Review summary

This cruise on the Carnival Legend was a fun and exciting family vacation for us.  The boat was clean and the service was excellent!  The food was very good in the dining rooms but if you want a buffet late, it was not availiable.  However pizza and ice cream was plentiful.  The boat was well managed and the weather was beautiful with expected humidity.  The stops kept the excitement going and the sea days gave options for relaxation or choices of many activities.  The entertainment was fun but not at the high calliber we have seen in the past.  Dining room service supurb!  Overall lots of fun in the sun!

 

Of note:  We booked an excersion through Shore Trips, the Belize cave tubing experience.  Cardinal and Louis were extradonary guides and took the time to show us all the extras including plant and animal life on the way to the cave, the best swimming spots, fun safe places to jump into the water and formations in the cave I don't think were being pointed out to other guests.  For a more reasonable pricethan most others we compared they carried our tubes to the cave and had them ready and waiting for us.  This left our hands free to explore and swim and enjoy!  Nice work Cardinal and Louis from VIV (Very Important Visitor). :)
