What Travelers Say About Liberty of the Seas
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Liberty of the Seas sailing. Distilled from 232 traveler threads, passenger reviews and travel blogs.
Liberty of the Seas is a Freedom-class Royal Caribbean ship that launched in 2007 and has been refreshed through subsequent refits, landing it a 4.2 out of 5 from more than 4,000 U.S. News guest reviewers and a spot among the line's better-regarded mid-size ships. Its appeal is the sweet spot it occupies: it packs signature big-ship thrills — the original FlowRider surf simulator, the Perfect Storm waterslides, a rock-climbing wall, a real ice rink, and the bustling Royal Promenade — into a vessel that carries fewer passengers than the line's giant Oasis- and Icon-class ships, giving it a livelier-but-less-overwhelming vibe that families and value-minded cruisers consistently praise.
What People Love
- Strong all-around value — fares run notably lower than Royal Caribbean's newest megaships while still delivering big-ship amenities
- Free, no-reservation FlowRider surf simulator open all day, a rarity guests rave about
- Studio B ice rink offers both open public skating sessions and a Royal Caribbean-exclusive ice spectacular show
Common Complaints
- Ship shows its age in décor and finishes; reviewers note dated public areas and a 'throwback' feel versus newer vessels
- Far too few electrical outlets in cabins, with no convenient bedside charging despite past refits
- Pool deck is frequently overcrowded and hard to find a chair on, with some loungers feeling worn
