Review summary

the ship is older, which means outdated, TV are from the 1960s I think. service in dining room was very slow, waited over an hour to get food, not much to do during day that interested me, we took our 24 yr old grandson who was disappointed they did not offer drink package for only 1 person in stateroom as other lines do....time in ports was very short..hand sanitizers never filled..on RC there are people standing at dining room door with sanitizer, people in buffett dining did not seem like they wanted to be there, only 2 people interacted with us

After actually sailing on the Legend last week, I know for sure that William is certainly a bigger jack ass than even I had surmised. Fabulous ship, crew, and more to do than you could possibly do on one cruise.

Wow I bet you're as fun as a bump on a log. Who sits in the room to watch TV anyway? It's a cruise for Petes sake!

You're kidding right? I'll bet you're one of those hard to please types. Your vacation is what you make it? Nothing to do? Sheez. There's only some of the most gorgeous scenery anywhere!

Hard to believe this review is genuine. For one thing, theship had a major refurbishment in 2012 where they replaced all the older TVs (which by the way were not from the 60s) with new flat screens. And Carnival has more activities than any cruise line I've been on. My issue is not being able to do it all since there's SO much. My suspicion is that you're biased and never actually cruised Carnival

Thanks for posting your first review here.  Sorry that this cruise was not a good fit for you or your grandson.  Perhaps your next cruise will be a better fit for you.  I hope so.  For me there is never enough time in ports.  I think that they call long dining times, leisurely dining.  Sometimes I get antsy in the dining room.  I guess that it is not easy serving so many meals at one time.

i cruised this ship in 2010 to the western Caribbean! loved it. there's always something to do, if you didn't find anything you didn't look

You didn't research the cruise before you booked it? Times in ports are all posted before hand. Sixties? Doubt that's even possible. Just reading your post makes me think there's not a lot anywhere that "interests" you. No wonder no one interacted with you. Your grandson sounds like he's a chip off the old block too. Better luck on your next one.
