Legend of the Seas Borneo Cruise March 2013 Picture Review

[Iluvcruising2]

This is a painting by Paul Gauguin called Deux Tahitiennes (Two Tahitian Woman)(1899)

 

Thank you! I learnt something today.

This ship passed behind the Legend, as we turned towards the Marina Bay Cruise Terminal. At first, I thought it was the Voyager of the Seas as she was also due to arrive that morning.

 

[Iluvcruising2]

Our harbour is very busy. Many ships in the anchorage. The island of Singapore, famous for our port.

The Voyager had arrived earlier than us.

 

[Iluvcruising2]

The Voyager had just arrived from Australia and she would be headed to China later that day. Till date, the Voyager is the Royal Caribbean ship that our family had spent the most nights on - 22 in total.

The Legend slowly passing the Voyager, as the ship prepared to dock at the opposite pier, Marina Bay Cruise Terminal.

Moving slowly.

A tug boat was helping the Legend, pulling us I believe.

Nice view of the Legend’s deck and the Voyager.

Thanks for the amazing review and photos. I am sad to see it coming to an end but it must !!!

My girls were wondering 2 things......

1) Ice cream......does the machines have vanilla/chocolate swirl?

2) Any photos of the children/teen areas?

 

Thanks again, have a wonderful Easter!

There is the Voyager.

 

 

Great review and pics again! Just finished our 8 night cruise from Singapore to Shanghai in the Voyager of the Seas which departed the day you got back from your cruise. Had a wonderful time and would be posting a review when I get back home tomorrow night :)

Thanks again for taking us along on your journey. On the deck plans it shows a "sports court" on the aft of deck 9 but in some pictures I've seen of the ship it looks like there are chairs there. Did you go to that area of the ship? If so, could you describe it?

Hope you had a great Easter. He Lives!

 

1) yes they had the swirls. On some days it was strawberry and vanilla swirl

 

2) I didn't take photos of the kids' areas. Suffice to say that the teens area (optix) was very unutilised during our cruise.

Thanks for such a great review!

Interesting bottle. Does anybody know the significance of a topless woman portrait on this bottle of Camus?

 

First of all, thank you for you simply wonderful report.

This is a special serie of bottles dedicated by Camus to the grandest french painters. This "topless" is from a famous paint of the Tahitian period of the 19th century painter Paul Gauguin.

Yes, I went there. It was empty save for a few deck chairs, not sure what type of sports activities they held there.

 

That area can be accessed from Deck 10 near the Rock Wall, there are staircases leading down to the area. This area is just outside the Spa. When the curtains are not drawn, I could see the spa chairs from outside.

 

Our cabin, was Deck 8 aft. We did not have any noise from above Decks. Nice and quiet.

We have the same cabin you did for b2b2b cruises on Legend in 2014. Thanks, again, for your wonderful pictures and review and for the explanation of the Sports Deck.

What a wonderful pictorial adventure posting. My husband and I are on the Legend back to back, Panama Canal from San Diego this November and then continuing on the Southern Caribbean route for 26 days of cruising.

 

I so enjoyed your food pictures and especially the menus. As I was reading I mentioned some of the menu items to my husband and he was very excited about some things he enjoys. We always eat in the main dining room for most all of our meals and I too am hoping they put back eggs benedict on the menu, as that is a favorite of mine as well.

 

I have to say from start to end it took me three hours to read your review, but I just couldn't stop until I was finished. I'm so glad I found this today when you had completed it.

 

Thank you for also describing the Diamond Lounge, as we are Diamond cruisers with Royal Caribbean, but our last two cruises have been in full suites, so we enjoyed the Concierge Lounge, but knew this time we would not have that priveledge.

 

However on the second leg of our journey we will become Diamond Plus, so I'm hoping we might be able to accend to the Concierge Lounge once again. If not, I'm sure the Diamond Lounge will suffice.

 

Thank you so much, once again for taking your time to share with all of us, as I know it is very time consuming. I have saved your post, so I can refer to it as our cruise gets closer for reference.

This has been a wonderful review with spectacular pictures. I can't wait to sail on the Legend. :)
