Liberty Of The Seas Review

Review of Liberty Of The Seas

The 2007-built Liberty of the Seas cruise ship is the second Freedom-class Royal Caribbean liner, with sisterships Freedom OTS and Independence OTS.

The vessel (IMO 9330032) is currently Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 309436000) and registered in Nassau.

History – construction and ownership

Royal Caribbean International (RCI) is a US-based passenger shipping company, trademarked travel brand, and a subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Group (RCG/shipowner). Founded in 1968, RCI today holds over one-fifth of the global cruise market. It operates RCG’s largest fleet by both vessel number and GT tonnage.

All RCI liners have names ending with “of the Seas.”

The 4000-passenger Liberty OTS had her first drydock in 2011. During the refit, the ship received features first introduced on Oasis OTS, including large stage productions, the Royal Nursery, an outdoor movie screen, and a cupcake bakery.

Liberty OTS also features Freedom-class favorites such as Johnny Rockets, Ben and Jerry’s, the only ice rink at sea, rock-climbing wall, Royal Promenade, and Boleros Latin lounge.

Liberty Of The Seas Wiki

Liberty OTS is the fleet’s 2nd Freedom-class liner, with sisterships Freedom and Independence. She was built in 2007 by Aker Finnyards Shipyard (Turku, Finland), later acquired by STX Europe (a subsidiary of South Korea’s STX Corporation). The ship’s godmother was Donnalea Madeley from Ontario, elected from about 2500 female travel agents who showed commitment to social causes. She was the first travel agent ever chosen for this role, traditionally reserved for VIPs. The christening ceremony was held at PortMiami on May 18, 2007.

The inaugural voyage was a 7-day Caribbean cruise starting May 19, 2007. Before arriving in Miami, Liberty OTS operated special pre-inaugural cruises: a Transatlantic crossing from Southampton to New York, followed by a repositioning sailing from New York to Miami with calls at several US East Coast ports.

From 2011 to 2018, Liberty OTS featured the “DreamWorks Experience.” The ship is decorated in Art Nouveau style, highlighted by digital art installations from Miguel Chevalier, combining light projections on suspended canvases. Entertainment includes Royal Caribbean’s signature shows, Vegas-style productions, ice-skating, rock climbing, themed bars and lounges, and extensive modern facilities.

Liberty OTS refurbishment 2016 review

During her 2016 drydock (January 10 – February 6), Royal Caribbean added three waterslides on Deck 13 aft near the FlowRider. The Lido Deck 11 Aqua Park was redesigned as “Splashaway Bay,” a new kids-only water playground.

Liberty was the first Freedom-class ship to feature waterslides. The first RCI ship built with slides was Harmony of the Seas (2016), which debuted with four slides.

Key deck plan changes in 2016 included:

  • (Deck 2) Three inside cabins removed (2405, 2403, 2401).
  • (Deck 3) Catacombs Disco (218 seats, level 1) replaced with 19 new interior cabins. Four more interiors added near the Art Gallery (starboard). Bernini (port) and Velasquez (starboard) lounges converted into 10 new oceanview staterooms. Rembrandt Dining Room renamed “Main Dining Room” (level 1).
  • (Deck 4) Catacombs Disco (level 2) replaced with Sabor Modern Mexican restaurant. Michelangelo Dining Room renamed “Main Dining Room” (level 2).

  • (Deck 13) Liberty Dunes mini golf course and golf simulator replaced with Perfect Storm waterslides (Cyclone, Typhoon). Wipe Out! burger bar replaced with “Tidal Wave” (Boomerang slide). Slide opening was delayed until June 2016 due to design adjustments, including padding at impact zones.

A total of 89 new cabins were added, including 26 Panoramic Oceanview staterooms (with floor-to-ceiling forward-facing windows) on Deck 12.
