About Liberty of the Seas

What to know before you book
Cabin tips
The Panoramic Oceanview staterooms on Deck 12 offer floor-to-ceiling forward-facing windows at a lower price than most balcony cabins. Avoid cabins on Deck 3 between the Main Dining Room and Studio B, and Deck 10 directly under the pool deck, if noise bothers you.
Dining
Fifteen restaurants include the three-level Main Dining Room, Chops Grille steakhouse, Giovanni's Table for Italian, Sabor for modern Mexican (added during the 2016 refit), and the ever-reliable Sorrento's for complimentary pizza.
Entertainment
The Platinum Theater hosts nightly production shows, Studio B features ice performances, and the FlowRider draws a crowd of spectators and participants daily. It is a smaller-scale experience than the mega-ships, but there is still plenty to keep you busy.
