Traveled as: Large Group

Reviewed: 6 years ago

Review summary

Alaska is always a great choice for a cruise but Carnival would not be my pick again for the ship to take the adventure on.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
The embarkation at this port was very hectic. Not nearly as smooth as the other 10 embarkations that I have been a part of.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The service and food was good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There were not a lot of activities to do onboard and on the few days that the pool could have been utilized (warm enough), they did not open the pool for the kids. They were disappointed.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were okay but not family friendly.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
The kids really enjoyed the Dr Suess parade.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
The wait staff as always, did an exceptional job and knew exactly what we wanted by the 2nd day of the cruise. I only saw my room steward once, which is quite unusual. We usually get the opportunity to communicate and interact with them more than on this cruise.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Needs major updating

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabins need some major updating, the decor is old and worn out.

Ship tip

Explore the ship as soon as you get on. Look for those hidden get away spots.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion but did go to the marketplace which was a good time.

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
We went whale watching and it was a blast. We go to see so many whales.

Skagway, Alaska

4 out of 5
We went salmon fishing and several of the guys caught fish. However, we were not able to have them processed and shipped home, which we had been able to do in the past. That was disappointing.

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
We just walked this port as we have been to Ketchikan on several cruises. A nice shopping port.

Victoria, British Columbia

4 out of 5
This was a nice slow paced stop. We got a ride into town and just walked around.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Like embarkation, it was not well thought out and seemed to not have a steady flow like most disembarkations that we have done.

Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing photos after the refit. By the time the Legend has had her refit in June I will have been on it 3 times. I would love to go again after the refit, so thatโ€™s I can see what they have done.
