Which Royal Caribbean Ship?

Question

We have been on 3 cruises. Two of them were with Royal Caribbean. We were on Enchantment of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas. We are looking to go on our 4th cruise this summer. We are looking at the Western Caribbean one. We can either go June 28 on Liberty of the Seas, or July 6 on Freedom of the seas. They are the exact same ports, so which ship do you reccomend? We have looked on the website, and Freedom and Liberty are practically the same-which is the better of the two?

Answer 1

I was just on the Enchantment in July! lol.

They are the same vessles, from the same class.

Go to the link below you'll find out a lot about each ship. Plus a ton of stuff on the ports of call, shore excursions, what to do arounf the ship and such. You may have a easier decison from there.

Have fun!

Answer 2

Check again, the ports are not the same.  The Liberty of the Seas goes to Montego Bay while the Freedom of the Seas goes to Ocho Rios (the other ports are the same).  If I had to choose, I would choose Ocho Rios over Montego Bay.  

As for the two ships, they are the same.  Except for the names of the public areas and the interior colors the ships are the same.  The Freedom is one year older.

Answer 3

Yes, Freedom and Liberty of the Seas are essentially the same, but Liberty is the younger sister.  Liberty came out in May 2007, Freedom in May 2006.

I'd say it's a toss-up but I'd have a slight preference for Liberty because it's newer (although RCI takes really good care of their vessels, so it shouldn't matter).

Answer 4

I was just on the Liberty for the 7-night western caribbean trip and we stopped in Montego Bay. The area was very beautiful and we had a nice time there.

The Liberty is a great ship and the cruise director James and his staff were phenomenal!!! They were all over the place and got people involved in the activities and we had a great time!!

The ship is immaculate and is easy to meaneuver around.

If you chose the Liberty and go to Montego Bay, might I suggest getting a taxi to the shopping area and once there, look for a taxi driver named Cecil who works for Maxi Tours. He drives a blue van with the words "never give up" on the front windshield.

He was a blast and took us all over the area the whole day!!! He waited for us while at the beach and when we went to eat and basically took us on a sightseeing trip around Montego Bay!!!

We had a blast with him! It was one of the best days we had at port!

Answer 5

July 6 freedom of the seas thats it

Answer 6

The two different ports in Jamaica are a big thing. If you are planning on going to Dunn's River Falls, which I suggest you go because it is beautiful, the drive there is either a 2.5 hour journey or a quick 10 min bus ride. I would suggest the cruise with Ocho Rios.

Answer 7

Montego Bay is better

Answer 8

THE NORWEGIAN DREAM

Answer 9

They are EXACTLY the same....Liberty is newer but as which is better....they are the same make! LUCKY YOU! Have fun!
