The Carnival Liberty gym and spa were forward on deck 11. The spa had all the usual massages and treatments, including a cruise-long "spa seminar" that featured classes on everything from weight loss to detoxification to teeth whitening. The gym had all the latest equipment (including spinning for a $10 fee). Pilates and yoga classes also had a $10 fee, but the rest of the classes and machines were included in the cruise fare. The gym also featured a great view.
Days at sea could be filled with bingo, art auctions, funny contests by the pool, dance classes, or gambling in the casino.
What we didn't see on the Liberty (and didn't expect) were educational classes or enrichment lecturers. Although the cruise director described each port of call, his focus was mostly on Carnival's shore excursions or shopping recommendations. Those preferring to learn about the ports or tour on their own will need to do independent research. This ship is all about fun.
