Jax129 Posted March 24, 2013 #226 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) I'm following along with Google Earth, so much fun, your reviews are great. I just finished your Aus/New Zealand review and now this. I hope you cruise again soon! Where did you dock in the Puerto Princesa? I'm looking at google earth & there's not much there.

wowprincess Posted March 24, 2013 #227 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks for the great pictures of Legend. We'll be onboard next April for the TA and am really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debshomespun Posted March 24, 2013 #228 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thank you so much for your in depth review. LOVE the pictures. We will be doing a B2B (21 glorious nights!) in Jan/Feb/2014. Can't wait to have the roast beef sandwiches. Do you know if the Park Cafe had the black forest cake? It is one of my favorite. Haven't had it since on the Allure in Oct/2011! Thanks again sooo much for taking the time to post all your GREAT PICTURES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelbuddies Posted March 24, 2013 #229 Share Posted March 24, 2013 This was the ‘secret staircase’. From Deck 8, near the aft cabins, there was this staircase that led directly to the Spa and Fitness centre, and very near the Solarium and the brand new Park Café! Very convenient for us. Was wondering if I can get on the secret stairs from deck 7 aft? Thanks for a fabulous review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #230 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Was wondering if I can get on the secret stairs from deck 7 aft? Thanks for a fabulous review. Unfortunately, no. Can't use this from Deck 7 aft. Glad you liked the review so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDailyMel Posted March 25, 2013 #231 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Do you know if the solarium pool is heated I was on the Rhapsody in July 2012 on an Alaskan cruise and I'm fairly certain the Solarium pool was heated. The refurb of the Legend looks pretty close to what the refurb of the Rhapsody was like, so I would guess it probably is. That's purely speculation though.

Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #232 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Where did you dock in the Puerto Princesa? I'm looking at google earth & there's not much there. The ship was docked in a container port, quite near the city Center. A 5 minute drive and we were already passing through the main street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #235 Share Posted March 25, 2013 By the time we got on to the boat, it was about 1:10pm. This was the view from the boat. This ride took a good 15 to 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #236 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Don’t underestimate those long sticks. They keep the boat from rocking too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #237 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) The boat ride continues. We would be making a right turn ahead. This was after the right turn. You can make out other boats ahead, at the beach where we were supposed to land. Edited March 25, 2013 by Iluvcruising2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #238 Share Posted March 25, 2013 As we approach the beach, one boatman stood up, ready to do the necessary. (The other boatman was driving the boat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #239 Share Posted March 25, 2013 This was taken from the beach after we landed. There wasn’t any pier. The boat just beached itself and we jumped off the boat onto the sand. By this time we had taken off all our shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #241 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Now, we head towards the underground river. This was 1:30pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvcruising2 Posted March 25, 2013 Author #242 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It was a hundred meter walk via a board walk to the waiting area for the underground river boat ride. This was what we saw when we got there. Not exactly happy faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
