Legend Cruise Review 5/27/12 to 6/3/12

The night before the cruise we stayed at the Chase Suites at Rocky Point. The hotel itself was nice, but if you arrive late there is NO parking, the lady who checked us in told us if we could not find a parking space "just go ahead and park in handicapped parking". Clearly she did not know we have a handicap decal. That really was offensive. I did end up in a handicap space-2 blocks from our room. If your going to offer park and cruise packages, please have adequate space. Sunday, our shuttle was scheduled for 11:30. I ran to pick up some last minute things and while I was gone they called the room and told my daughter the shuttle was running early to be at the front at 11:15. We really raced to get down there only to be told they were already full and to come back at 12:30. The front desk person was very apologetic, even though it wasn't that big of a deal. We just went back to the room, when we arrived back at the shuttle (25 minutes early) it was already there and the driver acted upset that we were "late" it was 12:05. Honestly it was irritating, (mainly because the driver was really rude) but we are pretty easy going so we just wrote it off as cruise day confusion on their part. Not sure if I would stay there again, just based on the awful parking.

Port of Tampa- This is a great port, I was really worried because it really is dead downtown in Tampa. I was so pleased, talk about highly organized and easy to navigate and you must be talking about the port of Tampa. I would not hesitate to cruise out of here again. When we arrived the line was about 15 feet out of the door, from that point until we arrived on the ship was under 30 minutes. CPB was wonderful. We were traveling with TPN (It's in large IV bags, 7 of them, one for each night, plus syringes, pump and other assorted goodies) We are used to a hell of a hard time when traveling. CPB in JAX wanted to take the pump apart with a screwdriver once.... anyhoo Tampa was very sensitive and knowledgeable and made the process very easy. They get a big gold star. Read more
