tadbconn Posted February 5, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Can anyone compare the two ships for me? I like the fact that the Legend leaves from NYC (to which we can drive) this summer -- but wonder if the Eastern itinerary of the Victory out of Miami is a better one.

lrizit Posted February 5, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Which itinerary were you looking at for the Victory? One is almost the same as the Legend. I was on the Victory in October 2003, and liked the ship a lot, but I'm sailing the Legend in June and looking forward to that one also. It looks to me as though they are similar enough that it would come down to pricing and whether or not you want to fly. I'd do either one of them to be honest. The Victory was a nice ship, but very green! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted February 5, 2005 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I agree with Laura: Having sailed Victory and LEgend I would go for price. But remember when looking for price I think Legend is a 8 day where Victory is only 7. Then add on airfare to the Victory. (I find that cruising out of Florida is a lot cheaper then going to NY even with air added.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrizit Posted February 5, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I just noticed the other 2 itineraries were only for March. I should investigate before opening my mouth :rolleyes:. Pricing too, depends on when you're planning on going in the summer too. I noticed the Legend sailings in mid to late summer can be rather pricey!

roscoesdream Posted February 5, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2005 The Victory is a good ship, but the Legend is a great ship. I liked the layout and the outside deck much better on the Legend. The rest was pretty much = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpagejr Posted February 5, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Cruised on Victory twice last year and really enjoyed the service and the Ship. Cruising on Legend next month...and will then be able to provide a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I find that cruising out of Florida is a lot cheaper then going to NY even with air added.) I guess I was looking at the Eastern itinerary for the Victory. Serene56: To sail on the Legend all I'd have is a 30-minute drive to the ship in NYC--no airfare at all. But add in airfare to/from Miami for the Victory, and the fact that the Legend is an extra day....I figure the two would be comparable. The itinerary for the Legend doesn't really give you much time at the 3 ports--more time at sea than the Victory. Thanks everyone for your input. Icepagejr: Can you let me know once you've gone on the Legend next month. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted February 6, 2005 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2005 http://www.cruiseclues.com scroll and look for the Victory and read read read then scroll and look for Carnival LEgend (not to be confused with the Legend of the Seas) and read read read.
