Review summary

Terrible cruise overall. Food and shows were lacking. If it weren’t for us being in a big group, we would’ve had an awful time. Being with friends and family made it tolerable. Half moon cay was the best day out of the 7 days we cruised. The days at sea were the worst since there was nothing to do..couldn’t go to the pool because the weather was terrible most days. The service from the waiters was the worst I’ve experienced in all of my cruising days. They were not friendly and seemed annoyed when ordering dinner so we ended up doing the buffet most nights because we didn’t feel comfortable at our sit down.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food quality was awful. Disappointed at almost every meal. Lacking flavor and overcooked

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools were nice as well as the green drop floor slide. The yellow slide was so slow and people were getting stuck on them and had to scoot themselves down the entire way.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Shows were elementary school show quality..seen much better shows on Royal Caribbean and Disney cruise lines. DCL shows are pretty much broadway quality. The shows on the carnival legend were disappointing and the kids were bored.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
Kids went one time and refused to go back. Said they were bored out of their minds.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Worst service I’ve experienced on a cruise. Waiters seem bothered/annoyed when ordering dinner. Did not go above and beyond as I’ve experienced on other cruise ships. Were barely even friendly

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Ship is old and creaking. Elevators were malfunctioning. We heard multiple people complaining about water coming into their staterooms through the windows or balcony doors.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Room was tight and I wish there were more drawers to organize our clothes for a 7 day cruise. The clothes hangers in the cabinet didn’t even match. Some were metal, plastic and wood. Looks super cheap

Ship tip

Do not sail on this ship

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Hated getting hustled by the vendors to rent beach chairs for $10/chair to sit for a few hours. Felt like everyone was very pushy when trying to shop at the markets

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Did not visit port

Was not able to stop because of weather conditions

Sorry this cruise did not meet your expectations. Research in the future for a ship that may be newer.

Oh, but I didn't care whether the hangers matched!

Cruised out of Baltimore many times and it was great. On the Legend twice this year, last MI th and August. Journey cruises and it was wonderful.
