Thoughts on my March 6 sailing of the Carnival Liberty
A few thoughts on my March 6, 2010 sailing of the Carnival liberty.
First off, thanks to Ray for coordinating this cruise and once again doing it excellently! This Carnival Liberty sailing, at about $125 per person, cruise fare only, for balcony accommodations, delivered excellent value... and it was fun! Having sailed on the sister ship Valor, we found the Liberty was maintained well in overall in good shape. "Your time dining": what they basically do is take the upper deck of one of the main dining rooms and use that for 'Your Time Dining". We enjoyed this flexibility, but the service was a little "rougher" than in the main dining room where you have the same waiters each night. Our wait times for a table ranged from immediately to 35 minutes on the first formal night... They give you a pager that covers the entire ship. The food quality was above average banquet food, complete with lobster tails, filet mignon, Châteaubriand... which were all prepared correctly. They seem to have scaled back some of the dessert selections from our prior sailing with Carnival... but they were all very good. "Camp Carnival": they do an excellent job, and are meticulous about daily sterilizing of all toys and games. The staff was incredibly accommodating and the added benefit of a phone was very helpful... In addition to calling the camp staff, you could use it as a house phone and call any extension on the ship... very helpful. The toddler in our group loved camp carnival. "Grand Turk": a new port for me. Carnival has cloned their Costa Maya village in Grand Turk ( or vice a versa)... basically they find a place on the beach where they can construct a pier far away from any other business establishments so they can direct the revenue stream of drinks, food and souvenirs back to the ship's cash registers as they take commission on all sales within the village. It has a very nice pool which is adjacent to Margaritaville, the flow-rider and the beach... all of this is right next to the pier. There was a total of two ships in Grand Turk that day and it was crowded... We definitely enjoyed our time on the "Fun Ship" Liberty... but I think for our next cruise were going to make it an "Epic" voyage. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. jay Mon Mar 22, 2010 |
