The Liberty of the Seas will draw you in with lively entertainment and beautiful decor, calling you back again and again.  

Parents need not worry about entertaining kids on this cruise, the Liberty has you covered. Swimmers can take a dip in the main pool on Deck 11 or try out the FlowRider surf simulator. Thrill-seekers will ook no further than the Tidal Wave boomerang water slide or the threes stories high 'Perfect Storm' which is fun whether it's the 1st or 101st time. Swim diapers are permitted in the splash pool, but no others. Older guests looking for some kids-free pool time will find solace in the Solarium, an adults-only pool, and sun deck. At night the main pool also hosts a 'dive-in' movie night for the whole family. 

As with most family cruises, the kids and youth programs are available for extra fun sea days. The Liberty's Adventure Ocean splits young passengers into three groups based on age (3-5, 6-8, and 9-11) for educational and fun activities lead by the ship's youth staff. Events include dance classes, science experiments, themed parties, and a kids' talent show. Typically harder to please teen passengers have their own space, The Living Room, where they can socialize and generally 'chill out'. Note that Royal Caribbean cruise kids' programs have recently become 'autism friendly' offering games, activities, and movies specifically for autistic passengers. 

Family activities have no limit aboard the Liberty. The Dreamworks experience indulges everyone's inner child with Dreamworks characters like Kung Fu Panda and Shrek roaming the ship and hosting character dinners. Passengers can also take advantage of the rock climbing wall, ice skating rink, and parades all free of charge. Theater fans will enjoy the Broadway-esque productions and ice skating shows. On the day-to-day, passengers can enjoy culinary classes, game shows, sports competitions, wine tastings, mini-golf, and much much more. Families may even leave the ship feeling they didn't get to try everything the Liberty has to offer! 

Group babysitting is not technically available on the Liberty, although kids programs are available late for $7 per child per hour. In-cabin babysitting is $20 an hour for up to THREE KIDS per family. 

Each ship has a variety of fun activities for the whole family, so be sure to check your ship before you cruise to view what's available. Whether you're 8 or 80, there's no reason not to have fun on your getaway at sea; before breaking off into everyone's activities, enjoy some time together by planning to meet for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 

This is the time to make memories and nothing could be more memorable than setting up a shore excursion for the whole family. Plan your shore excursions ahead of time for the best chance at booking your top selections. 

*Please note it is often cheaper to book two staterooms or two connecting cabins instead of one large stateroom suite - plus it gives you a second bathroom.*
