My family and I (husband, daughter 16; son 12) sailed out of NY on May 5th on the Legend. The embarkation went pretty smooth. We had to wait in line for security about 20 minutes, we were on the ship by 2:00 and having lunch.

The ship itself is in very good shape and clean, the decorations aren't overly gaudy and it was pretty easy to navigate. We had a category 11 suite which was fine for the 4 of us.
