Review summary

I would go again on the legend but on a different itinerary. Overall it was a great vacation

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Very good and quickly got on boat

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The main dining room food was great. The breakfast buffet was great but the lunch buffet was not to my liking maybe some other people liked it I just didn’t like the selections they had. The deli was very good. Love the grilled cheese sandwiches and the hot Dogs were amazingly very tasty.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Activities were so so. We mainly hit the pools and hung out in the serenity area.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were amazing. The cast is very talented and enjoyable to watch.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The ships personnel in general was very good especially in the main dining room

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was pretty nice. And I noticed a lot of the constantly cleaning hand rails and public area restrooms

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Our cabin was very nice and cozy. The beds are so comfortable that we didn’t want to get out of bed.

Ship tip

The Casino is not the place to be if you are not a smoker it’s very smoky and hard to breath in there.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida Did not visit port

Got on ship right away

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

1 out of 5
The excursion was good but the area was very dirty and it looked very poor and not to safe to walk around

Panama Canal Transit

3 out of 5
Panama Canal was ok but I got bored with it very quickly. Overrated

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Gran cayman is one of my favorite islands to visit. It’s beautiful and very clean and I felt safe walking around. Highly recommend

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth and quick

I’ve been on 26 cruises all of them 7 to 14 days I’ve been on many carnival ships and loved them all especially the Vista. May will be my first cruise on the Legend and I am hoping it be as good as the others. I also found Panama boring and did not like Costa Rica. I will not take a cruise again visiting those ports of call. Why did you give your cabin only one star if you liked it?

Why if you said room was cozy and you didnt want to get out of the bed you gave it a 1 star????

Thanks for the great review and I agree with you about the casino smoke. That is probably the worst thing about the Legend and the most complained about. I mean serious complaints. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
