Just thought that I'd chime in as I've already sailed on 'Libby' as my hubby and I call her, and she is a *beautiful* ship. We loved everything about it, except my pesky friend and her stepdaughter that were in our JS with us, ha, ha! We had a good time, it was just too much for us and them to be together for a whole week :)
Anyway, I felt that we had great service and great food, but the weather wasn't wonderful *lol* Oh well, can't blame that on the ship, right?!
Lovely ship, we wanted to take our 10th Anniversary cruise on her, but we couldn't sail on the 13th due to my cousin's wedding, so, we'll be trying out Freedom this fall, instead.
To those cruising on Libby, you're in for a treat. The shows were amazing, the food in the dining rooms was as good as ever and the royal promenade with a 24hr Pizza Shop rocks! :)
I'd say SEE THE ICE SHOW! It's really incredible, and the best seats are just as you walk into the rink, because that's the 'front'. All of the shows are great, but what we really loved was the Solarium pool area. No one under 16 allowed!! You have to get there early to get chairs, and the Cantilevered whirlpools fill up from time to time, but it's so cool to be just out there, over the ocean. We watched a sunset from the Solarium deck, and it was spectacular! The best place for sunrises, if they let you up there that early, is the bow of the ship. It's also the best place for stargazing if they let you up there at night. When we were on Explorer, we were able to go up to the bow at night, but not on Voyager nor last time on Libby. For eating, I'd say stick with the dining rooms and Johnny Rockets as well as the Pizza place on the promenade. The breakfasts in the room aren't that good, mostly the eggs and stuff are cold before you get them and the selection is limited. The buffet in Jade/Windjammer is just that...a buffet.
And yes, there will be plenty for a kiddo to do, lots of other teens/tweens and lots of staff to keep them entertained!
Oh, and 1st cruise day? Forget about eating within a reasonable amount of time, everyone was trying to get in when we were there because no one could get into their rooms until after 1pm. Eat at the airport in the morning, and bring food with you to eat at the cruiseport so that you're not starving and with the masses trying to crowd into Windjammer/Jade at noon!!
