Sailing the sea is much more fun if one is cruising onboard a ship; for seafarers, there is no better way to go than to take a cruise. Engage oneself in the many activities onboard, visit exotic ports of call, or simply watch the gorgeous scenery pass by while you dine in luxury. Heading out to see on the Carnival Legend is one way in which you can experience all of the glory of taking a cruise.
Part of the Spirit class, the Legend offers guests all the amenities of a world-class resort with the added bonus of visiting different locales. Adults will fine many opportunities for fun aboard the ship, including, a casino called the Club Merlin Casino, a performance theater/lounge known as Follies, and an exclusive dining club called The Golden Fleece Supper Club. With sixteen bars and lounges, a fitness center, library, and two dance clubs, every interest can find appeasement onboard the Legend.
Other amenities are offered onboard the ship; many are suited to both adults and children. Some are exclusively for the kids. Three swimming pools, a jogging track, and mini-golf offer kids and adults something to do. Children can participate in the youth program or visit the children’s playroom or teen center. One other great amenity is the babysitting service that is available on the Carnival Legend.

Carnival Legend Honeymooners from Canada (November 2009).
Unbelievable honeymoon! 15 points out of 10!
You know those negative reviews people write that tend to freak you out (like they did to me), I don’t believe any of it. I’m pretty sure they are written by people who simply can’t be pleased with anything.
Here’s why:
On the first night, we were very nervous when we left the Port of Tampa due to Hurricane Ida. I was sad because I figured our honeymoon was ruined. That night, the decks were closed due to the high winds, but there was so much onboard fun that no one seemed to notice. The Captain diverted us wonderfully, and we woke up to sunshine and PARADISE!
Ship: Breathtaking! VERY clean…and so beautiful. Like being in a museum for a week.
Motion sickness: (I usually get sick travelling). You will NOT know you’re on a ship. We sailed around Hurricane Ida, and while it rocked a little due to the hurricane, I did not feel ill once. Otherwise, it doesn’t feel like you’re even moving.
Service: TOP notch! The hallway floor outside our stateroom was damp one night and the next morning, we had a message from customer service saying they had credited our account over $40 for the “inconvenience.” We hardly noticed the water outside our room…and they gave us a random refund.
Food: Amazing, unlimited, LOTS of variety! Whatever you can think of, you can pretty much get. You feel like you’re fine dining every night for dinner! My husband and I gained over 5 pounds each.
Entertainment: Excellent. Big jackpot Bingos, dancers, broadway style shows, something for everyone and something always going on! NEVER bored!
Rooms: Immaculately clean. You leave your room for 15 minutes, come back, and it was ‘magically’ cleaned! Lots of storage space. GET A BALCONY! SO worth the money! You can relax under the stars, or before dinner, or have your breakfast delivered to you in the morning to eat on your balcony. So relaxing!
Shore Excursions: Book with Carnival. Some people say to book on-shore with locals for cheaper, but we thought that it seemed a little sketchy. Carnival’s guides seemed really knowledgable, they were safe, and lots of fun.
**Sign up for Caverns by Jeep and Beach Combo in Cozumel. (AWESOME EXPERIENCE – There is nothing in the world like swimming in a cool, refreshing, Mayan cave!)
Value for money: worth every penny! What priceless memories we have; with photos to prove it.
Only a couple of small complaints:
-Alcohol is not included: takes a toll on your wallet after a while if you’re not careful.
-Line ups getting on the ship & getting off… pretty long waits. (1-2 hours). (But they’re worth it).
-Outdoor pools on-board: small. BUT: if you do beach excursions, you get lots of ocean swimming!
OVERALL: FANTASTIC SHIP, FANTASTIC VACATION! Would NOT have chosen anything else for our honeymoon.
Put it this way: You’re on a floating resort. You wake up every morning to a new tropical place to explore and enjoy… but your hotel never changes. If you want adventure, relaxation, exploration, and total down-time all mixed together.. A CRUISE IS FOR YOU!
Getting off the ship my husband and I said ‘we just don’t know how we’re ever going to be able to do anything but a Carnival Cruise, it was so fantastic!’
The staff on the ship were outstanding and extremely helpful. The rooms and ship were clean and comfortable.The food was very good.
