Carnival Legend

This was the trip of a lifetime for our family. The excursions we picked were all excellent and we learned so much about the wildlife, history, and environment of Alaska. It was worth every penny that we spent on the trip!

As with other cruise lines, Carnival is in to retail selling - mostly a distraction. I wish cruise line would make wi-fi free for all! It's to expensive for most travelers - we were constantly checking emails and messages at the ports and going back to airplane mode while sailing.

This cruise was a good value. The on-board musical entertainment is top notch, vastly exceeded expectations. We had rough seas the first day, which made for a bad start to the cruise since my wife was sick for the first two days, but once you get into the inland passage it's very calm seas and we were able to enjoy several wonderful excursions. The food was decent, lots of opinions for the buffet style, but the sit-down dinning options aren't very vegetarian friendly on this ship. I'd recommend this ship and itinerary to my friends if they have a smaller travel budget, it was a good value for what you pay for.

Every one should take this cruise at least once in your lifetime!

Had few issue with cabin when first arrived, but was repaired in a somewhat timely manner. Ketchikan and Victoria ports could not be enjoyed, do to time restrictions spent at each port. Food was average, but selected chiefs table again, which is a must.
