We are from Southeast Tn and drove to Tampa the day before, staying at the Holiday Inn Rocky Point. Loved the convenience of parking there and being shuttled to and from the port. The price of our room was cheaper than parking at the port. We were on the 11am shuttle and were on the ship by 12pm. Very easy and quick. This was our second time on the Legend so we wanted to see what was new, went to the Serenity Deck and didn't leave it. Loved this added space. Spent time here everyday but one. The towel police were very good about picking up any saved chairs after 30 min. But I am an early riser and would go out and take sunrise pictures and read my book ever morning.Our cabin was ready at 1:30. We had a aft balcony cabin and this was the first time for this. Very nice but a little on the warm side because not much wind. But awesome views so it was worth it.We did anytime dining and will go back to late dining next time. We missed the personal interaction with the servers. Food was very good and we ate dinner one night at the Lido buffet and they had the same thing on the buffet that they were serving in the dining room. Breakfast was room service most mornings and then a late breakfast again on the Lido. On the sea days we ate in the Dining room for lunch and this was a treat because of our table mates. Another thing I missed about set dining time. I love meeting new people.We didn't do any of the shows this trip because we got up so early and didn't take naps so by 9 or 10 we were tired. We made ourselves stay up and out one night to see the comedy shows and they were great. Wish we had went to more of them, but with 4 ports we were wore out at night.The ports were great with Roatan being my favorite. Get away from the port area and see the real Roatan. Took a private tour of the island and fell in love.I would recommend taking a ship tour in Belize, not for the safety as I felt very safe we grabbed a local and had him walk with us and show us to the water taxi and went to Caulker Caye. Gorgeous little island off the mainland. But by taking a ship tour you get to tender first and less time waiting and not that much more expensive.Never had a long line anywhere on the ship, but I don't think the ship was sold out. Disembarking was easy, set our luggage out the night before and went to eat breakfast on the Lido about 8am. Our Zone was 11 and we were off the ship by 9. We called the Hotel and they sent the shuttle over and we were in our car and on the road to Tennessee by 10.30.We actually forgot a piece of our luggage at the terminal, and they had called us at 10.30am on our home phone to let us know. That is the number we gave them, so we had to call when we got home and have them mail our luggage to us. We didn't realize we had even left a piece. 45$ for those of you who are wondering to UPS it. We had a great time and would sail again on the Legend in a heartbeat, love the itinerary.
