cherylakers Posted November 10, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We too are going to book the TA in 2015. Would like to know how weather was this year. Any suggestions for things to do on the ship during the crossing? Thanks Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSCruiser Posted November 10, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2013 A second-hand report, but I've gotten some emails from onboard, and it was relatively smooth, and hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenseassailor Posted November 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We just got off Liberty on Nov 9th after crossing cruise. Weather was great for the 13 days. Smooth sailing except for a couple days but even they were not bad for Atlantic. We did southern route across which is better. We did have a big problem with dining room food. Mediocre at best and seldom hot when delivered to table. I am comparing the Liberty to Oasis food wise. We found food great and hot when on Oasis. This was our first and last cruise on "freedom class". We were in a grand suite that was under solarium and had to listen to lounge chairs being drug across tile floor all day and then at 3 to 5 am when deck hands were cleaning up there. Bars on Liberty had a wine by glass list but did not have the wines that were listed on it. By the way, this was our 74th cruise with 31 on them on RCCL and this was not a good experience. It was the ship and not the crossing. We love crossings and this was our 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb317 Posted November 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We just got off the Liberty yesterday also, and had a great cruise on Liberty. Our food in the MDR was always hot, for the most part we enjoyed it although there were a few dishes that I did not like. The rolls tasted like they had just come out of the oven, warm and yummy, and I am missing them today.:D We also thought the food in the WJ was better than usual, there were several Indian curries that I absolutely loved. This was our 30th cruise with RC but our first on Liberty. Out of our 4 TA's, this was the smoothest crossing yet! Sherri:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmprez Posted November 17, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 17, 2013 My wife and I sailed on this TA crossing. I totally agree with the posters who had positive experiences. We had a fantastic time and loved the Liberty. In fact we liked it so much that we have booked again on the 5 nighter on Dec 16th. Of course it helps that we live in South Florida!

Magicat Posted November 17, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It was an amazing crossing! We had talked with one of the beverage managers and were adivsed that the were running out of wine and beer a couple of days in to the cruise. The reason we were told was that it was one of the first TAs on the LOS that offered the drink package and they did not know what to expect. We had the most personable staff ever, thanks to Rich the CD and Jennifer one of the Beverage managers. This was our 3rd TA and the average temps were around 25 degrees everyday. We are just waiting for the TA's to come out for Oct 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhane's mum Posted November 17, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 17, 2013 We thought the crossing was awesome. Days 3 & 4 were choppy, but apart from that the Atlantic was very kind to us. The weather was hot, I can only remember one short rain shower. The water in our shower was hot at all times. I won't talk about the food as it is subjective. We stopped at Nassau instead of Cococay due to a medical emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarinaGW Posted November 17, 2013 #15 Share Posted November 17, 2013 We did the Eastbound TA April 2012. Love love Liberty. The only downside was losing an hour roughly every other night.
