Review summary

We did not plan on taking a cruise in November, but our agent got a deal we couldn't pass. This is a bit of an older ship but was so relaxed and no lines. I actually asked if the ship was full at guest services. I would take this cruise again. Not a ship if your looking for a party.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The smoothest I have had. Actually on the Lido deck with a drink 15min. Before my actual booked boarding time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was very good. Not the best but enjoyed every meal.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Chairs were abundant at pool. You could walk out at mid morning and still get chairs at pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All entertainment was very good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Waiters great job. Room steward was solid, if was to complain we had coffee ring on side table all week. In defence we do not like cut back to one service per day from steward when we use to get two. We realize these guys have a busy day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This was second smallest Carnival ship we sailed and loved the decor and the layout

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Was clean and comfortable. Bit of obstructed view but did not affect my coffee n the morning or my 4pm scotch on the balcony!

Ship tip

Quiet ship if you are looking for a loud party ship, this is not it.

Ports of call

I like Tampa.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Second visit. Took the bus 2.25pp to seven mile beach. Best beach our second visit. Some of the friendliest and helpful people we have met on cruise stops.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
We booked an excursion that fell through, but pouring rain in morning so not a game breaker. Do not like the up charge to use a private beach of a cruise line I already paid to cruise on. The beach and water meh

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Second visit. Did a snorkel Coral garden and stingrays n shark excursion. My wife hates snorkeling. Did not mention shark part till we were at pier. (Nurse sharks) She had a great time. Said she would do it again. https://www.splashwavetour.com Best stop.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Went to Carlos N Charlie's. Free beach if you buy a drink. We ate lunch and 2 overly watered down drinks. Beach was decent, it is Cozumel so lots of foot and water traffic.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This was by far the best least stressful disembarking I have experienced. Scheduled for 10am and were through customs by 945. Amazing.

Good review. Thank you I like the Legend. Sailed her to Alaska 2.5 years ago. A nice old ship.
