Review summary

What's not to like about any of the ships? However, the ship seemed to be chopped up a bit as though there were some afterthoughts. Why isn't the water slide near a pool. Never saw one that merely stops. Wish we didn't have to constantly walk through the casino. It should be off to the side. Exposing kids to smoke while going to/from dinner and any other activities. The common areas were always kept immaculately clean.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Very, very good. Service terrific.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The two shows, on stage, were terrific. The last Carnival cruise did seem to have more of them. So five smiles for the shows, but only three for the number of them.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
Kids rooms were at the extreme forward of the ship and very small with no windows. Grandkids didn't like it so did not partake.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
There was not one employee who did not smile, talk to us, or ask us if or how they could help. Well trained.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship layout leaves something to be desired. Seemed to have wasted spaces that could have been better used. Public areas and cleanliness excellent.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great stateroom. It was a balcony; highly recommended.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Without question the best stop. Beaches, diving, snorkling, shopping, restaurants. Safe.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
We only walked the streets meeting the locals.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
Nice island, nice people. Lots to do.

Belize City, Belize

1 out of 5
Recommended only if you dive and know that the tender leaves from the ship not from land. I think the ruins would be a good bet, but the crime there prevented us from taking the kids off the tourist village site. It was a waste.

Pros: Sandy beaches and blue water

Cons: Belize. Didn't know it did not have any beaches. Very limited for kids.

Recommends Carnival Legend? Yes!
