This was our 18th cruise, and 6th time on Carnival and 2nd time on the Legend. We stayed at the Intercontinental Tampa on a very reasonable cruise/park/stay package and all went perfectly. Comfortable hotel, great location, easy to use shuttle system through Blue One, and trouble free parking.

The Good ( actually Great). I love the size of this ship, with only about 2100 passengers it doesn't feel too crowded. The serenity deck is very relaxing with comfortable loungers and hammocks for adults only. The spa is really nice with free use of the hot tub, the steam room, and sauna. The staff are all (for the most part) really nice, our room stewards and dining staff were very professional and did a great job! The food was very good. The lobster, seafood, Italian dishes were all amazing. Now the buffet doesn't have a large selection of choices, but there was always something that was really delicious. For example a seafood pasta with lots of delicious seafood in it, the fish was always tasty, fettuccine with a porcini type of sauce, and crab cakes full of real crab which was astonishing because they were on the all you can eat buffet and they were really good. I was definitely happily surprised! Our location of our cabin 7327 was really nice since it was very quiet, located in the aft part of the ship near coffee in the am, and near the Serenity Deck where we hung out most of the time.

As for the Entertainment: the comedians were all hilarious! Scotty K was my favorite only because of his quick wit, and he was just outrageous! Read more
