Review summary

Great cruise! Not sure if I would sail on the Legend again. I prefer a larger ship with more to do. However it was a good, nice cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy embarkation. However, they had posts with your arrival time & some where over on the staff side. It was a little confusing. We were waiting when we could have been on the ship already.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was good across the board! We only ate in the MDR & buffet. We had reservations for the Steakhouse, but canceled because the MDR had similar food & was delicious! We did do the Dr. Suess breakfast with the kids. Food was good & was a cute experience.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
In our cruise group, people who have been on the Legend in the past complained about how little activities this cruise had. I felt there was ample to do. The shows were ok, the comedian I saw (Murry V) was great! The Fitness center was nice, however the one hot tub I went in on the lido was not hot at all, which was disapointing. Didn't try any others. This is a small ship, so don't expect a ton of activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
DJ was good! Rock show was good, didn't really enjoy The Brits. Comedians were funny!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My kids (both 9 y/o) enjoyed going.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our dining staff was top notch! Request Dedy & his crew if you can! Our cabin steward was fine; did his job. Nothing more, nothing less. The cruise director Ian was in training & it showed. I'll just leave it as that. .... All in all, the staff was super friendly & always spoke with a smile! Enjoyed them all!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Easy to navigate design & was clean. However, it is an old ship so definitely showing its signs of wear. There was an area near the coffee bar on deck 2 that constantly leaked. People complained that the room temperatures were not constant & there were times when the AC went out completely. Then when it was running, it had a tendency to be very cold.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
We had a standard balcony room. My husband & I and 2 kids. Was tight, but we managed. Hate the shower curtain, but what can you do. Room was clean enough. I did the rest.

Ship tip

Accept this is an old ship & to not expect perfection.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
Didn't expect much given what I have heard. Woke up to a very industrial looking port. However, I really enjoyed it. People were very friendly & the shopping was fun!

Bimini, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Bimini was beautiful! We did the resorts world excursion. The beach was pristine!

Baltimore, Maryland

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Wish we were able to stay in our rooms & they called us down to disembark by deck. Less congestion on the elevators. We had to carry our luggage down 6 flights. I like to workout, but didn't enjoy, lol. Other than that, was ok.
