Liberty Of The Seas deck plans

Liberty of the Seas (2007-built, last refurbished in 2021 July, Royal Amplified refurbishment in 2016) is the second of the Freedom-class Royal Caribbean cruise ships – together with Freedom OTS and Independence OTS.

Note: CruiseMapper's Liberty OTS deck plans are valid for 2023-2024-2025 (through April 21).

Liberty of the Seas cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 1839 staterooms for 3678 passengers (max capacity is 4414) served by 1360 crew-staff. The boat has 15 decks (14 passenger-accessible, 8 with cabins), 22 lounges and bars, 4 swimming pools, 7 outdoor Jacuzzis (whirlpool hot tubs/2 of which cantilevered), 14 elevators.

The ship's last drydock was scheduled for July 2021. The drydocking (at Navantia Shipyard in Cadiz Spain) was for routine maintenance works, done usually every 5 years to keep the cruise ships properly maintained. Liberty OTS's 2021 drydock included mainly technical works (hull painting, checking the propellers and fin stabilizers) and classification inspection.

Liberty OTS deck plan changes 2016 refurbishment review

During the ship’s drydock refurbishment in 2016 (January 10 through February 6), Royal Caribbean added a group of 3 waterslides located on deck 13 aft (near the Flowrider simulator). The Aqua Park (on lido deck 11) has a new, kids-only water play area called “Splashaway Bay”.

Liberty is the first Freedom-class RCI ship with waterslides. The first-ever Royal Caribbean ship originally built with slides is Harmony of the Seas (launched 2016) with a total of 4 water slides.
