maxs mom Posted January 23, 2014 #276 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Lisa.....They usually give you a list of your coupons in your cabin. It's hard to find sometimes because it is on the back of something else and most people don't realize it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecruiser Posted January 23, 2014 #279 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Loving your live review! On our Legend cruise last month, several times when asking to use a "coupon" at a bar, we were told, "You already used that one" and I would say, "No, I actually have not." The bartender would push some buttons on his terminal and then say "Oh, OK," and proceed to apply the proper discount. This happened at least three times on both my card and my wife's. This was somewhat annoying. Edited January 23, 2014 by telecruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derby bears Posted January 24, 2014 #283 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Lisa and Walt thank you again for allowing us a look into your cruise. Could you comment on the motion of the ship. I have read some reviews that the Legend bounces like a cork. We have been on the Grandeur a couple times and don't remember it being that bad. Thanks again and have a safe trip home.

It's hard to find sometimes because it is on the back of something else and most people don't realize it's there. List arrives on day one. I brought lots of magnets and posted the list and my itinerary + any invitations I wanted to accept on the wall next to the bed and kept my yellow highlighter and a pen on my night stand so I could check off used amenities. When I first got the list I put a star by the items I thought I would want to use. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare countess5 Posted January 24, 2014 #285 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Welcome back! Just watched your ship come in! I know you had a great time even though you were sick. :( Thanks for taking us along. It was great! Safe trip home.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Legend for the transatlantic this past October, and I'd say it would be tough to tell the difference in ship motion from Voyager class.

Thanks Bob...and I'm thinking it will depend on the motion of the ocean a lot. One week can be flat seas and the next can have lots of motion.

debshomespun Posted January 24, 2014 #288 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thank you so much Lisa and Walt for taking us all along with you. I'll wave to you when you get off...I'll be the first one in line to get on!! :D :D Have a safe trip home. I'm sure you will be glad to sleep in your own bed...then wishing you were back on the Legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamfinder Posted January 24, 2014 #289 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Happy homecoming to you both and glad you had a great time even though you were unwell for some of it. Thanks for taking time out to do your awesome reviews! Lisa you say that the 2nd formal night was ...3rd sea day. So second formal day is on day 9? Is there only the two formal nights because we were expecting to have three with it being an 11 night cruise? Have loved reading all your reviews, as we are on the 24th Feb sailing, and all your info is a great help. We are booked in for MTD but might consider swopping to fixed after your comments! Thanks again for all the info and photos, you looked stunning in your dresses. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHeadTexan Posted January 24, 2014 Author #290 Share Posted January 24, 2014 We made it out of the terminal by 7:15...one of the first off the ship. Now we are in the car heading to Savannah.

Lisa and Walt Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Thanks for allowing us to sail along with you for the past 11 days. We were on Legend the 10 days prior sailing. We felt that several items were not up to the RCI standards on Legend. However the wonderful itinerary and staff/entertainment made for a pleasurable cruise.

Thetrail Posted January 24, 2014 #294 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Today is the big day…it’s my birthday! My birthday gift from Walt was the Trike Aruba Tour and wow! But first things first. We were able to disembark at 10am and we did not need to leave for our tour until 1pm. So , we got off the ship and ran the gauntlet of independent tours to get into town. We did a little shopping at the shacks and then wandered over to The Paddock for lunch. The Paddock is the cow print building on the marina across from the ships on the marina. There are fantastic photo opportunities from the restaurant. We had a nice lunch and took pictures. After lunch we found a sidewalk that runs behind the Renaissance Hotel along the waterfront. We found that there are hundreds of iguanas living on the rocks and the property. We even stumbled upon their mid-day snack. Since it was getting close to 1pm, we headed back to the port to catch a cab with Kayter and friends to Trikes Aruba. This was an incredible 3 hour tour of the island. I highly recommend it even if you have never ridden a motorcycle. Walt has never driven one, but Michael Angelo taught him how to do and we are alive to tell the tale. There were 4 stops along the way so everyone had a chance to follow our guides. Oh, and our guides took pictures from the lead trike and those pictures will be posted on the Trikes-Aruba facebook page tomorrow. If you are looking for something different to do in Aruba, then you should consider this tour. Well, I must get ready for our dinner at Izumi tonight…more tomorrow. Lisa and Walt Happy belated birthday and thanks guys for sharing your cruise with us! Love the pic of the motorcycle/trike off the both of you! Can't wait to try that tour next trip to Aruba!:)...K.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetrail Posted January 24, 2014 #295 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I love this dress!

denamo Posted January 24, 2014 #296 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yes, Park West Galleries is back on RCI. They were on our Vision b2b in June. Art on Royal, which replaced PW, did not bring in the revenue as expected, so they went back to PW. On our Legend Jan.3 cruise, Park West did seem more low key on board than their previous stint with Royal's ships. The pictures are displayed fairly prominently in areas all over the ship. Remember the days when the auctions were held in the Centrum on Vision class ships and the auctioneer and the gavel rapping on the podium could be heard all the ship for what seemed hours every afternoon! The auctions were held in Anchors Aweigh Lounge which is really very out of the way. Never heard a peep out of the auctions unless you went there specifically.

tallcva3344 Posted January 24, 2014 #298 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Lisa, Walt, we miss you already. Just got back from our round trip on and off the ship. Apparently there are/were several folks with the "virus". One of the dancers, and others. They are sanitizing the ship. I do not think it was a major problem. Only one with norovirus I met was in the CL and the doctor gave him a shot in the butt, and kept him in the room for two days. Other than that I heard of a few folks with flu. So I am hoping it will be no big problem. There are several issues I will post. Some good, bad, and indifferent. Bottom line is we had a great cruise. However, I would have not booked this size ship again as a preference, and definitely not b2b. Again my preference. Joyce and I had a ball with you. We would like to book again with you. What a great attitude from two that were sick. You both made the most out of the cruise. Have a very safe trip back. I cannot believe how cold it is. That makes the next cruise feel even warmer. Your new friends Harry. &. Joyce Edited January 24, 2014 by tallcva3344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick and Jane Posted January 24, 2014 #299 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've also enjoyed reading about your journey on the Legend. Thank you for sharing! I was wondering whether you purchased an Internet package. I know you can do a lot of writing and editing prior to logging on.

RedHeadTexan Posted January 24, 2014 Author #300 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Dick and Jane, we bought the $99 plan which is 48 cents a minute. I typed everything in Word before logging on. Most of my internet time was used uploading photos. I read all the posts offline as well. This weekend I will post my overall impressions on the ship and itinerary.
