Though the price was reasonable at roughly $100 per person per day, I didn't think the cruise had enough unique amenities and ports of call to make it worth repeating the trip. Carnival Legend offers several restaurants and a couple of innovative dining concepts. The Unicorn Cafe buffet restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but also serves 24-hour complimentary pizza and ice cream. The full-service Truffles is a 2-level dining room with 3-course menu and wine list. New for Truffles is the experience 'A Taste of Nouveau', where diners can sample dishes that are normally served in the fine-dining Nouveau steakhouse restaurant (formerly called Golden Fleece).
Grand Suite
Some of them have different options for the other eateries, but the menus are the same. Definitely think it's time to change things up a bit. Too many times we saw men coming into the Lido food area without shirts and people without shoes and no one was enforcing the need for shirts and shoes. We even saw people walking the ship in other areas without shoes ~ again not promoting healthy protocols.
Junior Suite
Of course, that price doesn't include gratuities or extras. (deck 3) The Holmes Library & Internet Cafe (17-seat, 24-hour venue) and the Wedding Chapel (30-seat venue) were replaced with a new video arcade The Warehouse. The Carnival ship Legend is of the company's Spirit-class liners, with sisterships the fleetmates Miracle, Pride, Spirit, and also Costa Atlantica and Costa Mediterranea. The vessel was christened by Judith Olivia Dench (Judi Dench) - British actress and author.
The highlight of our vacation was Thanksgiving Day.
Carnival recommended wearing masks indoors on the ship, but they weren't required, and few people wore them. However, dispensers of hand sanitizer were stationed around the boat, and we used them frequently. When I made our cruise reservations in April, Carnival required guests to provide proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test before sailing. We paid just under $3,500 for our five-person, seven-day trip.
Fun for the Adults
So many little stores on this island and lots of people trying to sell their trinkets. We got a van to take us around the island for $10 pp (at firstthey wanted $25pp) and saw everything there was to see. We ran into the ships tour, which took the same route for $40 pp. Our tour took us to a differnt part of the island where their was no begging and into an area where many Americans have moved into. It was off the beach had nice little shops, bars and eateries and was a lot less run down then the dock area. Do venture away from the dock here to see a little more of the island.
CRUISE HIVE NEWSLETTER
Don’t get us wrong — a Carnival Legend Vista Suite stateroom is a lovely room with all the suite fixings. But the thing to see here is truly the view that your balcony affords you. In February-March 2018, Carnival Legend was homeported in Melbourne Australia. In September 2023 Carnival announced Legend ship's homeporting in San Francisco (California USA) planned for 2025.

One of the glass elevators in the lobby area was out the entire cruise. Two in the bank of elevators just outside our cabin were in and out of service the entire time. Whatever you and your partner like to do together, you’ll find something fun for date night aboard this ship, from delicious dinners to live music, spots to just relax, or even shopping. If you book an interior stateroom, expect tight quarters, but enough room for two (comfortably). There were a lot of things to love about this vacation.
There were 2 people that could carry a tune, the others - yikes. We agreed the ship is showing her age and given the "pause" had expected they would have taken that time to do much needed work and upgrades. We cruise because we enjoy cruising and don't need all the new bells & whistles, but the Legend definitely could use some love. As for the cruise itself, we noticed the food portions weren't as large as in the paste and the menu wasn't super exciting.
It's taking over an hour to get through the luggage drop off and parking payment process. Both recent embarkation lines were out the door and to the back of the building even though we arrived during our scheduled timeframe. Head over to the on-board spa for a massage that’ll have you feeling as good as new.
In the summer months, the ship offers Alaskan roundtrip itineraries out of Seattle WA. On repositioning, the ship offers one-way cruises between Hawaii, Australia, and Alaska (Vancouver Canada). The Atlantis/Legend Lounge is the best place for a meet-and-greet with friends and a good cocktail. Follies Show lounge pampers with Las Vegas-style show programs, and Sing-along Piano Bar features karaoke, and live musical performances. The Dream Team Bar is the spot to watch your favorite sports team as it has large-screen TVs so you can catch the action and enjoy your favorite drinks. There is also Satchmo's Club and Billi's Piano Bar.
I was on the 10/12 sailing and had a great time. We flew in early so as not to be rushed by fling in same day. Stayed at the Embassy Suites and enjoyed a huge room with a nice cocktail party that night and a cooked to order breakfast the next morning. Stay away from the smoking rooms though as you can tell smokers have been there. Smell it as soon as the elvator stops on the smoking floors. Wife2B, we ALSO are in an extended balcony on the Verandah deck.
Grand Cayman was nice but we did have rain so we did not make the beache. We did do an island tour, somes shopping then retunres to the ship. Went to Paradise Beach and had great drinks and food. There is no beach entrance fee and you have free use of the chairs and umbrellas . For a $10 fee you can use all of the water sports and snorkeling equipment.
Balcony rooms are more spacious, but do note that there are several different types of balcony staterooms that you could end up with. There’s the standard balcony, but also balcony staterooms with obstructed views, extended balcony staterooms and premium balcony staterooms. If an obstructed view is going to put a damper on your trip, be sure to double and triple-check that that won’t be an issue in your booked cabin. I just got off Legend yesterday and drove 10 hours home. Got home late last night so I haven't had time to gather my thoughts. But I want you to know we had a wonderful cruise.
Dance away the night at the nightclub Medusa's Lair. Unfortunatley there was a storm over Belize so we never got there. Instead we stayed over night in Cozumel so everyone hit Carlos and Charlies and Senor Frogs. Next morning 3 more Carnival ships arrived so the port was crowded. We went back to the Beach (also crowded) and stayed until sailing time.
Try a Canada/New England sailing, they are nice. When we went a few months ago, it was really a long wait for drop off than parking. The carts were out for both your right and left, maybe not enough workers OR it was taking longer to pay and park, or just people ignoring their assigned times. I really don't have the answer, but once we parked, the line wasn't bad. I had a couple minor complaints about food/service with the seafood at the buffet, but everything else was okay for me.
