Carnival Legend

Sail date: June 13, 2010

Ship: Carnival Legend

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Family (older children)

Review summary

The Legend is a very nice ship, but the decor is a bit over the top. Fastest elevators we've ever encountered on a cruise! Stateroom was very nice, loved the balcony. We missed the more thorough port information that NCL provided on our previous cruises. The daily newsletter on the Legend gave a complete rundown of the shipboard activities for each day, but no info on the daily port of call (area, population, climaate, history, points of interest, etc.)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Don't really care for the set dining times; prefer the free-style dining on NCL. Food was very good with just a couple of exceptions. Most every time we tried to get drinks at the Unicorn Cafe, at least one or more of the ice machines were empty.
