Carnival Liberty Thread - All The Info You Need Is In Here

[Redheadsmama]

Whoever comes back from the Liberty on the 7 day Eastern with stops in GT, HMC, St. Thomas and San Juan (not in that order), please post your capers or let me know and email them to me. It would be greatly appreciated!

 

I would be interested also. Have a great time!

[Elmo31]

Our ports of call will be Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and cozumel. I would like to know what excursions are the best or some info on your experiences at any of these ports. I know Dunns River Falls is a must do but I am kind of afraid to do it. Any thoughts on that? We dont go until October so I am trying to plan out our fun on the islands. Thanks for all your help and have great cruises!:cool:

FlyGrass...I will be looking for your review, we are doing this in two weeks with a group of fifty! Can't wait, especially would like to know about GT as we have never been there! Have a great, safe trip!

Incidently, I'm from Marrero and know a few people from your area! My dh's company has an office in Houma and I have family in the Thibodaux/Raceland area!

read the port of calls board located on the main board.

 

Dunns River Falls.

Swimming with stingrays are musts for first time cruisers- much information can be found on the port of calls board for cheaper excursions with less people.

 

Much to do in Cozumel== reading all about cozumel will give you an indepth look at all there is to do.

[Papasaurus]

Anyone sailing on October 25th???? I am counting down the days already. I am going nuts. Does anyone else go nuts counting down the days? Im on these boards every days finding out all kinds of good info before we go. I hope everyone has wonderful cruises and please take care of the Liberty for me. I will be in a aft cabin. WooHoo........:) :cool:

My wife and I are taking our first cruise on that date, same ship. Yea counting the days is a drag. I will busy all summer at the fire camps so I hope the time goes by fast. I have done the roll call thing and have gotten no responses this early but I am sure there will be a lot of people on this cruise. We have a balcony on deck 8.:cool:

[Elmo31]

We will be 1 deck below you on the empress deck aft balcony. Dont throw anything on our heads. HaHaHa!!! Have a great cruise.:)

I will just have you baiting my hooks as I fish overboard. We will look forward to meeting some new people. We are from Idaho.

[jamon]

thanks for all the great info

[Flip2cruise]

Ah..My namesake :) Great thread!

[missycruisin]

can someone tell me which nights are formal?

 

thanks!

[serene56]

can someone tell me which nights are formal?

 

thanks!

 

 

depends on which cruise you are doing.

 

We did the 6 nights and it was the second day-- (first sea day) and the next to the last day of getting off. monday & Thursday

 

You are sailin gon a saturday-- formatl nights will be SUnday and Thursday.

[kkdleon]

Can someone with access to the cruise calendar tell me which ports are tendered on the 7-day eastern itinerary leaving at the end of this month? I went to look tonight and it looks like they turned it into a subscription service. I only have one cruise planned for this year and did not want to pay for it. I hope I misread the site regarding that!

 

Also, how do you find out what pier/part of town we will be coming in to? I'm trying to figure out where we will be on these islands in relation to best beaches/shopping/activities. Knowing the pier area will be a help.

 

Anyone reading this just back from the eastern side (San Juan, St. Thomas, Grand Turk, HMC)? I'm having difficulty finding info on some of these ports. I've already been to "ports of call" but info is slow going down there!

I have the opportunity to get a balcony for more money of course, is it worth it?

[gpcruiser]

We are doing a B2B and have the choice between a 6000 (something) mid ship-near the glass elevators or a 7000 (something) AFT extended balcony. What would you do??? :rolleyes: Thanks.

:cool: :cool: I just love having a balcony to sit out on and have early morning coffee or late night nightcap or mid day brewski - hey just about any time. If you spend any length of time in your room it is really nice - I also prop the door open at night so I can hear the water. If it is only about $30-50 more then I would say go for it, any higher and I would consider what it is worth to you.:cool: :cool:

We are going on the Liberty in April 2009 - My PVP thot i was nuts when I turned down an extended aft balcony on Empress for a side balcony - mid-ship on Upper (6359). The following are our reasons:

 

If you are at all prone to sea sickness, I would stick to mid-ship - lots more motion in the aft.

The aft balconies get a lot of sun whereas you are protected more on the side.

I'm told there is a lot of engine noise and diesel smell at the aft.

Yes, the balconies are deeper but not any wider (unless you get the wrap arounds), so they would still only sit 2 comfortably.

Mid-ship is easier to get around to whereever you are going.

 

It is all a matter of preference - some people swear by the aft balconies but we prefer the mid-ship side balcony.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Enjoy your cruise - you will love the Liberty!! We just sailed her this past April (Room 6371) and are counting down the days until next April when we can sail her again!!:D

[wildjazz68]

I will be 1 of the 2 DJ's onboard, from 6/23 - 11/24

THANKS for posting this great information. =)

 

 

OK, before someone begins wondering just how bored I must have been to do this 'project', that was not the case at all. Had just finished a delicious and very filling meal at Harry's and decided to walk it off for a while. Went through all the passenger decks and made notes of what those blank spaces actually are on the deck plans. This was done this past week on Carnival Liberty, and I don't know if it matches up perfectly with all the other Conquest class ships, but my gut feeling is that it does. Here goes. . .

[serene56]

6451 is stated that it is next to a storage unit. but did you notice the room is closed off with a fire door?

 

before we took our first Liberty cruise many people were coming back reporting there were a soda/ice machine located there.

 

For our next Liberty cruise we booked 6443 for convenience only since sailing with a 18 month old. We heard nothing at all from this area.

 

DGP- sounds like you walked off a good meal eh?

 

 

anjoliza stated--I'm told there is a lot of engine noise and diesel smell at the aft. (after sailing a few times on the aft on different ships I have not once smelled diesel fuel.. or did we experience a lot of engine noise.

(considering the engines are a few decks under--- Conquest class ship balconies start on deck 6. You COULD experience a shuddering or a vibration but that only happens when you are pulling in or leaving a port.

Most of the cabins in the aft will feel that vibration- not just the cabins across the aft. Aft cabins COULD experience some soot. we have not yet== but we wipe stuff down before we use it and would not ever leave stuff out there over night.

BUT the afts are not for everyone. the cabins are all the same size. For me-- if i am paying the same price I want more so will take an aft balcony for more room on the balcony
