Congrats on the upcoming Wedding! and as far as the cruise is concerned you are already off to a good start as you have found a great place to get advice and questions answered. The best thing I can offer is Go have Fun and Enjoy yourself......Go with the Flow:D:p:D

Congrats on the marriage. The best advice I can give is to just do what YOU want to do. If you want to sit by the pool all day and read a book then do that. Each night your room steward will leave the "Carnival Fun Times" in your room. That is the daily news letter showing what's going on around the ship the following day. Read through that to see if there are any activities you would like to do. There's always something to do (if you want to do it). Other then that just have a great time. I don't see how you won't

Congrats on your wedding. The advice I have for you is to "enjoy yourself and have fun"- it really counts up at the end of the cruise that you have fun. :D

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. As already mentioned, relax and enjoy every moment of your upcoming cruise. You could not have picked a better CCL ship than The Legend-still my favorite!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding. My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon on the Legend 2 years ago! It is a beautiful ship. We were surprised to see the Skyway bridge ( as we were new to cc and had never heard about it) so be ready shortly after sail off to see, in my opinion, a beautiful sight.

 

Any specific questions... Just ask ;)

Do some research on each of the ports of call on the ports of call boards in here.

 

You can get great ideas of what activities are offered at each port, for how much $$$ and what you thinkthe two of you will enjoy.

 

Just read Legend reviews on this board to find out anything you want to know about the ship itself.

 

Have a great honeymoon.

Congrats.

One thing to add to all the good advice you're getting. Be sure you get the littte card with the ship diagram on it so you can find your way around. They give them out when ytou board but sometimes they miss people. You can always get one at guest services. Congrats and best wishes.

What a perfect ship for a honeymoon! DH and I (in our early 50s) were on the Legend in December. Among the most memorable activities for us were afternoon tea on the last sea day and going down the slide (what a blast!). The casino was also very kind to me, but that may have been a fluke! :)

 

Congrats and enjoy!

Welcome and congratulations!!

My advice... don't try to do everything. There's an amazing amount going on constantly and you can just wear yourself out trying to keep up. Try a few things a little out of your comfort zone... try something new at dinner... chat with some folks you might not normally socialize with... smile and say hello to the crew, they love it... take some time to do nothing other than glory at being on the sea... dance like no one is looking... sing like you're preforming at the Met. Breath deep and relax. For a week you shed all of your troubles and responsbilities... it's one of those very rare opportunities when you get to be a kid again.

Enjoy...

:)
