Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Liberty of the Seas
Only the third cruise that I have been on and always been impressed with how friendly that the crews have been. The service on the ship is also very good. My wife and I also very much enjoy going to the evening theatre and the shows are all very good standard . The various daytime and evening events are also very good. One negative thing about cruise ships is that I find that excursions from the ship are expensive as to is internet connection.
Well what an amazing holiday! Ship was spotless. Cabin was so clean and bed very comfy, entertainment/food/drinks all top notch and the crew,-every single one-so welcoming, attentive and happy. Everything was wonderful!
This was our first cruise and it did not disappoint everything from start to finish was first class all staff were absolutely amazing
What a lovely ship and amazing crew! An older smaller ship but it’s just so beautiful and well cared for. Cabins are comfortable with plenty of storage space. The beds are unfortunately very very hard! Entertainment and bars are all fantastic the pool decks are busy but there’s always somewhere to find a quiet spot. Lots of entertainment for the kids of all ages and adult entertainment too later into the evening. Food on the whole is good and should you not like something then it’s not a problem to get something else. It’s a great ship for all ages with something for everyone to do on a sea day or evenings. Embarkation and debarkation are very smooth with plenty of staff to help you get on board very quickly. This is my second time on this ship and would recommend it to anyone.
