Creator's Key Takeaways

The Liberty of the Seas refit has improved the ship, but it hasn't transformed it.

The main warning is not to pay a premium because you think the refit has turned Liberty into a new ship.

Liberty of the Seas wasn't the most sociable cruise I've done as a solo traveler.

The food, service, and atmosphere was strong enough that I've already booked her sister ship, Freedom of the Seas, for next year.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not pay a premium expecting a brand new ship just because of the refit.
If traveling solo to meet people, be aware this ship may not be the easiest for that.

YouTube Video Description

This is my honest Liberty of the Seas review after sailing on the first two cruises following the 2026 refit. I spent nine nights onboard across a back-to-back cruise, giving me the chance to experience both the new additions and the areas that still feel dated. In this Liberty of the Seas review, I cover the refit, cabins, dining, entertainment, service, atmosphere, ports of call and whether I think Liberty of the Seas is still worth booking. If you’re planning a Royal Caribbean cruise, I hope this review helps you decide whether Liberty of the Seas is the right ship for you.
