Main Dining Room - Salad Lunch

 Good morning,

Catherine sent me this image of a wedge salad she enjoyed aboard Liberty of the Seas.  She knows I love these and would consider this my entire lunch. 

Ah, yes, being on a cruise ship where you can select any restaurant, enjoy excellent food, and not have to do the dishes.

Junior Suite - Liberty of the Seas

 Good morning,

This is a view of the living room section of Catherine's Junior Suite aboard Liberty of the Seas.  

It's so very comfy.  I find a balcony vital to have the personal space to enjoy the ocean.

All the best,

Lois

Sailing Out of the Port of Ft. Lauderdale

 Good morning,

It was a gorgeous day for sailing when Catherine and her friend sailed out of the Port of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

 It is fun to see these images while it is cold, snowy/rainy, and icy here in Ohio.

Have fun, Ladies!

Love you,

Mom

Pool Deck - Liberty of the Seas

 Good morning,

This is part of the water park aboard Liberty of the Seas.  

Cruise ships have become a destination themselves.  Many people come for the ship and don't care where it goes.

Royal Promenade

 Good morning,

This is part of the Royal Promenade aboard Liberty of the Seas.  Here's where you can get pizza and other items you can see listed on the awnings.

Liberty of the Seas is a sister ship to Freedom of the Seas where Kjell and I "lived" for the last six years of his service with Royal Caribbean.  The layout of the ship is exactly the same so it is fun to see it all again in Catherine's pictures.  

I hope you enjoy our virtual cruise aboard Liberty with us!

Promenade Deck 5 - Liberty of the Seas

 Good morning,

This image was taken by Catherine from the Promenade Deck 5 of Liberty of the Seas.

The Mustering Drills are handled differently on board now and it is a vast improvement.  Now guests check in to their muster station with a crew member and they have met the requirement for knowing where to go.  Evacuation instructions are available on cabin TVs and on the phone app.  Easy Peasy.  Back in the old days, we all had to don our life jackets and line up on this deck.  It got crowded, it was hard to hear, and if someone didn't come, the whole process was sometimes held up until the missing person was found.

Thanks for sending the pictures, Catherine.  While it's cold here in Ohio, we are enjoying your cruise with you.

Love you,

Mom
