My DH and I just returned from the Liberty a week ago and I LOVE this ship. This was our 9th cruise on RCCL and the first on the Liberty. Anyway, there is no coffee pot in the room. We did the room service thing the first morning and kept the pots as we like the coffee from Seattles Best better than the room service coffee. Each morning the DH would go down and fill up the pots. It worked very well. We do tip each time we get room service. I guess this is a personal preference. If you have any other questions let me know. Have a great cruise. By the way, we liked the ship so well that we booked another cruise on the Liberty in December 2010.
