Carnival Cruise Lines - Liberty Reviews

My 7 days on the Carnival Liberty were excellent!  Carnival staff is always friendly and ready to serve.  The food is always top quality.  My itenerary included Belize, Costa Maya, Cozumel and Nassau.  The shore excursion selection is good and the quality of the hosts is very high.  Expect to have a lot of fun.  My biking tour in Belize got rained out, but Carnival was quick to refund the cruise and offer alternative selections.  The ship has plenty to do whether you are a family, or a couple looking for a romantic evening. — Whenever possible, I… read full review »

I have only been on one cruise, which was over the summer.  My wife and I went on the Carnival Liberty Cruise.  It was absolutely amazing: everything we could've wanted plus more!  The food was incredible.  There were so many choices and you could get food any time of day.  They had everything from buffets, to pizza & burgers, to deli sandwiches, to Asian food, to a fancy restaurant.  There was something there for everyone, including healthier choices for those who are concerned.  My wife and I are not big drinkers so we purchased a card for soft… read full review »

The new Carnival Liberty is a beautiful ship!   Unfortunately, the beauty and design does not match the service, food quality, and accessibility.    If it weren't for our stateroom attendant, the word "service" would not exist on this ship.  Food quality was poor....especially for the acclaimed Master Chef Georges Blanc menu!   I would have to say this was a "money" ship.   They get you on cheap, stuff you in smaller rooms, and then make you spend alot more later....you should see our bill!   Yes, this cruise was cheaper than other… read full review »

A couple of friends, my daughter and I took this cruise in early Dec. 2007.  It was great!  The ship is beautiful!  Our room had a big balcony, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the amenities were exceptional.  We truly enjoyed the shows.  They were very entertaining and carried out beautifully.  There were more than enough activities to keep us busy all day and evenings.  We enjoyed the movies at night on the Lido deck, and all the dancing!  The pools were a little on the small side, but there were 3 of them and they were never so crowded that… read full review »

I went on my first cruise this year and I must say I am hooked!!!  I am going on another next year.  — — The only thing I did not like was the nickel and diming the that went on sometime.  Come on I have to pay for $1  popcorn while watching a movie on the Lido deck.  That  was a bit much. — — The embarking process is bad if you wait late I am so glad i listen to the people at my hotel and got on early and did not have to wait long in the 101 lines it seemed like to get on the ship. — — The food on the ship was out of this… read full review »

The Carnival line of cruise ships is among the very best. I will say though that Carnival may not be the correct fit for the person that is looking for a laid back and maybe even quiet cruise. This cruise line is geared more for the younger party crowd. Most familes would want to look elsewhere. The entertainment is non stop on this party boat!! No matter what you are looking for, they have something for everyone.. From gambeling to clubs it's all there.. A word to the wise, don't go looking to gamble while the boat is in port, you will be disappointed. The ship will only open the casino when… read full review »

This was my first cruise and if this is the standard, I will never cruise again.  The staff was not friendly and the entertainment was beyond corny.  Being paired to sit with others at dinner is one thing, but my friend and I were seated with a couple who were much older and on a romantic cruise - not my idea of good pairing.  The cruise line obviously makes money by providing all the sight-seeing to the islands because it was almost impossible to get around without paying for the cruise line's canned tours.  The ship itself was in good condition and quite… read full review »

I can't say enough wonderful things about Carnival Cruise Lines in general, but this cruise topped them all.  I went to Tortola, Puerto Rico, Nassau, St. Maarteen, and Antigua and never had a dull moment onboard.  The staff was amazing throughout the cruise and very willing to help with any situation.  The rooms were great, beds were comfortable, large balcony, spacous room all together.  The kids loved the cruise and Camp Carnival and the adults loved the shows and the casino! I would definitely reccommend this cruise to anyone who loves to… read full review »

The dining room service was horrific.  They have the servers singing (completely out of tune) and dancing (some innapropriately), while 3/4 of the dining room have their food, and the other 1/4 is now waiting incredibly inpatiently for their food.  —  The woman at the deli sandwich station was handling lettuce without gloves and wearing nail polish.  —  We had a light out in the room, it took 3 days before anything was done about it.  — Not a good experience. —… read full review »

If you want a relaxing vacation and you want to get what you pay for, go on a Cruise with Carnival. You not only get to see beautiful water, but you get to see the amazing attractions that the luxurious ship will take you to. — You can meet new people and eat amazing food served every night. — The room service is great and the crew and staff are very willing to help with whatever you… read full review »

I loved the Carnival Liberty. I took it for the eastern caribbean cruise and enjoyed the frequent port stops. I am not a fan of "lame days at sea". The staff was really friendly and the food was great. The beds are VERY comfortable and are in spacious cabins compared to others i have been in.  The piano bar is great and the theatre entertainers are excellent. There are plenty of lounge chairs for sunbathing. —  Cons- Be prepared to wait in line for hours to board. The port is in an old shipyard warehouse so it was not built to handle the number of people for the floor… read full review »

After traveling on Princess, it was a step down to go on Carnival.  While the ship was actually more fun and I enjoyed the public areas more than I enjoyed those on Princess, the food wasn't as good and the rooms were not as nice.  The balcony room we had was big, but the actual balcony was small.  It also did not extend beyond the hull, which was disappointing.  The freebies in the bathroom were nice. the menu was not as good and did not offer as many options as Princess. —… read full review »

We a frequent cruisers, actually ever other year we sail with Carnival.  We sailed on the Liberty April of this year.  The ship was awesome.  Friendliest staff we have had on a ship so far.  The food is getting better with the newer ships.  We did precheck in so boarding the ship was a breeze.  No compliants at all with Carnival.  Infact we will be sailing again in April 2009 with… read full review »
