Luey Posted February 3, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hi - I went on the Legend a little less than two years ago (different itinerary at that time). My husband and I absolutely loved it. The boat at was in perfect condition. We had no complaints other than the decor is a little too gaudy for our taste, but that is always expected on Carnival. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

iluvdoxies Posted February 3, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2007 We loved the Legend, 2 yrs ago. Going again next month ! Food was excellent as well as staff. Plus we love the Spirit class ships. Nice adult pool and bar aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi149 Posted February 3, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hi, My husband and I were on the Legend this past Oct for a 2 night CTN. For those 2 nights we had a great time. The food was excellent and so was the service. We were in Cabin 6149 on the Empress Deck and our steward was Wade. He was excellent. He kept the cabin spotless, replaced the towels twice a day, cleaned up our dirty glasses. He was also extremely friendly with a great sense of humor. The food in the dining room we thought was excellent as was the service. Whenever we asked for something we received it quite quickly. We didn't eat in the buffet except right after we boarded when we had pizza so I really can't comment on the food over there. The pizza was really good though. The crew was really friendly also. I have read where some people said that Carnival crewmembers are not friendly. I did not find this at all. Whenever we walked in the hallways and we saw crewmembers they would always say hi to us and smile. The ship was very clean too. They were constantly cleaning something. A few times we even saw them washing the walls in the hallways....LOL!!! There were some spots where the carpet in the halls were a little worn but that didn't bother me. The only real complaint I have about that cruise was that it was way too short. So that is why we booked an 8 night cruise on the Miracle for June. :D You will have a great time on the Legend. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno3 Posted February 3, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2007 We (myself, DH and DS) are on the Legend April 15th. We were a little worried because I did a lot of homework on the Legend and the Miracle and we had picked the Miracle....then they changed ships. I know we will have a good time:D Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DqALEX Posted February 3, 2007 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was on the legend over New Years. It is a very nice ship, not to over the top. Would I do it again?? YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandreaming_again Posted February 3, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thanks everyone for the positive notes. There were so many negative reviews about the Legend lately that I was wondering what's up with that? It would have to be a really bad experience for me to have a horrible time. I'm going into it knowing I will have fun. With so many ports to see in July now I have to decide where and when and whether to book book excursions outside of Carnival....I'm so excited.

LHP Posted February 3, 2007 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2007 We have not been on the Legend specifically, but we love the Spirit Class ships. I think of them as having all the amenities of the Conquest class (except no fishnchips) with a lot less walking and 700 less people. On the Spirit class ships, there are no mid ship dead ends. I love the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teriad Posted February 3, 2007 #10 Share Posted February 3, 2007 We took the Legend in Sept 06 and had an absolutely wonderful time. The staff was very helpful and the food was good. We loved the Legend and would take another cruise on her again.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandreaming_again Posted February 3, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thanks for the good news, has anyone taken the Western Caribbean itinerary? We're going to Belize, Costa Maya, Cozumel and the Cayman Islands on the Legend, just not sure which excursions to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muumuu Posted February 3, 2007 #12 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Took a mother/daughter cruise on the Legend last Jan. Loved it so much we will be on her again the 12th of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown cruisers Posted February 3, 2007 #13 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thanks for the good news, has anyone taken the Western Caribbean itinerary? We're going to Belize, Costa Maya, Cozumel and the Cayman Islands on the Legend, just not sure which excursions to take. Just did the Western on the Miracle ......Had Moby dick tours for the rays in GC, but a LongIsland "sleep in" caused me to miss the excursion....we just took a cab to a beach where my wife snorkeled and I rented a jet skii...it was a nice day. .......Belize...CAVE TUBE DOT COM!!!!! AWESOME tour.......I plan on going back to take the kids....a Definite experience of a lifetime .........Costa we had heavy rain so the wife and I shopped for a bit at the port and had lunch(she thought the food was horrible/processed fake mexican cusine)...and returned to relax at the ship. .......Coz, we split a cab to Paradise Beach....GREAT day with GREAT food on the beach for little $$....$8/person round trip cab, $8 entry (included beach, snorkel, Chairs, umbrella and other non-motorized) and a fantastic on site beach restaurant $20-30 with a couple drinks. GREAT DAY for $40-45/person. The only disappointment is that that area isn't known for great underwater fish/scenery...but it was my first time out and didn't have the hang of the whole "breathing thru a tube" thing. This might help for Coz if you want water...... http://www.cozumelinsider.com/Beaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was far from nasty. While we were disappointed in the dining room food, there were a lot of good things about our cruise as well. I haven't been on a Carnival ship yet that I wouldn't go back on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
