Reviewer read

A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on ship quality.

Carnival Liberty rates higher overall than 60% of the ships we track. Entertainment is its strongest showing. The weak spot is ship quality.

The one caution

8.3out of 10 for ship quality

Higher than only 20% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.75.

Everything else, in two lines

Four are good without being remarkable: entertainment, embarkation, activities and value. They rate higher than 53% to 84% of ships.

Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 33 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Seven fall below the fleet: dining, service, fitness, disembarkation, cabins, public areas and ship quality. They rate higher than 20% to 49% of ships.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.20 and 8.42. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
