Liberty of the Seas Rooms to Avoid 

Picking the right cabin on Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas can make a big difference in how much you enjoy your cruise. While all rooms on the ship are comfortable, some might suit you better than others depending on what you like. 

By learning about where different cabins and suites are located on the Liberty of the Seas, you can choose a room that fits your needs perfectly. Every traveler is different. Some people want a quiet place to relax, while others prefer to be close to all the fun activities.  

Let’s explore the Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas Rooms to Avoid that may not be the best choice.    

When booking a cruise on the Liberty of the Seas, it’s important to avoid rooms with obstructed views. These rooms have limited visibility due to lifeboats or other obstructions outside the windows.

To ensure an unobstructed view from your room consider selecting accommodations on higher decks that are less likely to have obstructed views. Cabin locations near the front or back of the ship may also offer better views than those situated mid-ship. 

Here are some of the Liberty of the Seas Rooms to avoid with obstructed views:     

Suites with Obstructed View 

Deck 6 (Villa- Suite 6414) and Deck 7 Junior Suites (7412, 7712, and 7714) have lifeboat obstructions directly outside their windows. The lifeboats can block a large portion of the view, limiting the ocean visibility and natural light entering the cabin. 

Balcony Cabins with Obstructed View 

Deck 6 Cabins 6410, 6412,6710 and 6712, Deck 7 Rooms 7408-7410 and 7708-7710 (even), Deck 8 Cabins 8410 and 8710 are balcony cabins that have partial obstructions from lifeboats. Passengers can still use the balcony.

Promenade Cabins with Obstructed View  

Interior Promenade View rooms on Decks 6, 7, and 8 face the Royal Promenade. These rooms provide a view of the promenade but have no natural light and can be noisy during events or busy times. These cabins don’t have external views by design. 

When planning your stay on the Liberty of the Seas, it’s essential to choose your cabin wisely. Some rooms feature connecting doors that allow easy access between adjacent cabins. While this can be convenient for families traveling together, it may also pose privacy concerns and noise disturbances. 

Here are some of the Liberty of the Seas connecting rooms to avoid:   

Oceanview Cabins with Connecting Doors   

Some cabins on Deck 2 and Deck 3, Category 1N-2N and 3N-4N are Oceanview cabins with connecting doors. These cabins guests can hear noise from neighboring rooms because noise can travel easily between connecting Oceanview cabins.  These cabins are on lower decks, which may experience more movement in rough seas. 

On Deck 9, some balcony cabins are connected to Oceanview cabins such as 9518/9520 and 9218/9220 

Interior Connecting Cabins 

All passenger decks have interior cabins with connecting doors, perfect for families or groups. These cabins have a door that links them, making it easy to move between the two. Keep in mind that the connecting door may let in more noise. If you’re not with family or friends in the next cabin, you might hear more sounds from other guests. You can check the deck plans for further details. 

Balcony Connecting Cabins 

Some cabins on Deck 12, 10, 9, 8, 7 and 6 (Category CB, 3B–4B, 1B-2B, and 5D). These balcony cabins have connecting doors and may have less privacy.

Junior Suites 

Junior suites on Deck 10 include (1356/1360, 1370/1372, 1656/1660, and 1670/1672). Deck 9 includes (9234/9238, 9534/9538, 9350/9354, and 9650/9654).  These Junior suites have in between connected doors. 

Some Junior suites are connected with balcony cabins on Deck 10 (1628/1630, 1404/1406, and 1604/1606) and Deck 9 (9632/9634 and 9332/9334). 

Grand Suites 

Grand Suites are connected with balcony cabins on Deck 10 (1270/1274, 1286/1288, 1570/1574, and 1586/1588), Deck 9 (9406/9408 and 9706/9708) and Deck 8 (8412/8414 and 8712/8714). These suites may hear noise from neighboring balcony cabins because noise can travel easily between connecting suites.    

Promenade Cabins with Connecting Door 

Promenade cabins with connecting doors are on Deck 6, 7 and 8 and have more noise between them than standard balcony cabins. In Promenade cabins, neighbors are close, just a door apart, which lets sounds from talking, TV, or other activities pass easily between rooms. Without the soundproofing of an outside wall, this closeness can make it feel less private.  

When planning your cruise on the Liberty of the Seas, consider your cabin’s location. Some rooms are near noisy areas that can interrupt your relaxation. For example, rooms close to elevators, near entertainment venues and pool areas. If you are a light sleeper or prefer a quiet space avoid these areas.  

Here are some of the Liberty of the Seas Rooms to avoid near noisy areas:     

Cabins Near Elevators 

The Liberty of the Seas has elevators at the front and back on all decks for passengers. Some cabins are close to elevators such as Deck 6 cabins 6253 and 6553, Deck 7 cabins 7253 and 7553, Deck 8 cabins 8253 and 8553. For Further details check Liberty of the Seas deck plans. 

