After reading many mixed reviews of the Carnival Legend, plus doing extensive research on cruising on several websites, I was fully prepared for my first cruise. I will detail my experiences below:
Embarkation: Easy, easy, easy! We got through Security and check-in with no problems or delays. After wiping down my cabin with sanitizer wipes, I went to the Lido deck and enjoyed the buffet with my friends. No major lines for lunch.
Late Dining: Great option for my group. The down-side was, we were too tired for late-night partying after dinner. Jeffery, JJ, and Areul were AWESOME servers! Idi, our bartender from the lobby lounge and at dinner, was WONDERFUL!!!
Cabin 5201 was perfect for this first-time cruiser! Located on the starboard side, the best views were available. Being mid-ship and lower deck, I never got sea-sick (with the help of Meclazine).
