Liberty Of The Seas Review
Review of Liberty Of The Seas
The 2007-built Liberty of the Seas is the second Freedom-class Royal Caribbean ship, together with Freedom OTS and Independence OTS.
History - construction and ownership
Casino On Harmony Of The Seas Refurbishment
Royal Caribbean International (RCI) is a US company, trademarked brand and subsidiary owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCCL, shipowner). RCI was established in 1968 and currently has over 1/5 of the worldwide cruise market. RCI also has RCCL's largest fleet as both numbers of vessels and GT tonnage (ship sizes and capacities). All Royal Caribbean liners have names ending with 'of the Seas'.
The 4370-passenger ship Liberty OTS went into her first drydock in 2011. During the multimillion-dollar refit, the ship gained new features that first emerged on Oasis of the Seas, including a big-name stage show, a nursery for the youngest cruisers, an outdoor movie screen and cupcake bakery. New technology knowhow was placed in the form of interactive TVs and digital deck plan systems, located throughout the Liberty to help guests navigate by using LCD touch-screens for customized directions, ship factoids and real-time updates. Liberty of the Seas also boasts all the Freedom-class favourites, including popular onshore brands like Johnny Rockets and Ben and Jerry's, cruising's only ice rink, a rock-climbing wall, the novel 'Promenade' concept and Boleros Latin lounge.
At the beginning of 2016 Royal Caribbean's cruise ship, Liberty of the Seas has undergone an extensive dry dock revitalization. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the new features to be constructed, such as the Splashaway Bay waterpark, The Perfect Storm water slides and new dining options at Giovanni's Italian, Sabor Mexican restaurant, and more.
Cruise itinerary program
Liberty of the Seas itinerary program is based on 7-day Western Caribbean cruises from Galveston, Texas. During summer, Liberty sails to Canada and Bermuda from Bayonne, New Jersey. Feature port destinations include Belize, Jamaica, Roatan, Grand Cayman and Cozumel Mexico.
Cabins
Liberty Of The Seas has a total of 1815 cabins (of which 120 Suites, 724 Balcony rooms, 529 adjoining) in 28 grades. Most of the Liberty of the Seas staterooms are 185-200-sq.foot balcony rooms and 160-sq.foot insides (557). 32 are the wheelchair-accessible rooms. The largest aboard Liberty of the Seas are the Royal Suites (1360 ft2).
Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks
The 3-deck-high dining room on Liberty of the Seas accommodates nearly 4,000 guests per night. Passengers choose between assigned dining and Royal Caribbean's My Time Dining program, in which guests pick a preferred mealtime between 6 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. but can change reservations on a daily basis. Those who opt for My Time Dining have to prepay gratuities. Each floor of the MDR is named after a Renaissance master - Rembrandt, Michelangelo and Botticelli - and a huge crystal chandelier towers over the restaurant. Meals are satisfactory and there is always 'Chef's Signature Selection'. The separate Vitality menu is offered for the calorie-conscious and equals the rest of the menu in size and taste (vegetarian options are sprinkled throughout).

Liberty Of The Seas Wiki
Liberty OTS is fleet's 2nd Freedom-Class liner, with sisterships Freedom and Independence. Liberty was built in 2007 by Aker Finnyards Shipyard (Turku, Finland). This shipyard was later acquired by STX Europe (a subsidiary of the South Korean multinational STX Corporation). Ship's godmother was Donnalea Madeley. She was elected from about 2500 female travel agents, who had shown fondness of social causes. Donnalea Madeley is from Ontario, and the first travel agent to win such a position (usually given to VIPs). The christening ceremony was held at PortMiami on May 18, 2007.
The inaugural cruise (maiden voyage) was a 7-day Caribbean itinerary starting on May 19. Liberty OTS had some special pre-inaugural cruises before the liner arrived in Miami. The first was the Transatlantic crossing (Southampton to NYC New), the second - repositioning from NYC to Miami (visiting several US East Coast ports).
Like all newly refurbished RCI ships, Liberty offered the DreamWorks Experience (2011-2018). Liberty OTS is an 'Art Nouveau' decorated modern cruise liner. Passengers will be amazed by the mixing coloured light projections on broken or hanging canvasses created by the unique digital art celebrity Miguel Chevalier. All the rest is totally Royal Caribbean - the feature entertainment options with great shows, grand Vegas-style productions, the 'ice-skating and rock-climbing', numerous themed bars and lounges, modern facilities to spend quality time on board.
Liberty OTS refurbishment 2016 review
During ship’s drydock 2016 refurbishment (January 10 - February 6), Royal Caribbean added a group of 3 waterslides on Deck 13 aft (near the Flowrider simulator). The Aqua Park (lido deck 11) has a new kids-only water playground area called “Splashaway Bay”.
Liberty OTS is the first Freedom-class RCI ship with waterslides. The first ever Royal Caribbean ship originally built with slides is Harmony of the Seas (launched 2016) with a total of 4 water slides.
The list of deck plan changes after the 2016 drydock refurbishment includes:
- (On deck 2) 3 inside cabins were removed (numbers 2405, 2403, 2401).
- (On deck 3) the Catacombs (218-seats Disco Nightclub, level 1) was replaced with 19 new interior cabins. Also here, 4 new interior cabins were added near the Art Gallery (starboard). Both lounges Bernini (portside) and Velasquez (starboard) were replaced with 10 new oceanview staterooms. Dining Room restaurant was renamed from Rembrandt to “Main Dining Room” (level 1).
- (On deck 4) the Catacombs disco (level 2) was replaced by the Sabor Modern Mexican (restaurant). Also here, Dining Room restaurant was renamed from Michelangelo to “Main Dining Room” (level 2).
- (On Promenade deck 5) the show lounge was renamed from “The Sphynx” to “Star Lounge”. Also here, the Champagne Bar (wine bar) was replaced by R-Bar. Dining Room restaurant was renamed from Botticelli to “Main Dining Room” (level 3). Cupcake Cupboard (bakery) was added.

(20-seats burger bar) was replaced with the “Tidal Wave” slide (Boomerang-type). While the waterslide structure was ready after the ship’s refurbishment, its opening was re-scheduled for June 2016 due to some initial design flaws discovered after the slide’s installation. The design was altered by adding padding for the impact areas of the slide.
- (On deck 14) both portside multipurpose rooms – Cloud Nine (24-seats) and Seven Hearts (33-seats) were replaced with Suite Lounge.
