sunonfire Posted October 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Welcome back, Legend! This was her first sailing from Tampa for this season. I have 2 cruises booked with her for 2020. I can't wait! I love to watch the ships do the 180 turn in Tampa. So cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port of Tampa Posted October 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Great we cruise on her in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Lady Posted October 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I love watching the ships dock or leave port... unfortunately I'm not usually up early enough to see the docking, so I tend to talk the webcams for departure! Last week I was in Miami for a conference and had a hotel room on the bay side of the Hilton downtown Miami! I had a front row view of all the cruiseships sailing down the cut to go out to sea! I also watch the Galveston webcam all the time, it's such an awesome sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlewis Posted October 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2019 We were booked on the Legend departing today but had to cancel on Tuesday after I broke my wrist and had surgery Friday. Will miss the wonderful times on the annual Halloween cruise. Looking forward to next Nov on the Legend and Journey cruise on the Breeze in January.

Sun, we here in Australia have been so so lucky for the last 5 years having Legend down-under ported...There's no better carnival ship then the Spirit class. Biggest passenger to space ratio & having Serenity out the back out of the wind & elements...Enjoy your 2 cruises... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Iowa Posted October 28, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Reviews, please.....all of you folks who will be fortunate enough to enjoy a cruise on Legend out of Tampa in the coming two months or so, please do your fellow (future) cruisers a big favor and write a review to post! TJlewis, sorry to hear about your wrist surgery preventing your planned trip. So very sorry you couldn't sail.

rwilk1129 Posted October 28, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2019 We love the Legend too. So glad it is back in Tampa. We have it booked for 11/17/19 and 2/2/20 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the trip down the channel + under the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Hated the terminal. Have they redone the terminal facilites since the early 2000's?

Kentucky816 Posted October 28, 2019 #10 Share Posted October 28, 2019 We just got back home yesterday from our Legend Journey's Cruise from LA to Tampa 10/12-10/27. I can tell you that we were very impressed how nice this cruise was. The crew is amazing, friendly, eager to help and engaging.....just a pleasure. The food in our opinion was the best so far on Carnival. The kept the ship very clean and they kept cleaning it 24/7. Highlights: Marina, Jose and Endy in the Red Frog Pub......outstanding !!! Entertainment: Band "Hot Shots" on Legend was the best we have heard....you have to catch them if you can. Usually playing in the Red Frog Pub. Also very good was "Emerald Trio" violins doing cover music......all three from Spain. Cruise Director: Jenn she was a hoot and kept up our spirits the whole 15 days, tough work. The only negative if there is one is that it was an Elite Casino Cruise as well , so the Casino could get really smoky !!! We love the Legend and have her book once again.....hope everyone enjoys her as much as we did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanadaydreaming Posted October 28, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 28, 2019 cant wait to depart Tampa Bay Port on 12/26 on Paradise, im looking forward to sailing under the Sunshine bridge with a MIami Vice in hand. this is my first departure from this port! oddly, I had a photograph from time magazine on my bedroom corkboard growing up. im sure a quick google search will bring it up for folks...it showed the aftermath of a oil tanker colliding with the original bridge, specifically the view from one car that stopped a few feet from the edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marci4tony Posted October 28, 2019 #15 Share Posted October 28, 2019 After she goes under the bridge (Sunshine?) we love watching for the pilot jumper - near de soto park. Make sure you go up to the top deck when you go under the bridge! There is not much clearance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have better luck than we did with that! January '18 - we got stuck in port for a little over an hour due to fog. By the time we made it to the Skyway, it was dark (and still foggy), and we had gone inside to eat! We're going to give it another go in December '20 though, on the Legend!

Juwarhala Posted October 29, 2019 #17 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm so excited for this. I'm going my first time on the Legend and my first time out of Tampa in December. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ from Ky Posted October 30, 2019 #19 Share Posted October 30, 2019 My daughter and I will be on Carnival Legend Sunday, November 3. We are really looking forward to this. We have been over the Skyway Bridge many times but we are excited about going under it on Legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapphire_407 Posted October 30, 2019 #20 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I'll be on it in February for the fourth cruise. I like watching everyone hold their breath when the ship goes under the Skyway Bridge. It looks like they clear it by inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc4125 Posted November 1, 2019 #21 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I love the Legend and am also happy she's back in Tampa. I was looking to book a cruise for Sept. 2020, but it looks like she's "gone" from May until November. Anyone know where she will be during those months? I tried doing a search but didn't come up with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
