This was our first cruise but it won't be our last. My wife and I drove from Ontario Canada with another couple to Fort Lauderdale, stopping at Daytona to catch a Nascar race. Only one of the four of us had ever been on a cruise before. We got into Fort Lauderdale on Sunday afternoon, got to our hotel, then set off to find the pier so we would know where to go the next day. Getting to the pier was ...

We arrived in Fort Lauderdale the day before sailing. We were staying at the comfort suites airport/cruiseport. In the baggage area at the airport there is a bank of phones. Make sure you call the right comfort suites because there is one on SR 84 which is ...
This was my third cruise on Carnival. I have cruised several other lines and after much internal turmoil and debate, finally decided to try Carnival for the first time in 2002 on an Alaskan cruise which turned out to be a great experience. It was not until 2006 that I "braved" the threat of a raucous crowd on a Bahamas cruise on Carnival. Again, I enjoyed this cruise very much and was pleasantly ...
This was our ninth cruise, the last eight with Carnival, and our first in almost two years. My wife had cancer surgery about a year and a half ago and I'm still undergoing treatment for my cancer too. We were really looking forward to this as we both love cruising.
Embarkation - The best yet. We arrived about an hour or so before the recommended time and were on the ship in twenty minutes. Very ...
This is the 3rd cruise my wife and I have taken together, all on Carnival. What can I say? We like to have fun.
Before The Cruise
We booked the Amerisuites by the port for the night before sailing. You never know what's going to happen with airlines these days, but Delta was fine, and we arrived slightly ahead of schedule. Once in FLL and bags retrieved, I went to the phone bank and dialed the ...
My wife and I sailed the Carnival Legend on the Exotic Southern Caribbean itinerary (St. Maarten/Martin, St. Lucia and St. Kitts) from February 12 - 20, 2007 out of Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale), FL. The itinerary really interested us as we had never been to any of these islands. It was my fifth cruise overall and my wife's fourth. We have only sailed on Carnival - we find it is hard to beat ...
This was my third cruise, and second time on Carnival. My husband and I coordinated this cruise for ourselves and twelve other friends and relatives.
We flew down the day before from Toronto. I highly recommend this, as our flight times were constantly changed, and had we been flying out the same day, we wouldn't have made the ship. Also, it made going to the ship really relaxing -- you weren't ...
This was our third cruise on the Legend and have always loved this ship. As this was the first time the new itinerary was being offered, we were excited at the thought of two new ports that neither my husband nor I had ever been to before. We had a very active roll call, and what a pleasure it was making such wonderful new friends! It was like traveling with old friends, as we had really gotten to ...
I went on this cruise with my Mom for New Years 2006/2007. We booked through our own TA with an 8C GTY and were upgraded to 8F. This was my 7th cruise (3rd with Carnival) and my Mom's 6th cruise (also 3rd with Carnival).
We flew in to Ft. Lauderdale on Air Canada (from Toronto with a connecting flight in Montreal) the day before embarkation and stayed at AmeriSuites 17th Street. It is a really ...
This was our 10th cruise and the 4th with Carnival. We live in southern Georgia so we drove south the day before departure and stayed overnight at Fort Pierce about an hour and a half away from Fort Lauderdale. This was an 8 day cruise from 12/18/06 to 12/26/06. Embarkation was the easiest we have ever had at Fort Lauderdale. We managed to park in the parking garage right beside the Legend. We ...
