ShakyBeef Posted November 18, 2019 #26 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks for the news, OP. I'll miss Pride, but I look forward to sailing on another Spirit class ship. So, since I've never sailed Legend before, I was just doing the side-by-side comparison on Carnival's site. The impression I get is that they truly are sister ships - almost identical twins! With the disappointing difference of no Alchemy Bar on Legend. But with the pleasing difference of no gigantic movie screen on Legend's Lido. And Legend still has her Library, it appears. So I guess that kinda balances out the equation, IMO. Alright, Carnival, I suppose you have my approval for this move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is a 5 week drydock after the TA and before the rest of the Europe itineraries begin so she might get some of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, she'll probably get the big, stupid, loud screen. (Boo. Hiss.) And she'll most likely get an Alchemy Bar, as well. (Yay.)

Rare WhaleTailFlCruiser Posted November 18, 2019 #29 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I wish Tampa Could accommodate bigger ships ( I Live all of 40mins from the Port of Tampa) But having the Pride will do I suppose, IT at least has the seaside theater which I love watching movies out on deck at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa has the same problem as New York and that is sailing under bridges. The port/terminal itself can handle bigger ships, these bigger ships is also too high/tall that prevent it from sailing under bridges. For Tampa, ships to need to less then 180ft tall to fit under the Skyway Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they'll be sorry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, Carnival, I suppose you have my approval for this move. Per Carnival website the Legend currently has the Alchemy Bar. I've read the Legend is scheduled for a major dry dock in 2021 in Spain prior to arriving at Baltimore in November 2021. My guess, CCL will be adding the Dive in movies, the library and the chapel will be replaced with an arcade. Assuming the arcade is moved they will enhancement/enlarge the youth space. My hope is they add a food venue that is similar to what is on the newer ships. The only thing that will be missing is the crew, we have made friends with some crew members and have seen them on multiple cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho nuff, it sure does have it - right there on Deck Two Aft, outside the MDR, in the familial location! My mistake, I realize now looking back at the side-by-side, I saw the "Alchemy Martini Tasting" line item (which Pride has but Legend does not) and mistook it for "Alchemy Bar". Oops. Thanks for setting me straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toad455 Posted November 21, 2019 #35 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Long overdue, IMO. Feels like the Pride's been sailing out of Baltimore for over a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
