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.
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.
We are going from Sydney to Singapore in May then spending three weeks around Asia then going the Legend 6th of June to return to Sydney so will see the difference after the refit apparently getting guys burger and red frog so we were told at Christmas so should be great ๐... countdown to New Zealand in 18 days first .. enjoy guys happy cruising.. ๐น๐
Iโm 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 thatโs I can see what they have done.
mjjh.. unreal ...Iโm not sorry :-)they did not enjoy some people are just not happy with anything ..but donโt worry about the Legend we had a great Christmas cruise on her .. its going in for a refit June18 adding the burger bar , red frog Etc its an older ship but very clean and very efficient staff ..great service could not do enough for you went above and beyond and service in all areas was exceptional..spotless ship .. we done Alaska on her a few years ago it was the best would highly recommend the Legend roll on May sydney to Honolulu on the Legend .. countdown is once again on ...๐น๐
