Carnival Legend Cruise Reviews - Reviews

There was so much going on on the ship and so many things to see, we thought we were going to have down time, but rarely took any.  Then realized we could 'choose to do nothing' and that was fun too.

The food was great, We ate in the formal dining room all but one night and enjoyed our tablemates and made good friendships in the process.

Our adventure was topped when the ship had a malfunction that caused it to turn suddenly at 90 degrees.  Talk about getting your adrenaline going. . . but in reality it was no worse than hitting an air pocket on a flight.  Over all a wonderful trip.

The obstructed view was very obstructed, a lot more than we were lead to believe. I would never do that again.  The incident with the cruise ship having a propulsion problem that caused it to tilt was unsettling.  Overall, though it was a decent cruise but I do have reservations about Carnival in the future.

Cruise was excellent!  Enjoyed the ports of call and entertainment on the cruise.  The only problem was on the final day before getting to Victoria was when the cruise listed.  That was the scariest experience I have ever had on a cruise ship and hope to never experience again.  

This was an awesome Cruise!  The views are amazing!  Alaska is utterly spectacular. All of the staff aboard the ship were awesome very, kind very considerate, and helpful.  My sister has mobility issues and they were very willing to help her

Scenery was breathtaking. Always wanted to see Alaska. The four stops included, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and BC. I booked several excursions thru and saved approx. 30% over Carnivals prices. The food was outstanding and had a great selection on the dining menu. My only concern is that we did not spend enough time in Juneau, Ketchikan or BC. We spent 14 hours in Skagway. This should have been cut to 8 with the other hours spent in other ports. Only 6 hours in Ketchikan and 4 in BC.

There were plenty of senior citizens on board and seemed to have no clue when holding up the lunch buffet when looking at 5 different pcs of chicken before deciding which one to take-UGH!! They also had no problem when walking thru the aisles and then decided to stop and have a conversation blocking the aisles. The support staff was amazing and very friendly and willing to help at all times. Even though my wife and I are in our mid 60's a lot of cruisers are in power chairs and oxygen which slow up everyone and then spend all their free time in smoking areas. Would I take another cruise- absolutely not! too many people moving like turtles and more like adult and kid daycare.

If you only have the opportunity to take one cruise (or one more) in your lifetime, take the cruise to to Alaska.  From majestic sunrise to sunset, the beauty of Alaska is impossible to describe with mere words.  Even through the lens of a camera, it is difficult to capture the awesome views the eye can see.  The towns of Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway and Victoria, British Columbia were quaint and had so much to do.  Whales, bears, eagles and Salmon were just a few of the amazing wildlife we were honored to see.  As always, Carnival's service was exemplary.  The $$$$ value cannot be found in any other cruise.

this was our first cruise! we chose the right one. very relaxing no stress and the legend lives up to it's name. the staff were more than attentive when needed, addressed you on the decks. met a lot of people from everywhere and even from home. we decided on only one excursion during the entire cruise and choose correctly with the ultimate Yukon experience.  already planning another and we haven't even been home a week would recommend carnival cruise line to every one very relaxed atmosphere didn't want for anything.  And the towel animals were all given a name  

We really enjoyed our first cruise. I do wish there was a bit more to do related to the area that we were cruising. Michelle, the naturalist on our ship, did a fantastic job with her two or three talks she gave about Alaska, but I wish there had been more stuff like that and less things like hairy chest contests and karaoke. I don't think it needs to be either/or, just more stuff to do that's more intellectual would be nice. They don't even need to be done "live" to be effective. I would gladly have watched some pre-recorded talks on the Carnival TV channel. That channel had a lot of repeated content as it was, most of it uninteresting to us (the port of call shopping ads least of all) and it could benefit from some additional information about the history, culture and locale of the area we cruised.  I don't know if I missed it when we booked, but my wife and I were surprised when our table at dinner (a booth) was shared with another couple. The couple turned out to be really nice, but we didn't really have any warning that that would happen. It would be nice if we could specify that we would like to eat alone. It takes a lot of effort to make three hours of conversation with strangers every night. If we had been at a table of 8-10 it would have been easier, but forcing us to sit with people we didn't know and the politics of socializing requiring us to talk to them the entire time was a bit much. I know now we can do the "anytime dining" to alleviate this problem, but we didn't know it beforehand. It turned out to not be a big deal, but we both were surprised and if we cruise again, we will keep in mind that we'd prefer to eat alone.

