Liberty of the Seas

On May 14th, we boarded the brand new Liberty of the Seas from Royal Caribbean in Miami. We were fortunate to be able to attend a special 2 night preview cruise to nowhere and the ship did not disappoint.

The ship is currently one of the largest at sea, equaling her sister ship, Freedom of the Seas. Front to back she is almost 1200 feet long and over 200 feet high which is remarkable for a vessel that holds over 4000 people. Yet she is so large, you still do not feel crowded and there are plenty of places to sit and unwind.

The 4 story promenade that runs through the ship is one of the highlights and to see it in person is an amazing sight and sensual overload. It is incredible to believe that you are on a moving ship and not in a mall on the strip.

As with all things Royal Caribbean, the service and food are always top notch. The entertainment is quite professional and enjoyable and the casino always is a place of interest if you enjoy a little flirtation with Lady Luck.

As with any new ship the rooms that have balconies are definitely the most demanding, but having a room that overlooks the Royal Promenade is just as exciting and quite spacious.

Of course, the ships FlowRider is the centerpiece of the ship, but she also boasts an ice skating rink, rock climbing wall, mini-golf, full-size basketball court and many other amenities that are too numerous to list.

If you want to be active or just relax, this ship offers something for everyone. An engineering marvel and also just a fun place to be. Check her out sometime, you will be glad you did, I know we were.
