Review summary

I will not recommend this cruise to anyone. I've been cruising for thirty years and this ship has the poorest run kitchen and dining I've ever encountered. We seldom could even get refills on tea and water and it wasn't because we had a bad waiter, we had anytime dining and had different waiters almost every meal. Anyone who cruises knows the dining room is never crowded for breakfast, and it wasn't but we even had to sit and wait and ask for coffee refills. The only decent piece of beef we had was the everyday Flat iron steak. The filet mignon as well as the chatubriand was not cutable let alone chewable. At one dinner three of us ordered the same entree and two came and the third person got there's when we were ready for dessert! It was not a special order item either! Room service never got one complete order right. The dining experience is a highlight for most cruisers and as me as well, but this ship was a real disappointment. The shows were good the excursions were good and our Cabin Steward was on top of his game but the food and dining experience was pitiful.😝😩😞😟

I agree with your assessment of the dining room!

There always has to be someone that complains! There is just no pleasing some people. We have cruised numerous times before and find Carnival exceptional in food and service.

I was on the Legend Transatlantic and Transpacific. Both cruises the best I have ever made!! On both cruises the best waiters in the MDR. I will never forget them 😍! Best serenity area!! I wish I could back very soon.

I had my first cruise on Legend in March this year and I loved it! I thought the food was good and a couple times it wasn't I asked for something else - no probs. Entertainment was great. Maybe some more activities would make it better. we couldn't fault the staff at all, they were fabulous. Cabins were roomy and lots of storage. Loved eating on Lido deck. Didn't want to get off back in Sydney 😊

I cruised early June and the only outstanding thing about the cruise was the weather. It was our 1 st cruise too. I was Very disappointed. 👎🏻🙍
