This is really a nice ship even though it's not new and doesn't look like it's getting upgraded to Funship 2.0 anytime soon if at all. I have sailed on the Carnival Freedom and missed a few amenities which that ship had - the outdoor movie screen, larger Serenity area and a more varied buffet....but let's dig into the Legend.

Since I live near Tampa, getting dropped off at the small terminal is a breeze and we got through the embarkation process in about 20 minutes. All the Carnival people were always polite and helpful as was our last experience.

Once onboard, we were told our cabin was ready (at noon) and we went to deck 4 to find our cabin and unpack. We had booked an obstructed view "inside" cabin which is really an outside with french doors that overlook a life boat (railing directly outside the doors). This room layout felt so much larger than a standard inside room because the bed is turned a different direction. There was also a small sofa and an additional cabinet for storage. These are priced as interior cabins, but feel bigger. Being able to see the weather and open the door is nice even if just to figure out what to wear for the day. These rooms are not available on every ship so grab one if you can.

Cabin Review

Our cabin was great! room 4108 is a "obstructed view" inside which is really an outside cabin with french doors which open to a railing and a big, fat, lifeboat. These rooms have a different layout than a standard interior room and have a small sofa and an extra storage cabinet. They sell these as interiors but feel so much bigger with the different layout and doors to daylight. There are blackout curtains on the doors so if you want darkness, you can have it. Grab one if you can - you will love it!
