Review summary

7 day cruise turned to 8 days after an engine issue and a diversion to Port Canaveral for a medical emergency. Nice week (and a day).

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had a very late embarkation time that worked out great. Other than having to park in the overflow lot, very easy boarding process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Mostly good. One night, our meal was the perfect example of how people could be on a cruise and give opposing reviews. My dinner was fantastic and cooked to perfection, while at the same time, across the table, my wife’s meal was cold and potatoes were still hard, not even fully cooked. My review for that meal 5 stars, hers, 1 star. Most other meals were great. We didn’t always wait around for the dessert.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Mostly just used the casino. Less smoke than other cruises and a very nice staff.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Only watched a movie. The screen was a bit small for the size of the room. I wish the Legend had the big screen on the Lido Deck.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff seemed more stressed than previous trips, but still very nice and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I like the small ship. Easy to get around.

Thanks for your feedback. Your cruise is a good example of not doing back to back cruises on different cruise lines, because there could be delays.
