Review summary

We will stay away from this ship in the future, and probably from Carnival in general. The food was adequate, the entertainment was adequate at best. The ship was crowded - meal times were not pleasant because of the crowds - it was difficult to find any seats around the pools. We have been on seven cruises, and this was the least pleasant of all of them.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Decent to adequate, but certainly not gourmet.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Poor quality of entertainment. Not enough variety of musical options.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Good, but nobody went above/beyond. The staff was all friendly and cheerful.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Once our airconditioning was fixed (it took nearly two days), the cabin was comfortable.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
Turtle excursion was nice, although our tour was cut short by 1/2 hour. We all returned to the bus at the correct time, and then had to wait almost 20 minutes to leave. Another example of poor organization.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5

Belize City, Belize

1 out of 5
We tried to find information about what to do in Belize if we weren't going on an excursion, but staff did not give information readily, perhaps because we weren't going to spend money on an excursion. It would have been helpful to know that there is almost nothing to do in Belize, as there is in other ports, and therefore it is best to take an excursion on this day.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
Nice day at Mahogany Bay, but outrageously expensive for a day at the beach and some snorkel gear.

Pros: Excursion sights

Cons: Crowds/poorly organized ship in general

Recommends Carnival Legend? No.