These rooms are close to elevator banks. The constant traffic of passengers using the elevators can create noise from conversations, luggage being wheeled, and the elevators themselves. This can be disruptive during peak hours or late at night. 

Cabins Near Stairwells 

Deck 3 cabins (3253,3255, 3557, and 3559) and Deck 6 cabin 6137 and Deck 7 cabin 7139 are adjacent to stairwells. The noise from people using the stairs during busy periods or in case of emergencies can be bothersome.

Cabins Below the Casino 

Some rooms on deck 3 are located directly below the casino on Deck 4. The casino can be a lively area with noise from slot machines, cheering gamblers, and music, which may penetrate to the deck below during peak evening hours and into the night. 

Cabins Below the Royal Promenade 

Deck 6 Cabins are situated above the Royal Promenade on Deck 5. The promenade is a central hub of activity on the Royal Caribbean ships, often hosting parades, live music, and other events. The noise from these activities, as well as from people walking and talking, can filter down to the cabins above. 

Cabins Below the Pool Deck 

Some cabins on Deck 10 are located directly under the pool deck on Deck 11. During the day, noise from activities like deck parties, music, and people moving deck chairs can be heard. At night, the sound of maintenance crews cleaning and rearranging furniture on the pool deck can disturb light sleepers. 

When planning a voyage on the Liberty of the Seas, it’s essential to consider the location of your cabin to minimize the risk of seasickness. Certain rooms are more prone to motion discomfort due to their positioning within the ship. 

Here are some of the Liberty of the Seas Cabins to avoid that may cause seasickness:  

Forward and Aft Cabins 

Deck 6 to 10 on a cruise ship have the higher deck cabins, with the first and last 5 to10 rooms on each side designated as Forward and Aft Cabins.

Higher Deck Cabins 

All rooms on higher decks such as deck 12 feel more ship movement due to the “lever effect.” People in these cabins might feel more swaying or rocking than those on lower decks. The higher you are on the ship, the more you feel the movement. If you get seasick easily, think about this when choosing a cabin. 

When choosing a cabin, it’s essential to consider which interior cabins to avoid due to limited natural light. Many travelers prefer rooms that offer at least some glimpse of the outside world, promoting a more enjoyable and uplifting atmosphere.  

Here are some of the Liberty of the Seas Interior cabins to avoid with limited natural light:   

Promenade View Rooms  

Promenade View Cabins on Deck 6, 7 and 8 face the Royal Promenade and have no natural light. While they offer a unique view of the ship’s internal activities, they can feel claustrophobic to some passengers due to the lack of natural light and external views.

Interior Cabins in the Ship’s Interior Corridors 

All interior cabins in the Ship’s Interior Corridors have no windows or natural light, which can be disorienting and uncomfortable for some passengers. Deck 6 cabins 6109 to 6125, 6129 to 6135, 6453 to 6473, and 6481 to 6499 (odd), Deck 7 Cabins 7111 to 7135, 7453 to 7473, and 7483 to 7499 (odd) and some cabins on Deck 8 and Deck 9 are in the Ship’s Interior Corridors with no window. 

These rooms often feel smaller due to the absence of a window or balcony. Some passengers may experience claustrophobia in these cabins. 

When booking a cabin be mindful of certain rooms that might not be comfortable, for example rooms near service areas or crew quarters can be noisy at all hours.  

Here are some of the Liberty of the Seas rooms to avoid Near Service Areas or Crew Areas: 

Cabins Near Crew Stairs and Elevators  

Deck 2 Cabins that are near crew stairs and elevators may also hear noises because these areas are important for crew members who come and go at all hours. The staff moves through these corridors all day and night for shift changes and other tasks. This constant activity can disturb the peace you expect in your cabin in the early morning or late at night. You might hear service carts rolling down the hall or equipment being moved, which adds to the noise. 

Cabins Near Crew Areas  

Choosing cabins close to crew living and working areas can greatly affect guests’ experiences. These locations often have higher noise levels from crew activities. Guests may hear conversations, laughter, and music from nearby spaces, which can disrupt relaxation and sleep. The constant movement of crew members during shift changes adds to the busy atmosphere around these cabins. This activity can make the environment feel lively or chaotic for those staying there. 

Cabins Near Laundry Facilities  

When picking a cabin on the Liberty of the Seas, avoid those near laundry facilities. The main reason is the noise and vibrations from these areas.

Cabins Below or Adjacent to Galleys (Kitchens)  

Cabins near galleys can disturb guests. One major issue is the noise from breakfast preparation in the early morning. Kitchen staff moving around can wake sleeping passengers much earlier than they expect. Late-night cleanup also causes problems. After dinner, crew members clean up, making noise that disrupts the peace in nearby cabins.
