Carnival Liberty

Guy’s burgers, a Mexican cantina and the Steakhouse on Carnival Liberty

Most of what Carnival Liberty serves is casual and included in the fare, and Guy’s Burger Joint and the BlueIguana Cantina set the tone. Guy’s is celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s burger counter, all flame-grilled patties and loaded toppings, while the cantina brings fresh Mexican food and a lively atmosphere, the kind of easy meal that suits a day back from a Caribbean port. Wood-fired pizza, build-your-own stir-fry and soft-serve are on the house around the decks as well.

For a bigger night, the Steakhouse grills prime cuts to your liking on à la carte pricing, charged separately from the fare. Otherwise, three-course dinners are served every evening at no extra cost. Between meals, the RedFrog Rum Bar pours rum cocktails and the ship’s own private-label draft beer, and the Alchemy Bar mixes cocktails to order; both are free to walk into, with drinks charged unless a beverage package covers them.

Round trips from New Orleans to the Western Caribbean

Carnival Liberty sails the Western Caribbean on 6- and 7-night round trips that leave from and return to New Orleans. Stops change between departures, but you might see Cozumel in Mexico, Belize City, or Mahogany Bay on Roatán in Honduras. These Western Caribbean sailings run in December and January, which is summer at home in Australia, and selected longer Caribbean voyages, also round trips from New Orleans, stretch to 14 nights.

We book the flights, a hotel in New Orleans either side of the cruise and the transfers as one holiday, so a few nights in the city become part of the trip. Our search for Caribbean cruises in 2026 lists departures across the region for the coming season.

In Carnival’s Conquest Class she sails alongside ships including Carnival Glory and Carnival Valor, and our Carnival Cruise Line page introduces the line’s other ships.

Kids’ clubs, WaterWorks and an adults-only retreat

Carnival Liberty keeps children busy and still gives adults somewhere quiet, and all of it is included in the fare. Camp Ocean runs supervised, age-based groups with ocean-themed activities for children aged 2 to 11, so parents can take an afternoon for themselves knowing the younger ones are looked after, and teenagers have Club O2 to themselves.

Out on deck, WaterWorks gives plenty of room to swim, splash and cool off in the Caribbean sun. For grown-ups, the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat is a pool hideaway away from the busier decks, yet never far from the action. After dark there is live musical theatre and stand-up comedy, both included.

Carnival Liberty cabins and deck plans

On a ship this lively, where you sleep shapes the week. The Carnival Liberty cabins and deck plans show her suites and the layout deck by deck, so you can settle near the family spaces or well away from them.
