wrigley80 Posted October 5, 2012 Author #76 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Great review so far. Thinking of doing the Legend for spring break next year. What did you think of CD James Dunn? We got to know James when he was ACD on the Dream on two cruises and still keep in touch with him. Just interested to see what you thought of him! I think you just sold me on the Legend though and the hotel! Can't wait to read more! We didn't have James Dunn as our CD. We had Wee Jimmy......he is the one who wears the kilt. He was really funny too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott34787 Posted October 5, 2012 #78 Share Posted October 5, 2012 In Belize, if you walk to the right when exiting the dock, you will find a little courtyard with stores...there is small store there selling cold water and soda AND bags of hot mini donuts...they were DELICIOUS!! Please tell me more about these hot mini donuts you speak of! What store are they in??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dz63 Posted October 5, 2012 #82 Share Posted October 5, 2012 We were on the Legend in August. I am enjoying reliving the Legend through your photos and commentary. Your photos are wonderful and it looks like you had a terrific time too! Looking forward to reading and seeing the rest of your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted October 5, 2012 Author #83 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Great review and pictures! What kind of camera do you have? Where in Cozumel is Margaritaville? We are going on Legend in February! Can't wait. We are doingthe Cozumel Bar Hop:) I have a Panasonic Lumix with 14 megapixels. It is a great camera. I love it. Small enough to fit in your pocket. The Margaritaville in Cozumel is on the main street in between Puerta Maya pier and the Downtown pier. The Legend will dock at the Puerta Maya pier. Just jump in a taxi (it's too far to walk to) and as you are heading to town it will be on your left hard side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley80 Posted October 5, 2012 Author #86 Share Posted October 5, 2012 After we were done with our Manatee encounter, we jumped in a taxi and went back to the pier area because we wanted to do some shopping before we headed back to the ship. I really like this picture. Just look at the shape of the Carnival funnels on each ship. Can anyone tell me why the Legend's funnel is shaped the way it is??? :) I love Ron Jon Surf Shop. There are 2 shops in Cozumel....this one here at Puerta Maya pier and another one downtown. I had my very own mariachi band at Fat Tuesday's. They thought that my dad and I were married. :eek: I kept showing them...no ring...no married. Their English wasn't the best and my Spanish was worse :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted October 5, 2012 Author #87 Share Posted October 5, 2012 After a few drinks at Fat Tuesday's it was time to head back to the ship because it was time to do my favorite activity in Cozumel......watching the pier runners :eek: It never fails that you will have a few people running down that long pier. Always have a balcony cabin if you're cruising to Cozumel for this reason alone......:D And here they all come.....and what was their excuse for being late. The dolphin ate my watch :p The ships look massive when you look at them like this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted October 5, 2012 Author #88 Share Posted October 5, 2012 After being in the water with the manatees it was time to shower and get ready for dinner. Tonight I ordered Beef Stroganoff. It wasn't very good. I ate the noodles and that was about all. The sauce was very gritty...hard to explain but I wouldn't recommend ordering it. The warm chocolate melting cake made up for it.....so good Tonight we stayed up quite late because we didn't have anything planned for Belize so we weren't in a real hurry to get off the ship in the morning. When went to the sports bar for a few drinks. Other than the Serenity Deck, the Sports Bar was my favorite place to be. Then we went to the show and the late night comedian.

I remember back on the Liberty in 2009, our head waiter was a little detached, a man of few words. The night of the Beef Stroganoff, he said, "Please dont order that!" We took his word, forget what we ordered but had good food all that week, and my next cruise, I asked the waiter about it, and he said "just order anything else"! LOL. So, I guess I will never try it!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your pictures are fabulous! I'm so enjoying your review and your lovely attitude and sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your cruise with us. Your Dad is a trooper and you two look like you had a wonderful cruise. Can't wait for our cruise. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindfaz Posted October 6, 2012 #96 Share Posted October 6, 2012 what small country town in northern IL are you from, originally from northern IL, moved to FL 6 yrs ago, going on Legend for the 2nd time in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz63 Posted October 6, 2012 #97 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I have never been on the Legend, but I believe the funnel is shorter to fit under the bridge in Tampa. That is what I understand too--the Legend's funnel was specially designed to fit under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlee126 Posted October 6, 2012 #98 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hey, I really love your review so far! It's been great reading and seeing all about the Legend, as we will be on it this December.

So, I guess I will never try it!:D Yeah don't ever order it and if someone at your table...tell them not to. Not sure if it was the sauce, or the onions on top, or the beets. Still not sure why there were beets in the beef stroganoff. Definitely a lesson learned ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
