Debarkation was a breeze. I had arranged for a driver to take us to the airport. No problems. Now at one of the clubs.

The $25 credit was a CASINO offer, not a Carnival Cruise Line offer. Put the blame where it belongs - on the CASINO.

Our cabin also has a new, larger TV, so those likely went in wherever possible. I'm guessing a new phone system. They must have fiddled with the elevators (or maybe they were always like that). The elevator buttons don't always stay lit, but the elevators are probably still working. Once there was one that toggled endlessly between floors, but could be convinced to go elsewhere. LED lights in the ceiling.

It makes sense to dump the $25 credit. Carnival already wrecked the loyalty program by awarding sail days to cruisers on basically free cruises. More and more of the $25 casino credits were going to people already cruising for free and likely already had fun play. How many dips in the well do people want?

You're welcome, and yes, they do. New bedside lamps with USB and 120 volt outlet.

Got $25 cash last night on Carnival Legend. Put it in my pocket.

Any cruise beats staying home - especially with the weather back home. Electricity [for others] was off and on. Our generator hummed along unsupervised.

But I'm Diamond!

You're welcome and thank you! There is a satellite coffee shop. Right next to the pizza place.

This has been a great, but exhausting cruise.

Of course American Airlines wanted to make sure we didn't forget about them, so Travel Date: Friday, June 7, 2024 Due to an expected increase in travelers departing from Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN) and a required temporary bus service to board the aircraft, American Airlines is encouraging customers to arrive 3 hours prior to departure to allow for extra time to check-in, clear the Security and Passport Control checkpoints, and arrive at the assigned gate.

I believe it, but strange how the only Italian port where the ship TOLD us to take our passports ashore was in Civitavecchia - where a lot of people might be taking trains. The next day in Livorno, a drivers license was okay. The authorities should have access to the ship's manifest to quickly determine if someone belongs. The Italian ports we visited were Messina, Naples, Civitavecchia, and Livorno. Today we are in France (Toulon). Our excursion was cancelled fro lack of participation, so considering taking an Uber to do the same thing. The cost looks to be about the same.

No problem carrying on a bottle of wine today.

I guess so many complaints the ship did an about face

Every day I become more suspicious. But true. Try not to be stupid. I am expecting copycats.

That's what SHE says. I frankly don't think she is being completely honest. Maybe less.

If this is Wednesday, we must be in Livorno. And one ugly neighboring ship

Correction - there was Quest last night! 😺

Not really unless they are listed in the Funtimes. I plan on posting all of those. I find most CDs annoying so don't really listen to anything they say. 🙂 Pretty sure I heard there will be the Quest, though.

I suppose I might open it up for picture requests. Cabin pictures excepted (not accepted). On problem I have is we haven't been on Legend in years, so I'm not sure exactly what was changed in the most recent dry dock. This is what Carnival says was done, so I guess that will be what I try to tackle. Without another sea day and long port day excursions, what time is left is limited. Completed during drydock 4/27/24-5/29/24 Routine hotel maintenance Cosmetic enhancements such as new carpeting and tiling, etc. in lounges, public areas and public restrooms ADA compliant updates throughout public areas and select staterooms 5 new cabins and dedicated Chef's Table added to Deck 1 (replaced lower level of Nightclub) Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge (replaced Sports Bar) Updated and expanded Casino lay-out and removed the casino bar Dream's Studio added to Deck 2 Nightclub lay-out changed on Deck 2 (removed lower level from Deck 1) Carnival Adventures Store added to Deck 3 Circle 'C' and Camp Ocean spaces have been updated Spa Carnival rebranded as Cloud 9 Spa Added Carnival Seaside Theater on Lido Deck and removed hot tub spa from Avalon pool Steakhouse rebranded as Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse New mini golf course installed
