Carnival Liberty was the first one in the fleet to get a lot of the new Fun Ship 2.0 enhancements.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);">First launched in 2005, Carnival Liberty has been sailing for almost a decade.

The look of the ship has not changed, it was clean, filled with excited people embarking on their vacation and the drinks were flowing.

There was also a plug in the bathroom but I wasn’t sure how good it was, I used it a couple of times and it made my iPhone charger really hot. So I discontinued. The TV was a flat screen that let you check your folio, buy excursions and look at the dinner menus,&nbsp;but it was smarter than me, because I couldn’t figure it.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);">I was impressed with the stateroom because not only did it have a bed but a long couch, a table and a refrigerator to store to bottle waters.&nbsp; The safe was under the TV and activated by a credit card or drivers license. It said you couldn’t use your sail and sign card to lock and<span id="IL_AD3" class="IL_AD" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: static; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; border-bottom-style: dotted !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(27, 142, 222) !important; color: rgb(27, 142, 222) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; float: none !important; font-size: 16px !important; background-image: none !important; background-attachment: scroll !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-size: initial !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat !important;">unlock</span>&nbsp;it and I wondered why, then it occurred to me that every sign and sail strip is the same without the data on it.

Carnival Liberty does not have the new Playlist Productions entertainment, it still has stage dancers and orchestra which was a cool touch.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);">A typical day of entertainment was going ashore, coming back and showering, having a pre-dinner drink in the Alchemy Bar, doing dinner, catching a show with a&nbsp;live orchestra (which was really cool!) and then catching a late night comedy show in the Puncherliner Comedy Club Presented by George Lopez.

I thought the food quality overall was great on Carnival Liberty. Carnival Liberty is one of the cruise ships that recently switched to the American Feast and American Table menus. Basically every night in the main dining room there is a different menu, with food based around the region you’re sailing. For instance, we had jerk chicken one night and a citrus mahi another night – both Eastern Caribbean dishes.</p><div id="attachment_21199" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; margin: 0px auto 2rem; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; width: 310px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);"><a data-cke-saved-href="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1920.jpg" href="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1920.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; color: rgb(44, 127, 159); text-decoration: none;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-21199" data-cke-saved-src="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1920-300x225.jpg" src="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1920-300x225.jpg" alt="Shrimp cocktail in the main dining room.

The 18 oz. Cowboy Cut steak was to die for, I pretty much gnawed all the meat off the bone. The jumbo shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, Caesar salad and fruit dish for desert were all amazing. There aren’t&nbsp;a lot of steakhouses at sea that I would say are worth the extra surcharge, but Crown Grille at&nbsp;Princess Cruises and Carnival’s steakhouse constantly rank number one in my book.</p><div id="attachment_21175" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; margin: 0px auto 2rem; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; width: 235px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);"><a data-cke-saved-href="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1868.jpg" href="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1868.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; color: rgb(44, 127, 159); text-decoration: none;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-21175" data-cke-saved-src="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1868-225x300.jpg" src="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_1868-225x300.jpg" alt="Burrito from the Blue Iguana Cantina.

You could tell that Carnival really thought out the venues and how to spread the people out at any given time.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);">On two mornings we did room service, both mornings they were a little late but it was because we had early port days and I’m sure the whole ship ordered room service. The servers bust there butt on the ships so it was all good.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Serenity</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 2.6rem; padding: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);">The adults-only Serenity area was located forward on Carnival Liberty. Just forward of the slide. It clearly stated adults-only, 21 and up. I was worried that Serenity would be tight because the ship holds 3,000+ passengers and both sea days were picture perfect but both days there were no problems finding chairs together. Serenity is made up of two levels so it helped space the crowds.</p><div id="attachment_21200" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; margin: 0px auto 2rem; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; width: 310px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 242);"><a data-cke-saved-href="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_21331.jpg" href="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_21331.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; -webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; color: rgb(44, 127, 159); text-decoration: none;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-21200" data-cke-saved-src="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_21331-300x300.jpg" src="http://cruiseradio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_21331-300x300.jpg" alt="Outdoors on Carnival Liberty over looking Lido deck.

Even at over 1,000 calories per burger, they still rock!</p>
