My wife and I just returned from our New Year's cruise aboard the Carnival Legend. This was our fifth time cruising with Carnival and we believe that a cruise is as good as we make it.

Port and Embarkation: Getting around Tampa and getting to the port is rather uncomplicated. With our party of six, we rented a van and enjoyed Tampa with two days of pre-cruise activities. I was able to transport everyone to the port at about 11 am and then returned the van to the airport. I purchased a one way transportation voucher at the airport and was back to the port by 11:50 am. Embarkation was quick and simple. We were all onboard by 12:45 pm.

Dining: As with some other reviews, I would echo that dining was not horribly spectacular. We found the food to be somewhat hit or miss, and unfortunately, it seemed to miss more than hit. The morning and lunch buffets were boring and unimaginative. Although food is readily available, our recommendation to Carnival is to offer less food and improve quality. We enjoyed the Golden Fleece Steak House on New Years Eve and must say that the service, food, and attention we received was fabulous. This is well worth the additional $30 charge per person.
