This was our eighth cruise with Carnival and probably the most enjoyable! We had sailed mostly on larger ships and were really surprised to really love the layout of the Carnival Legend! We had an extended balcony and it was really extended - probably six feet wide and close to 25 feet long! For anyone who is interested, it was 7258.
The port in Tampa was set-up well, we left our hotel which was close to the port at 10:20 and were on the Lido deck having lunch by 11:30!
Food was exceptional all week - both in the master dining room for dinner and most breakfasts and on the Lido for lunch most days. We did try the Lido for breakfast one morning and didn't much care for it!
Huge balcony! Very quiet. Centrally located to the back of the ship so easy access to the lido dining area and the Truffles dining room. A little further to go to the casino and theater.
