Review summary
This was a quick cruise not plan but at the last minute (about 30 days prior)... We needed a vacation before summer and a training cruising for our Journey Cruise this fall was what we needed. We enjoyed doing mostly... NOTHING on board!!! ;-)Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Truffles Restaurant
If you've ever been out of Baltimore, MD you will understand my comment. What makes the Truffles Restaurant a truly unique experience goes beyond the food, the service by itself (eventough we had the chance to be served on several evening (we usualy ctuise with the YTD option) by an outstanding crew (Jerry / Romano / Emmanuel)).I would simply call the overall expereince the "Ken Factor" the Sr Maitre D of the MDR of Carnival Legend. Not only can we see him working hard to try make everything as perfect as possible, but he likes to keep us entertain during dinner with his singing. Thank you Ken
Farenheit 555
Now it is call "Nouveau Restaurant"Our first time at the Steakhouse but what a WOW we got. The decor (especially at sunset) and ambiance does make it a must in my opinion.The personnel was so attentive to our needs and making the overall experience a definite hard to forget event that you can almost forget about talking about the food!!! A very big Thanks to Narendra and his crew members Liudmyla and Puii for a job well done and of course I would extend by thanks and appreciation to the Cooks that we never get a chance to thank.Talking about the food, just incredible to try to imagine that we were on the last day of the cruise when we went, but it was like they received the ingredients a couple of hours before our arrival to restaurant. The temperature of our food was perfect to our liking eventhough my wife and I do not eat our meat the same way. The taste was just amazing. What more to ask.Once again a definite 5 stars for us... Actually we liked the experience so much, that we made a reservation right after the meal for our upcomming cruise this fall
The Carnival Deli
A very nice hidden (well not so much) hidden gem if you are looking for compfort food.
Pizza Pirate
Called Pizza Pirate onboardA venue that you will most likely stop at least once during your cruise. Not only is it open open almost around the clock, but you should be able to find one to your liking... Mine is the "Quatro" !
Onboard Activities
Enchanted Forest Interior Promenade
Sorry added to the wrong sectionAKA "Noah's Ark" Nice quiet place on board!!! With not much to do... But taking time to do close to nothing!!! ;-)
Mini Golf
Sorry added to the wrong section !!!!The biggest problem with the mini golf on board is it's location. Being Forward/Top deck it gets to be quite windy. It might add to the chalenge but at the same time because of the conditions during our cruise it was closed on many occasions.
Serenity Adult-Only Retreat
Sorry added to the wrong section!!!I gave the 4 stars simply because it wasn't large enough on our cruise (Mostly an adult cruise). A nice place to let Adults be adults while Kids can be Kids elsewhere.
