Review summary

We enjoyed the islands of Hawaii, very busy and time went by very fast. But the 5 days on the open ocean is not for me. The seas were to much movement for us and this ship is to small to keep someone busy for 5 days straight.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We arrived when scheduled and had less than a 30 minute wait, very smooth!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
This ship is fine for a first time cruiser. BUT it was not good during a 5 day ocean crossing with no days getting off. This ship is 17 years old and there is not much to do when its cold outside. Was very surprised the captain didn't close the overhead ceiling by the pool so people could have enjoyed the pool even when it was cold.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Compared to the new large ships and the new ones being built the Carnival Legend shows its age. They have pools, hot tubs and outdoor sports.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The stage shows were good, was disappointed in the comedy shows that were mostly rated R

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always this area excels, the staff go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The ship was clean but is surely showing its age of 17 years old. The bathroom door handles caught my eye as most were broken or had been repaired. On our balcony you could see so much rust and chunks of the ship missing.....

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room since you are only in the cabin to shower and sleep.

Ship tip

Look for a newer ship to sail on.

Ports of call

Honolulu, Oahu

5 out of 5
Lots of things to do and see.

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
We went to do a river boat cruise and see a grotto.

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5
Had friends pick us up and went to see beaches.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

5 out of 5
We rented a car, very easy experience, I would recommend Thrifty that is at a hotel right at the port.

Kahului, Maui

3 out of 5
We went to the Maui Ocean Center, which was very nice, but you really need to rent a car or do an excursion at this port. There is no where to walk and go do stuff since its right at the port.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
Vancouver is large, busy area. Would love to go back someday and spend some time there. We just took the bus from the port to the airport.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We carried off our luggage because we had an early flight out, was organized and easy.
