Carnival Liberty

Just came home from sailing on the Liberty out of Rome. As for the Liberty, to sum it up beautiful ship, great itinerary, and some issues that need to be resolved. My main problem with them is that I needed a refrigerator for my medicine. The one in the room is not meant to keep items cold like a refrigerator but is more like a cool box. It is used to store items that customers can buy. Their solution was that I keep my medicine at the information desk and retrieve it from there every day.

There was always a long line and no privacy and the infirmary refused to store it. Your choices are to wait in a long line or skip and receive even more attention from others that have been waiting for a long time! The other is to check your onboard account. Several people had problems with extra charges. Good points-movie screen by the pool was wonderful, the shows were fantastic, and time in ports was adequate. They did a great job of matching tablemates together. P.S. Some people said that others were getting on the ship around 10:00 in the morning. If it hadn't been for the frustration and embarrassment that I experienced with the medicine issue I would rate this cruise a 7 out of 10. I have been on two other cruises to Europe. My issue with the lack of a refrigerator for medication really dampened my experience on this cruise. Please be prepared for this if you have the same needs.
