83Heritage Posted September 30, 2013 #51 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I was curious if you had more pictures of San Cristobal on your Facebbok, I only made it to El Morro when I was there. I sent a friend request on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smplyblessed619 Posted September 30, 2013 #53 Share Posted September 30, 2013 What a great review! I'm looking at taking this cruise in November 2014 (this or the one on the Glory). Thanks for taking the time to post! I'll have to come check out your other photos of the ports & ship if that's okay on FB. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutumnBM Posted September 30, 2013 Author #54 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Enjoyed your review very much! We will be on this same itinerary in December and I've been reading every Liberty review that I can find. Loved all the photos and especially the food porn!:D This will be our fourth cruise with Carnival and I have to say that I have never been disappointed with their food! Thanks again! I've never been disappointed either. Well, not in a huge way. I always enjoy their food & if I don't? Well then there's plenty more options ;) Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you have an excellent cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutumnBM Posted September 30, 2013 Author #55 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Loved reading this review! Will be on Liberty next year and am trying to get acquainted with the ship as much as possible. Haven't quite put my finger on the theme the designer was going for but still looks interesting. I also took a peak at your photos on your FB page from last year as well. Loved seeing the photos of Magic you took while parked next to her. Brought back some memories of our Jan. cruise and a different perspective of the ship. You seem to capture the places that DH and I hung out the most while on that cruise. lol On my bucket list is to try the glass stair case if I ever get on a Spirit Class ship. I'm terrified of heights but a "face your fear" sort of thing. Thanks for sharing and glad you had a good cruise. Feel free to look as much as you'd like. I think my Legend pics are public, not too sure. The glass stair case was something I wanted to do sooo bad but once I got there I got really nervous lol & didn't want to stand on it for too long!! Thank you so much :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyshoreBruce Posted October 1, 2013 #62 Share Posted October 1, 2013 In San Juan I knew exactly what I wanted to do - I was going to the forts. The in laws did their thing (still no idea what they actually did) because my FIL was not EVEN going to do all that walking so it was just Jordan, Matt, & I. It was HOT!! But nice! We had a great breeze too. Later on in the day, we hit a freak rainstorm that helped A LOT in cooling us off but not so much in cleaning us off. We all looked pretty gross by day's end. I was walkin' around lookin' like Tan Mom & Matt sweated through his 30 layers of clothes he wore. If you don't know who Tan Mom is I will provide you with this lovely image : You're welcome. Anyways, onto our day! Of course - breakfast. The most important meal of the day ya know! Which is why I had more french toast lol San Juan was an EASY port to navigate! We docked right there at the Carnival port. As soon as you're out of the port you actually have a pretty decent view of San Cristobal so with the help of our phones we found out how to get there. YES there is a TON of walking involved if you choose to do the forts. I figured we'd only do one fort but ,no, Jordan decided we should do both (no complaints, they were awesome!) - but yeah, if you're traveling with older people or ,heck, even babies I would not choose both forts. I probably wouldn't do either fort, actually. We actually saw both people packing their toddlers AND helping those in wheelchairs so it's definitely doable but it did NOT look easy. Plus, I'm lazy so heck no. It doesn't help that I'm out of shape. ^When I was still looking normal. The day had just begun. ^"It smells like urine in here" - me "Could be because you're in a homeless person's urinal" - Jordan :mad: It always smells like urine in there.......people are pigs.....love your review!

AutumnBM Posted October 1, 2013 Author #63 Share Posted October 1, 2013 :mad: It always smells like urine in there.......people are pigs.....love your review! Yes they are. After I said that Jordan says to me "I can't believe you stepped inside that thing!" -- well how was I supposed to know that's what people did in there?! So nasty. Lesson learned though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isasprings Posted October 1, 2013 #64 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Thank you for the review I just booked today for Nov 9,2013 my first balcony Yay:) I live in Miami the price was very cheap I wanted to go on the Breeze but is was more expensive maybe next year......... I can't wait for my liberty cruise and my imagination Halloween cruise:) Edited October 1, 2013 by Isasprings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanLuver Posted October 2, 2013 #65 Share Posted October 2, 2013 [/url] Now as for my spa appoint - I have booked a spa appointment every cruise except one. We always cruise around our anniversary or my birthday so Jordan likes (well, "likes" may be exaggerating it a bit) to splurge & let me pick out a package I'd like. I always get the same thing - the "Top to Toe" package. It has a full body exfoliation, like 7 different massages (arms, neck, back, shoulder, foot, leg, scalp), & a facial. I love it. I always end up falling asleep on the table. However, 2 things. 1) There's always a product pitch at the end. No, as a matter of fact, I DON'T need the $44 camel hair exfoliating brush for my dry skin and ,NO, I don't need the $74 (YEP!) bottle of "Milk Bath" lotion. I should've snapped a pic of the card she gave me with her suggestions & the totals. Omg, ridiculous. 2) With this visit, they have added a mandatory automatic 15% gratuity. I am not cheap nor am I a greedy tipper but I wasn't cool with this at all. I was told I could remove it if I wanted to but when I received my receipt to sign, it was already there & added to my total. Next up, last sea day & VIFP party! Our last cruise I was prepared for their sales pitch post-massage but it worse than I imagined. They were trying to sell me a product called "Fat Girl Slim"! Not something you want someone to suggest after laying naked in front of them for the past hour!:o Also, I sent you a FB friend request (Sheryl Reynolds) as I would love to see more of your pics! We are sailing on the Liberty 11/16! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I've heard of "Fat Girl Slim" & yes, not something I would want pitched to me either.

rob6465 Posted October 2, 2013 #68 Share Posted October 2, 2013 ^BAM! My red-face snuck up on ya! ^Put this in here so you can see the slope you walk on. Some were REALLY steep (bad idea for us sandal wearers), some were nearly nothing. Then you had the stair areas. At one spot in El Morro the steps were TALL and at least 5 flights. I'm not kidding. My legs were like jelly after those. ^The entrance to our 2nd fort. El Morro. The first fort I never really found a nice "opening view" angle. El Morro I have some pics from the insides as well but ,honestly, I found the outside views to be way better. If you'd like to see them they are on my Facebook page. It's private but I always add CC members - just shoot me a message if you'd like. I was born in Puerto Rico and have not been there since 1998. Want to take a cruise that stops in san juan so wife can visit my birthplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghsteelerfan Posted October 3, 2013 #72 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I started reading your review the other day and just finished today. We were on the same itinerary on Carnival Glory three years ago and loved it. It was nice reliving our cruise through your review and you really got some beautiful pictures. I loved the two in St. Thomas (first one from the ship looking at the funnel when docked and the other at the overlook), and my favorite is the one in San Juan of the ship from the fort - that one is just beautiful.
