 

A movie star…

 

[Janet Foster]

The professor’s "wife" and

 

 

 

 

 

Mary Ann

 

And the rest are here on Liberty of the Seas!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

After dinner. We went to the casino to loose some more money. Went and said goodbye to our room attendants. My room key and my sister’s room key were not working so I had to go wait in a long line at the front desk to get it reactivated and the only way to get it reactivated is to make a whole new key. Seemed crazy but oh well. The casino was very CROWDED!!! So was the Photo Gallery.

 

We put our luggage outside our room at the required time between 7pm and 11pm. We again settled in one of the cabins for some drinks before saying our goodbyes to some of us and heading to bed on our final night. It was indeed sad seeing all the suitcases sitting out in the hallway.

 

[Janet Foster]

We got up in the morning and got ready to get off the boat for some reason we didn’t get our call so we were late compared to others. After the night of rough waters we woke up to the smooth bay in Miami. Right where we started from.

 

 

 

 

As it turned out the others in our group were down in the waiting area at 6:30am. We didn’t get off the ship until 7:30am so we bypassed all of that waiting and met up with them out on the curb. It was a very smooth process getting off the ship. It amazed me as we were walking down the hallway that a lot of the rooms were already made up for the next cruise. (CLOROX WIPES!!!!) Boy they sure move fast.

 

 

 

 

We got our luggage and went out very fast. One of the couples in our group was randomly selected to have their entire luggage searched by “Customs Officials”. That meant that all of the suitcases were opened and searched. Yes you got it. IT was the couple who had the “Pirates of the Caribbean” party. Everyone including the officials got a big laugh out of the wigs and costumes, chains and hats.

 

We managed to get a van to take us all to the airport. There were lots of them waiting for people.. just beyond the cab stand. The porters know where to take you for sure!!!

 

 

 

We said our sad goodbyes and talked about how we can’t wait until we all take our next cruise. Possibly in 2011. Can we count on you to join us???? It was a great trip!!! THE END

 

 

I will be happy to sign autographs or answer questions...

 

Just kidding about the autographs..... Whew.. I am tired!!:eek:

[Pitbull1130]

I'm almost as sorry to see the week end as you are. I can't believe the effort that went into those parties. Fun group for sure! Thanks for taking us along.

[KatieGator]

Janet,

I'm giving a final exam to my college class and am sure enjoying passing the time reading your review. Hey do you guys want to come on the LOS with me for my 50th Birthday party in September? You look like a fun group!!! I stopped reading at the theme parties, but can't wait to continue..............

[Janet Foster]

May I ask what Van Service you used?? and keep the review coming! We leave in under 3 weeks!

I did have some stickers that the driver gave us so that we could call him when we returned to Miami and I can't find them.. UGH..

 

So I would just call the Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon and ask the front desk there who they use for their port transportation, I am sure they would pass their number along to you.

 

Hampton Inn = (305) 262-5400

Great review Janet sorrow we missed you guys on board.

 

Could you please tell me how to post a pic on here? Every time I try it will not work.

[Janet Foster]

:DI am glad you have all enjoyed reading this. I had a lot of fun reliving it as I posted it.

 

I also posted it on the REVIEW BOARD but that is without pictures.

 

For those of you who are going on LOS have a great time, if I can help you with anything let me know. I have a great packing list too. I was the designated group cruise director. I even got two gifts sent to me when I got home.. HA HA..

 

Dana you crack me up reading this while your poor students are taking their exam.. HA HA..

 

OK.. I am off to eat dinner... and will check back later.. Will help you with your download of pictures as soon as I can.

Great review. Your group sounds like it is a blast!! That's the way my family is when we are together. Anyway, thanks for making the review so much fun to read. I felt like I was there with you.

[Janet Foster]

You are welcome. I took over 1,000 pictures.... so with my pictures and those pictures from my friends I tried to recapture the moment!

[Janet Foster]

Great review Janet sorrow we missed you guys on board.

 

Could you please tell me how to post a pic on here? Every time I try it will not work.

You have to either start a new thread or hit POST REPLY to post the pictures. I think click on the file attachement (looks like a paper clip) then I hit browse to find my picture that I have downloaded on my computer. You are only allowed to download five at a time which is why my review was so many postings. After you have downloaded your five then I click on the body of my text where I want my picture to appear. After I click on the area then I click on that file attachement (looks like a paper clip) and click on the picture I want to attach. Hope this helps. Does anyone else have a better reply??

[embrew9]

Great job Janet, it made me re-live the fun we had...everyone NEEDS to go with other couples...it was such a blast, the themed happy hours were so much fun...and thank you to Janet for having the tee-shirts made for us, its something we will all treasure forever....

 

Yes we all are FUN people, we all went to the Eastern Caribbean previously, but I must say this one was the best....maybe next time not the Aft as you kind of miss seeing the islands when you pull up to them....but the Liberty of the Sea was very nice...

 

Janet should be awarded Cruise Director of the year...the blow by blow of the entire cruise was so accurate, I was getting sea sick again...haaaaaaaa

[Janet Foster]

Very nice Miss Donna!!

[Jacquelyn11]

We are sailing LOS in June and can't wait! Also have our first aft cabin this time, (7708, corner aft) but won't get to go to Coz :(

 

My DH and I will be in our 50's starting this year :eek: but still have DS's in HS. I hope we will be able to hook up with a fun group like yours in a few years!! Ya'll seem to have alot of fun together!!

 

Again, great pics and review!

 

Jacquelyn :D

[Ltvscout]

Janet,

 

Thanks for taking the time to put together that nice pictorial review.

 

A couple of questions. Did the Hampton you stayed at have a free airport shuttle?

 

How did you like the aft cabins? Did you have any issues with vibration or soot or cigarette butts on the balcony?

 

How obstructed was your view on the aft balconies?
