Statue of Ponce de Leon under renovation.

you can only see two of the nuns here but there were hundreds of them.

First food stop

This is what we ate. The pastry was light and sweet. The coffee tasted a little like cuban coffee. Its sweeten with brown sugar. Both were good.

Hubby purchasing coffee at the resturant.

We did more touring after coffee and pastry.

A Catholic Church

Inside of the Church. While I was taking this pic my family was outside calling me to come outside. When I did, there was a large group of nuns following a hearse. we asked the tour guide was was going on. She said this was done when a dignitary dies. She didnt know who it was though. Sorry tried but didnt get a shot of the nuns. They walked very fast. I think my hubby has it on his cell phone. If so,Imay post it later.

The tour's first food taste was at a small but chic coffee shop type resturant. I thought we were getting tastes of some of Puerto Rico cruisine but we had meals!:eek:

If you're thinking about taking this tour, go hungry.

I am LOVING your review :) Thanks for posting. I'm getting married on the Liberty next year and love seeing all of the pictures and reading about what people do in various ports.

Thank you for reading. I was skeptical about writing a cruise review but I told myself I should at lease give it a try since I always read other folks' reviews when I'm planning a cruise.

One of the cobblestone streets

I dont remember the name of this place but it reminds me of the Citadel military college at home. I know, its a shame not to remember the name of sites you paid to see.

Next port- Old San Juan.

What can I say about Old San Juan? It's gorgeous, picturesque, clean, peaceful and different from any other port I've ever cruised to. We really enjoyed our too short hours in OSJ.

I reserved the Spoon Food/ Morning walk tour for our day in OSJ. Great tour. We took a cab to the meeting place and waited along with two other tourists (sisters from Chicago who flew in and spent the week there). The tour guide came right on time, introduced ourselves and we were on our way.

One of the historical forts. We didnt enter either one, by choice.

DD and DS having fun in that COLD water!!!

Hubby not looking at all excited in this pic. He's not much of a beach lover.

My two babies! They grow up so fast!

Great review and pictures! Beautiful family, glad you had a great cruise!

Time to end here. Computer is extremely slow.

Food here is a bit pricey

Lifeguard getting snorkel gears for my son.

The last stop of the tour was to a beach of the tour group's choice. The majority voted for Meagans Bay. I wanted Coki but the tour guide sounded like Meagan's was the better choice. The kids enjoyed the water, it was too cold for me We were there for a couple hours before returning to the ship.

The second stop on tour was at the famous Banana Dacquari spot. Mr. Liston gave us a bit of history about

St Thomas and neigboring islands. It was also a huge tourist trap for spending more money on stuff, and of course my husband couldnt resist buying a banana dacquari.

Check out the price of their gas. Yikes!!!

View of our ship Miss Liberty and Celebrity

Beautiful scene but my nerves were shot getting up there on the tour bus!

St Thomas starte out rainey but it turned out to be a nice day. We took the Sunny Liston island, shopping and beach tour. It was a great tour. A little scarey but good. Scarey because Sunny drove pretty fast up those steep mountains and winding curves but we survived thank God!

After picking us up from ship pier, our first stop was at a market with lots of vendors selling souvenires. It was raining but we did manage to buy a few things.

I will break here for awhile. I promise to finish this port tonight.

Next stop- St. Thomas U.S.V.I

TV monitor. On our way to St.Thomas baby!!

I am loving your review. And what a nice looking family you are.:)

 

I went on the best cruise and vacation of my life with my Mom on the Liberty wayyyyyy back in 2009. Still, I remember those changing light colors in the atrium. It is nice to revisit some of those places with your review.

 

Thanks for posting it.

This is offered to those who attend the Pampered Lady Party. Not sure if its offered any other time during the cruise.

Massage bed aftera wonderful massage. Another FIRST on a cruise ship!:)

Ladies, if you are interested in the onboard spa massage services, I encourage you to attend the Free Ladies Pamper Party as my daughter and I did. On this cruise it was held at 12:30 on the first sea day in the Cabinet room. I do remember us moving to a different room because there was a wedding ceremony going on in that room and it was past the reserved time I suppose. Not only that but there were so many women for this party, that small room would not have been held us. A couple of the spa staff taught us about facial products and how to apply them, using their samples. At the end of the seminar, you are able to sign up for any 3 massages for $99! The massages are for anyone you want to include, not just for those who attended the seminar/party. Good Deal! We took advantage of that deal and enjoyed it.

Enjoying your review and wonderful photo's, Certainly looks like your having a good time.

Thank you. We did have a good time.

You have a beautiful family! :)

Aaahhhh thank you.

Pretty changing lights on chandeliers. They look much smaller live.

Son in front of lights turning purple. Dont know why his forehead looks like that on this pic. Must of been something on the lens.:confused:

Lobster dinner before I devoured it. Best meal in the Main Dining Room. My opinion.

Me when the lights are blue.

Hi guys, thought I would post this pic while I'm on a short break at work. This is a pic one of the photos we purchased on the cruise ship. This is the first elegant night.

Next day was Sea Day and one of two Elegant Nights.

All I remeber is that we slept in late and ate Lobster. By this time or maybe the day before, we only saw our son at dinner and at ports of call. He did join us for a couple of shows and watched a movie on the big poolside screen with his sister. He was too busy with his new found ship friends! Which was good. He LOVES cruising because he can stay out until the wee hours partying at the teen club and eating pizza.

I will show pics tomorrow. Getting a little late. If you have questions do ask. Good night yall!

That's about all we did on this Bahamas trip.

We arrived at the meeting place for the segway tour too early, I had the tour time mixed up:eek:Oh well better to be too early than too late! Anyway we utilized the extra time by walking around the downtown area. It was a Sunday so there wasnt much going on. We went into a couple of shops for souvenires.

After the segway tour, their cab driver drove us back to the ship. It was a fun day.
