WELCOME ABOARD 2011!        

Tami, Steve & the Captain of the Liberty of the Seas, are pleased to announce that the 13th Annual ETA Bluegrass Cruise will be taking place aboard Royal Caribbean's cruise ship... Liberty of the Seas! We've had a great time & we welcome you aboard our 13th Anniversary Grand Finale Bluegrass Cruise with fantastic events planned just for you! Be part of this Grand Celebration as we bring you the GREATEST BLUEGRASS MUSIC ON THE HIGH SEAS for our 13th year in a row!

************************************************************************************

  The Liberty of the Seas is no stranger to our Bluegrass Cruisers. Having cruised on her on a past ETA Bluegrass Cruise, many of our guests were thrilled to know that we're going back to her once again! From dining, drinking, shopping or just enjoying it all, the Promenade is a wonderful place to take an afternoon and evening stroll. Maybe dinner at Portofino's or Chops. Ever try surfing on a cruise ship before? Make your way Aft and enjoy the Flowrider™ where you can try your hand at surfing. Ice skating on a cruise ship? Of course!! Maybe some rock climbing or lounging poolside. There is something for everyone.