We did have a great time on the cruise. Our excursions were all fantastic and we enjoyed them all very much. It is obvious that Carnival puts a lot of effort into making things run as smoothly as possible. I hope that all the crew and staff are well rewarded for making the cruise experience as easy as it all was. Our cruise director, Jamie Dee, did a great job keeping us informed about the ship's activities; I'm not sure she ever sleeps. Our waiters at dining were really fun and hospitable (I Nengah, Francis and Gunawan), and our housekeeper(s) (Ramon) were funny and thorough.   

The best vacation I have ever had! Alaska is beautiful. The staff on carnival is top notch, polite, kind, made you feel like you were the most important person there.

I do recommend. Great customer service. Wish they had more activities or designated area for children 0-2. I also wish they had at least one pool with warm water. I mean pool not jacuzzi. But overall it was Very memorable trip. 

First  The Carnival Legend just did not have the excitement of other cruise ships we had been on.  Needs to be updated 3 of the [ports are great but the last port Victoria B.C. arriving in the evening was just a waste of time would have been better spent in Ketchikan than stopping in Victoria.  Was not impressed with the Carnival Legend would not sail it again. 

Cruise was good but Boat and room was hot.Enjoyed the Casio. The bus and train ride in Skagway was long but enjoyed stopping a Caribou Crossing and playing with the puppies. Tracy's crab shack in Juneau was awesome. We really enjoyed the Carriage ride in Victoria. only thing I would change would be less time in Skagway and more time in other ports.

Views were great saw hundreds of Whale's along the way. Ship and crew were fabulous. Food was excellent. The weather could not have been better. Only problem was the pools were not warm and the hot tubes were filled with very young children ages 3 through 7. I asked!!. No supervision and no pool butlers or security to stop them from driving, jumping kicking and of course screaming. But they had a great time so I guess all is well that ends well.

Again thanks for a wonderful cruise. 

Is very hard to pinpoint one thing about the cruise that I enjoyed I enjoyed myself everything was fabulous the people were wonderful the captain I got to meet take pictures and greet with him the food was actually the service for spectacular of anything I would add another eating time so it doesn't get that crowded going on and off the boat was a little crowded and other than that everything will be as expected I will Cruise again will Carnival and hope to see you guys in the near future

Entertainment was disappointing  6/7 nights we had the same dancers (8) performing

Food line was very long. If we had to go to 5 different stations with different kind of food, eg. Americano, pizza, asian etc, we had to wait in line many times and exh time was about 15 minutes

Served Dinner was long  2 1/2 hours to complete dining

This cruise was truly incredible!  Alaska, the final frontier has been on my bucket list for years!  We chose to cruise, so that we could relax and not worry about driving, finding hotel accommodations and worrying about food and restaurants.   We had a large family and friends group of 19 and there was something for everyone aboard our ship from ages 3-76, everyone had a blast!  The food was superb, staff was friendly and and helpful, our cabin was perfect, and our experience in Alaska was all that we could have imagined!  

and the bears feeding on the salmon and the shows and scenery was great 

the staff was very helpful

The food was good and plenty ofit  nd the servise was good

Everyone was nice

was not given proper information regarding documentation, caused few members not to join the cruise. would not go in carnival again.

First time cruising on Carnival, pleasantly surprised with the ship, room, food, crew, entertainment and side trips. You have to be there to experience the views, pictures do no do them justice. Will surely think of them the next time I cruise.

This was a family vacation that was awesome.  The family did not want to go back to the real world.  The cruise personnel especially our steward and formal dinning staff were the best.  We loved them as family.  The only negative thing I can say is that there was a group of 20 young adults on the same cruise that were not supervised as they should have been and not enough time docked in Victoria, Canada.  They threw sporting balls overboard and were very rudely. Other than that the cruise was awesome and would definitely do it again.
