Review summary

We wished it could be better BUT we only spent 207 pp to go on the ship so that was a plus and an easy get away for us.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
busy as usual

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The Buffet only had 1 line open, the food was cold and waits were LONG. The main dining room was like eating in a school cafeteria - NOISEY and the food was so so. Do not order a steak or beef rare because they could NOT cook it properly. had to resort to chicken and fish meals. They actually did not serve bacon at breakfast 3 days of the cruise, said they were out.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
comedy club and main shows. they were so so as well but beats sitting around or being in the room.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
service was the worse we have experienced on a ship. If you saw your waiter more than at the time of ordering were were lucky. If I had to ask for more water again I was going to scream. Carnival obviously was short staffed

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Its an old ship, small, but we knew that going in.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
185 Sq/FT we get interior because we do not spend much time in the room so why pay for a balcony. it serves the purpose and is fine for us. The beds were very cumfy.

Ship tip

find a better line and enjoy the experience more.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5
a carnival cruise line tourist trap.. Nice weather we had though. The cookout on the island was terrible.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
we loved the island. we did a tour with MaMa's native Island experience and IT WAS GREAT. Half the price of Carnivals tours of the island.

Yes, Legend over/dated but my March cruise was Fabulous! Next time select a prime Balcony vs Inside + with Better sleep/openness, you’ll likely have a BETTER overall cruising experience!

Was on the April 3 sailing also. Loved it. Half Moon Cay is our favorite port, lovely beach. The price we paid was literally nothing compared to what we received.

Agree 100%. Had pretty much the same overall experience. Been on 36 Carnival cruises and will be going to a different cruise line in the future. Not only was the cruise terrible but trying to get someone to speak with about my experience is impossible. I have called 6 times and have been on hold a minimum of 1 1/2 hours each time. All with no luck. Carnival needs to have a reality check quickly before they loose alot more customers

I was on the Legend on Mar 20th and had pretty much the same experience that you had. However for the price I wasn't expecting much and like usual you get what you pay for.

How did you get the cruise for that cheap.? Since it was so bad, maybe cruising isn't for you.

Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. But you did sail during Spring Break.
