newcruiser30 Posted March 7, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2009 How good is the library on the Freedom or any of this class of ships? I'm not really anticipating being bored, but I love to relax with a good book. Do you think they would have any by David Baldacci? Thank you!

I have found the libraries on RCCL ships to have very poor selections - better bring your own reading material if you want to assure good reading.

honeywell Posted March 7, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I agree - if you are an avid reader then don't count on the ship's library to supply you with books. Particularly if you are interested in a specific author. In the past I went to the Public Library and purchased paperbacks for $1 or $2 in their resale store. When I was done I left them behind for other passengers (or the crew). I also didn't have to worry if the book got wet, damaged or lost. My DH got me a Kindle reader so now I just download books before I travel and I'm all set! I just have to be careful around the pool and not to spill my umbrella drink on it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniebw Posted March 7, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Being a librarian, I am curious about the ship's library. I have sailed on Princess and they have a fairly decent collection, even if small. Even children's books. If a cruise line needs a librarian, I'll definately aplly!

aggie1 Posted March 7, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have found two cruise ships with decent libraries. One was on RCCL Serenade and the other on Coral Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
