Carnival Legend Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We took the Carnival Legend for the 7 night Western Carribean (Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, Isla Rotoan) cruise. My husband's first cruise, my 5th. We had a wonderful time and the itinerary was just the right pace - not rushed and not boring. We read reviews of the ship and the decor was as expected; an older ship with a greek mythology theme. At 80% capacity, the ship didn't feel "over booked". Our cruises only consultant, Justin, recommended wonderful excursions and we weren't disappointed. Exceptional value for the price!

Great cruise and very fun. Hard to get many of the workers to understand you since they spoke VERY little english. Pools & hot tubs were way to small for the amount of people but there was enough to keep you busy. They need to change the times you get into port and maybe give you a couple more hours. We have already booked our next cruise...

Was leary of Carnival as I was more familiar with other cruise lines, but was pleasantly surprised by everything about it from the ship itself to the people. Great service, entertainment. We even put a deposit down to book a future Carnival cruise!

The Carnival Legend did not measure up to other cruise lines and cruise ships we have been on in the past 15 years. The ship was worn looking, our cabin smelled of vomit and our cabin steward compensated for it by sprinkling coffee grounds around the room to mask the odor of vomit. The food was mediocre at best, as was the entertainment with the exception of the first comedian, Happy Cole. The cruise director, Wee Jimmy, was terrible and both he and his staff need a crash course in organizing events.

This was our 25th wedding anniversary cruise. I did much research in determining our cruise and we were not disappointed. The staff was incredible in all areas. Very helpful and always polite. We chose this cruise for the number of ports we visited (4) in a short period of time as we didn't want to be sailing all the time.

The ship was very clean. The crew was always cleaning and keeping things in "Ship Shape". The food was outstanding. You were able to get just about anything you wanted and plenty. Our table waiter and assistant always treated us very well. It was like a 5 star restaurant. We became friends during the cruise. Our cabin attendants kept our cabin clean twice a day. Always at our becken call. Whatever we needed, they were happy to serve us. The entertainment was excellent. I enjoyed every show. Don't you miss any. Magic acts, balancing acts, bingo and great musical shows. The dancers were very talented. In the ports that we visited, plenty of shopping, beach and good times. I recommend this cruise, you will be glad you went.

The Legend is a very elegant ship with plently of space for all. It was a pleasure to be one of her passengers.

Excellent staff! Very nice and clean ship!! Food was good and always something available!

We were so impressed by how clean the ship was, top to bottom, inside out. Crew is constantly performing tasks to keep everything spotless. Our waiter was excellent. He also was quite the performer on several occasions and is clearly a dining room favorite as well. Our room steward was also first rate. It would be hard to imagine a more enjoyable, relaxing and romantic week. We eagerly look forward to our next Carnival cruise.

our ship the Legend was beautiful, with clean stateroom, bathrooms throughout the ship, elegent atmosphere, and convenient elevators everywhere. the staff was not only hard working and friendly but they actually seemed to enjoy the cruise as much as we did. Our stateroom was kept spotless for us even though we sailed with our 13 year old grandson who seemed to change every hour. The activites aboard for our grandson were interesting and kept him involved . Again the staff, from our room steward to the dinning room waiters were friendly and help to make our cruise the best ever.

We really enjoyed ourselves on this cruise. The ship was very clean and not too big so it was easy to get around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. While 4 ports in 7 days felt like a lot and was a little tiring the itinerary was great and we really enjoyed each port. The food was delicious and we ate in the dining room every night. We had very friendly and efficeint waitors too.

Ship was well run, clean, and the decor did not bother me like I had heard beforehand. I did find some things that bothered others not a problem sometimes and other times things that others raved about I didn't like. Either I had unique experiences or I have unique desires, or there have been changes made by Carnival. Noted in specific comments.

LOVE IT! ME AN MY WIFE REALLY ENJOYED SWIMMING WITH THE DOLPHINS IN HOUNDURAS! THE SHIP(LEGEND) CARNIVAL WAS GREAT AS WELL. WE MEET A COUPLE OUR AGE AND WE ALL HANGED OUT. REALLY JUST HAD A BLAST!

Although we have done several small ship cruises, we have not been on a large ship cruise before, though we did cross the Atlantic on the QEII 20 years ago, so we were not sure what to expect when we booked a western Caribbean week on the Carnival Legend. Yes, there are a lot of people aboard, and not all of them are polite, but on the whole the passengers were pleasant, friendly, & helpful. We heard there were 600 children under 18 on board but they were well behaved and must have been enjoying their own activities, as we rarely saw them. The crew keeps a spotless ship, even in the constantly-in-use cafeteria and around the other public spaces. The food is quite good, not gourmet but with lots of variety, and when one tires of what is being served there is even more choice in the self serve areas, including pretty good ice cream (custard). The shows, which I had expected to be mediocre, were quite fabulous, with excellent dancers and gorgeous costumes. As I mentioned above, the singing was miked too loud for our ears (a modern phenomenon I suspect). The specialty shows, magician, juggler, etc. were top notch. Our veranda suite was roomy, attractive and except for the constant engine/a/c noise very quiet. Watch out for occasional soot on the chairs if you get a rear suite; the steward will give you towels to sit on to protect your clothes. If you don't like walking take note of how far your cabin choice is from the elevators. The ship's decor, what can I say? Really kitchy, but it grows on you after a few days. It is kept in immaculate condition, however, for we frequently observed crew cleaning the molding, the decks, the windows, everything. There is a lot of emphasis on shopping, on board and in every port, so brace yourself and decide ahead of time what items you might really need or want--all those diamonds make for a heady atmosphere! We took two of the Carnival planned tours and particularly enjoyed the Goff Caye snorkeling expedition with great fish and lovely beach. The Roatan sail and snorkel trip was less successful as the snorkeling area was quite riled up. Watch for big changes in Roatan as they are building a whole new Carnival docking area there. The other two stops we built our own trips, being very careful to get back to the ship on time. Yes, I'd go again, and I think I would choose the Legend.

Carnival lived up to its reputation as a "party" ship. I would have like a little more info about the visited ports before we got there. The "library" could barely be called one. In spite of those things, the crew, food, accomodations, all else was splendid!

The people are very friendly. Good Food. I like the fact that most of the rooms have balconies. I was not too happy with the room decorations or the bathrooms (hospital-like). Good size, though.

The shipboard activities were very disappointing.

We just finished our first cruise on the Carnival Legend. All we can do is rave about our experience. WOW! From the first moment we set foot on the ship all the staff were very gracious and helpful and the service everywhere was excellent. We chose not to do the more popular stuff such as the casino, pools, hottubs, or bars/lounges, and there was still plenty for us to do. We relaxed in a quiet spot on deck in the lounge chairs, took lots of naps (I know, I know, but we have 5 kids age 9 and under and don't get to do that much at home!), watched the shows - which were wonderful - and spent quality time together. The food was much better than expected, and we did each gain 5 lbs, but what fabulous food and service! All the ports of call were fabulous, and we can't wait to go on another cruise.

We had a great time, the staff really caters to you, they go out of their way to make sure you enjoys your Vacation, the bed is always made your room is always clean, and the designs they make with towels is something you look forward in the afternoons, the food was good, Drinks could be better

The ship was great. It had everything I wanted...entertainment, pools, shopping, friendly and fun staff!
