seannyice81 Posted November 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hello everyone! The time has come again for another review! This was an excellent cruise on Carnival Liberty, 11/1/2015. From San Juan to St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten. I've done this itinerary before, but I had good reasons to do it again. Liberty was the first ship I sailed on, and I was in the company of 100+ friends. Many things made this an excellent and interesting cruise, but here are a quick rundown of things I'll cover. -Cruising with diet restrictions -Cruise AND air totaling <$750 -Cruising with a large group -What happens when you're nice to people -Other passengers "having a good time" with tour guides. -Nevis -Turles, Shipwrecks, Octopus, parrots, eels, and monkeys -Hiccups in San Juan In the meantime, I'll tide you over with 3 photos! Coming soon! I have A LOT of photos AND videos to sort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tapi Posted November 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Liberty is my favorite Carnival ship. Thanks in advance for the review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pghsteelerfan Posted November 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Love your reviews!!! I'm really looking forward to this one since this is my favorite itinerary. We weren't going to cruise again this year but I'd been "arm twisting" DH and we ended up doing this itinerary again, on Liberty, this past September and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to your review, great pictures, and reliving our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted November 9, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Looking forward to review and pics. Liberty is my favorite ship. Wished she was back on Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted November 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yay! I knew someone from that group would write a review! I really wanted to sail with everyone again, but with already having Bermuda booked on 10/23, I just couldn't quite manage it. So I "settled" for the 11-night Sunshine Journeys at the end of the month. Maybe next year. I'm assuming that everyone is already planning on another San Juan cruise, right? :D Looking forward to your thoughts on Nevis. I tried so hard to get people interested in going there when I sailed Conquest on 5/31 but had no luck. This time, we're going! Booked through Thenford Grey, who I've toured with twice in St Kitts.

JohnSpo Posted November 9, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) I plan on booking this itinerary out of San Juan for April 2017 while I am on Conquest next week. The ship changes to the Fascination. Bummer, Liberty is my favorite ship. Hopefully they change ships since the cruise I am booking is so far out but I do like the ports in this itinerary. I am looking forward to your review and pics. Thanks for posting.:cool: Edited November 9, 2015 by JohnSpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tawaik Posted November 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The Liberty was great!! I cruised her April of this year and would not mind doing it again. Nice ports of call. Looking forward to the rest of your review to help bring back fun times on her :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetwocruz2009 Posted November 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Looking forward to your review and beautiful photos. This itinerary is on my bucket list. If only the airfare from California to San Juan wasn't so expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in TX Posted November 9, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Looking forward to your review! DH and I have been wanting to do this itinerary for a couple of years and keep putting it off. I was disappointed to see that the Liberty will be leaving and being replaced with the Fascination. We are probably going to put it off another couple of years until Carnival sends a different ship. I will just continue to take notes when I read all the wonderful reviews I see out of San Juan! There aren't many reviews on Nevis and that is one place we were wanting to visit so I look forward to that portion of your review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandi422 Posted November 10, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 10, 2015 We were on this sailing with a group as well. I am looking forward to hearing your impressions! We had a fantastic time. Our only disappointment was the food and service in the MDR, assigned time, early seating. Our concerns were addressed while on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovingCCL Posted November 10, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 10, 2015 My husband and I were on this cruise as well for our anniversary. We had an amazing time and I cannot wait to read your review to relive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seannyice81 Posted November 10, 2015 Author #19 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Here we go! PRE-CRUISE - Planning, costs, and diet issues. Enjoy! I will have Day 1 later tonight or tomorrow. Lots of pictures in the posts ahead. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BcIcemen Posted November 10, 2015 #20 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I was on this cruise as well. We had a great time. We did your time dining and it was fine. After the second night we liked our wait staff and requested that waiter each night with no problem getting a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to your review, great pictures, and reliving our cruise. I am reading Holly's review now and LOVING it even tho we won't be going on Liberty any time soon. :(:( We did a B2B on her in January and I fell madly in love with her and reading reviews/seeing pictures is the next best thing to sailing on her, so I am anxious to read this. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
