ROYAL CARIBBEAN LIBERTY OF THE SEAS SHIP

Liberty of the Seas is offspring of the Freedom-class family, a litter of vessels that began with Freedom of the Seas in 2006 and ended with Independence of the Seas in 2008. The ship, the second-largest cruise ship in the world behind the Oasis-class twins, boasts all the Freedom-class favorites, including popular onshore brands like Johnny Rockets and Ben & Jerry's, cruising's only ice rink, a rock-climbing wall, the novel "Promenade" concept and Boleros Latin lounge.

Those acquainted with RCI's Voyager-class ships will also feel at home on the Freedom-class trio, though the larger size of the latter has afforded the line more space to play. Freedom-class features include the FlowRider surf simulator, the H20 Zone water park and the Everlast boxing ring. But, Liberty and company's overall concept -- both in terms of design and choices -- actually emerged some time ago. Introduced back in 1999, Voyager of the Seas is the ship responsible for the majority of the above-mentioned features, which are now staples of the Royal Caribbean fleet. (In fact, Johnny Rockets and Boleros have proven so successful they were added to the older Sovereign-class vessels during that class' extensive refurbishment.)

And so, through a culmination of Voyager- and Freedom-class innovations, Royal Caribbean has introduced a ship in Liberty of the Seas that offers infinite options in the areas of fitness, recreation and entertainment. With the sheer number of options onboard (especially if the seas are calm), you may find yourself forgetting that you're actually on a massive floating object, gliding quickly through the Caribbean Sea.

In early 2011, Liberty underwent its first dry dock. During the multimillion dollar refurbishment, the ship gained several features that debuted on Oasis of the Seas, including a cupcake bakery, big-name stage show ("Saturday Night Fever" in this case), a nursery for the youngest cruisers and an outdoor movie screen. New technology knowhow is paraded in the form of interactive in-cabin televisions and the addition of digital deck plan systems, which are located throughout the ship to help passengers navigate with the use of LCD touch-screens that offer customized directions and routing, real time updates and ship factoids.

CONFERENCE CENTER

This comfortable conference center features state-of-the-art presentation equipment and a variety of meeting rooms. Our main meeting room for our NewLife Expo and seminar-at-sea will be located in this conference center.

ROYAL CARIBBEAN LIBERTY OF THE SEAS DRESS CODE

Meals in the main dining room follow this schedule:

For a 5-night cruise, 3 casual nights, 1 smart casual night, and 1 formal night.
For a 7-night cruise, 4 casual nights, 1 smart casual night, and 2 formal nights.
For an 8-night cruise, 4 casual nights, 2 smart casual nights, and 2 formal nights.

The number of smart casual and formal nights is at the ship's discretion.

For formal nights, quite a number of men choose to wear tuxedos for formal dining, though dark suits were more common. Women are typically found in cocktail dresses or gowns.

On five-night cruises, there is just one formal night. However, it is not compulsory, and many choose not to participate and dine in Windjammers buffet or Jade buffet to avoid the formal attire.

IN-STATEROOM TV AND MOVIES

Every room on Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas has an interactive TV to give you up to date information about what is happening on the ship. The TV interfaces with your SeaPass account so you can book shows and shore excursions at the touch of a button. You can access a variety of electronic commerce services such as previewing and reserving shore excursions, watching on-demand movies and informational videos, ordering room service, enjoying games of chance, and reviewing your SeaPass account and shipboard activities.

Royal Caribbean's RCTV offers at least 29 channels of in-room television programming fleet-wide, including satellite channels such as CNN International and ESPN International; TNT; Cartoon Network & Boomerang; Discovery, featuring the best of the Travel Channel, The Learning Channel, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel; Bloomberg TV; CNNfn; CNN Espanol; and two movie channels that play recently released theatrical films before they hit the premium cable circuit.

In addition, Royal Caribbean has developed many channels exclusive to the cruise line that offer a variety of hand-picked shows in the lineup, including classic TV shows on Retro TV; current sitcoms and dramas on Family TV; classic movies on Royal Classics; and music videos and E! Entertainment TV programs on XYtv. Later this summer, Royal Caribbean will launch Venus TV with programming including daytime drama soap operas and E! & Style network shows geared to women.

