New Cruise Review - Disappointed with Liberty again

"Not the cruise we hoped it would be"

MaryLouu, so sorry your cruise wasn't up to your expectations. It's a shame how cruise lines have changed over the years. On our last RCI cruise they were really pushing the drink packages and the bar service was terrible. Make you wonder if that is part of their plan.

I was going to say it's time for you to switch to a new cruise line, but you beat me to it.

I agree with your take on the connection between all-you-can-drink beverage packages and ridiculous waits at the bar and lack of service elsewhere. It's not just RCI, but I noticed this on Norwegian, too.

Hope your next cruise is more enjoyable!

Thanks for the great review Mary Lou. I really hope that your next cruise is much better. Hope RC realizes all of this before they lose many passengers.

Wow, sorry to hear this MaryLou. You’re absolutely right to be looking to spend your time with another cruise line to meet your expectations at this point. Here’s hoping your next cruise is perfect!

I have had such a bad experience with Royal Caribbean that I will never consider sailing with them again even if the cruise was free. I have been pleased with Princess and all the perks I get with being elite. Free Laundry is nice.

I hear you, Byron. I gotta love the priority embarkation and especially the complimentary mini-bar! :biggrin:

Let me know when that free cruise comes up – I’ll be happy to take it off your hands! :biggrin:

Tough reading this review and the comments. We're trying to build up loyalty points with RCI and are cruising one of the older ships in March (Vision of the Seas). Sounds like RCI is heading downhill though.

Wow - I am really sorry that this was another disappointment. Let's hope it isolated to the Liberty and not the trend to RCL.

I found your points to be well taken and if you haven't done so already, write to RCL. Your words aren't "complaints" as much as observations, criticism, etc.

Jerry and I feel this way about NCL. Burn me once, burn me twice - but call me a FOOL if we sail with NCL a third time.
