Our Lovely Liberty cruise (with pics) 8/9/14

More of the Fun Shops.....

This is one of the Sail & Sign kiosks. At this point I want to mention that the thing I liked the most about the Liberty's decor. I don't know why, but I really liked the wrought iron railings and accents throughout the ship.....

At this point Patti concluded her photo tour, and went back to the cabin to unpack before the muster drill. About the same time, the informal meet & greet ended, so I joined her there.

At 3:30 the muster drill began. We were assigned to muster station “A”, which assembled on Deck 4 forward. It was very hot outside, but thankfully the drill was over fairly quickly, so now it was time for the sail away!

Patti and Ryan were going to hang out and take pictures from the “secret” deck in front of our cabins. I was going to roam the open decks and take some video. The Liberty was the first ship to sail today. Patti took these shots of the Disney Fantasy, and the Carnival Sunshine, as we backed out of our berth…..

We are sailing the Liberty from San Juan, Puerto Rico next April and yours is actually the first review and photos I'm checking out. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us.

We are now out on the open sea.....

You can see the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) in the distance at the Kennedy Space Center.....

Ryan is enjoying the cool breeze on the "secret" deck.....

At this point I had finished shooting video and was bar hopping all around the ship, eventually winding up at the EA Sports Bar, and indulging in several Thirsty Frog Reds. Boy, I love this Cheers program!

Meanwhile, Patti and Ryan grabbed the camera, and took a walk to the few spots she hadn't photographed earlier. The Funshops were now open.....

A couple of pretty pictures of the chandelier in the Garden Atrium.....

We all made it back to the cabin in plenty of time to get ready for dinner. As always, we elected to have Late Seating Dinner. We were given a booth for 4, (# 418), in the Silver Olympian Dining Room…..

Once again, we had an awesome wait team. It seems like I say that on every review I do. It must be that the majority of Carnival’s wait staffs are awesome!! I would like for you to meet June, Maribel, and Laurean…..

Maribel took an immediate liking to Ryan, and we could not leave the dining room unless we gave her a hug!

For our first night's dinner I had the shrimp cocktail, alligator fritters, coconut shrimp, and the grilled mahi mahi. Patti had baked onion soup, ceaser salad, and vegetable lasagna. We both had apple pie a la mode for dessert.

After dinner, Patti went to check out the shops, and Ryan and I went to the Comedy Show at 10:30, to catch Thomas Brown, who was very good.

Afterwards, Ryan went to Club O2, and I thought about hitting the casino, but I was feeling a little tired and went back to the cabin instead. Here is our first night’s turndown service and towel animal. Good Night!

Coming up next: A relaxing first day at sea.

I might not always post but I come back to see every day of your ship tour! Thanks.

The review never disappoints. The pictures are fabulous and the Videos are an added plus.

Thank you once again for taking the time to post your review for us to enjoy.

Hello again everybody. It’s time to tell you all about our first day at sea on the Liberty.

I awoke around 8 am to a beautiful day. Patti and Ryan elected to sleep in a little while longer, go have breakfast, then go to the 10am bingo session.

I grabbed the camera, and went outside on our not so “secret” deck and snapped a few pictures…..

Took this “selfie” on our cabin window…..

The bow of the Carnival Liberty…..

The ship’s bell…..

Looking up one deck to the ship's bridge.....

Feeling hungry, I made my way to Emile's (Lido buffet), to get some breakfast. Here are a couple shots of the Breakfast Grill, which is open from 7:30 to 10:30 on sea days, 7 to 10:30 on port days. The line further aft is open until noon for those late risers.....

The omelet station, which becomes the Mongolian Wok for lunch.....