Each Royal Caribbean ship has its own full-service mini TV station at sea complete with a television production crew and editing studio. In addition to keeping the pre-produced programming on schedule and pulling down live satellite feeds, the ships' broadcast technicians produce and edit onboard TV broadcasts, from the Cruise-In-Review videos to highlights of daily entertainment, art auctions, and other activities.

FIND A QUIET RETREAT ON THE SHIP

Though cruise ships are known for round-the-clock activity, you can find sanctuary on the ship. Here are some ideas:

When crowds on deck or in public areas become overwhelming, you can seek solace in your stateroom. If you want a blissfully quiet experience, book a stateroom where the laundry room, elevators, or other noisy public facilities are not within earshot. If you are traveling with the family, minimize your stress by booking a Family Cabin. Balcony staterooms or suites make for an idyllic retreat, with extra living space inside and a private verandah outside. In addition, passengers in suites get several amenities that make their vacation more relaxing.

Retreat to the glass-canopied, adults-only Solarium pool, where inspired surroundings, a light-fare cafe, and whirlpools promise the ultimate in relaxation. Rent a private cabana for a few hours, or claim a lounger in an adults-only section of the deck. Visit one of the unique cantilevered whirlpools, extending 13 feet beyond the side of the ship for a unique at-sea perspective. Vist the Vitality Spa, a luxurious sanctuary boasting signature treatments, medi-spa services, and a full-service salon to make you glow from the inside out. Find peace at the well-stocked library, featuring a variety of genres, plus tables for cards and board games. The outside strolling area (along the jogging track) is a great place to read or nap.

Get free room service for breakfast in bed or lunch/dinner on your private balcony. Or visit one of the specialty restaurants for a quiet ambience. If you eat meals during off-peak hours, the main dining rooms and buffets will be significantly quieter. Try the formal dining room for breakfast or lunch, rather than fighting crowds at the buffet.

On cruise line private beaches, rent a private cabana where you can have some space to yourself and perhaps splurge on a massage. Plus, having a place to shower, change and store your stuff will keep your island visit hassle-free. On port days, stay on the ship to avoid lineups for tenders and jam-packed beaches and souvenir shops. On a sunny shore day when everyone else is off the ship, retreat to the spa, sit by the pool in a perfect spot, and enjoy nearly empty dining rooms.

SHOPPING

The Royal Promenade is designed like an indoor suburban shopping mall, with shops, bars and eateries lining a four-story corridor running the length of the ship. The area stays busy on sea days and in the evening, with stores open till 11 p.m. Fliers for merchandize and sales arrive in your cabin daily. A variety of name-brand, duty-free shopping includes jewelry, perfumes, apparel and shopping for teens and kids.

The jewelry store features watches, jewelry, sunglasses, amber jewelry, Swarovski crystals, accessories, handbags, leather products, and clothing. The Perfume & Cosmetics store covers most of the big brands. At the Logo Souvenir shop, there is plenty of Royal Caribbean merchandiseâ₠¬â€T-shirts, teddy bears, mugs, thermos bottles, plus Liberty of the Seas model shipsâ€â€as well as resort wear. Also a small selection of sundries, including sun block, tampons, pain relievers, toothpaste, etc.

The General Store carries duty-free liquor and cartons of cigarettes, to be collected during final debarkation off the ship. Also paperback fiction titles, snacks and candies, more sundries as well as a few oddball items, like a hand-held luggage scale, luggage locks, and walkie-talkies. A shop called Get Out There has active wear watches, sunglasses, clothing, hats, flip flops, shoes, outdoor sunblock, and resort wear.

Sorrento's Pizzeria
In the mood for a slice? Enjoy traditional favorites topped with cheese and pepperoni, or go for something new such as Chicken and Potato, Chorizo, or Frutti di Mare pizza.

Johnny Rockets
Get the family together for good old-fashioned burgers and fries. The Johnny Rockets restaurant you'll find onboard is everything you'd expect from the shoreside restaurant - authentic 1950s decor, a menu filled with all-American favorites and, of course, friendly service. Johnny Rockets is a great casual dining alternative that everyone in the family will enjoy.

Cupcake Cupboard
Sprinkle some sweetness into your cruise at this adorable 1940s style shop featuring fresh-baked gourmet cupcakes, with a new cupcake flavor showcased every day (including bubble gum, strawberry, red velvet, root beer and more). Private decorating parties and cupcake-design classes are also offered.
