Review summary
My overall impression of the Carnival Legend was very positive. Every time I passed a crew member, they were smiling and seemed to be having a great time. Megan, the assistant cruise director, and Wee Jimmy, the Cruise Director, were so upbeat and positive and that was very motivating. I loved getting back from dinner every night to see what the schedule for the next day was, and of course, to see what friendly towel animal was waiting for me on the bed. I only have a couple of complaints about the ship: First, bring your own drinks on, and put them in your carry on. One bottle of wine is allowed, and you dont want it getting taken by putting it in your checked luggage. Drinks on the ship are $6+. Second, Carnival has a tendency to sell you something every chance they get, which got annoying. Don't take anything at face value because there's probably a catch. For example, the last night on the ship you have an opportunity to get "$500 off your bar tab." We were excited because that's about how much we spent. Come to find out, it's $500 off your tab, starting at 10pm on the last night. Still worth it for a couple of drinks, but still felt like false advertising. Overall my experience on the ship was a great one. I would definitely go back, and now that I know the tricks, I'll be more prepared. For example -- bring walkie talkies so you can talk to friends/family members on the ship so you dont have to use your cell phone. See you on the next Carnival cruise!Ship experiences
