Let me begin by saying that our cruise holiday was very enjoyable from start to finish. After reading about the nightmare of embarkation and debarkation, I was expecting long waits and impatient passengers. We experienced none of these "waits" nor were we witness of any impatient passengers. Embarkation out of New York with Carnival was actually organized and fast. We were on the ship and heading for lunch in the Unicorn Cafe within 1.5 hrs!

The suites on the Carnival Legend are spacious compared with older RCCL ships. And I was pleasantly delighted with the basket of goodies that Carnival provided to us located in our washroom area. You know things that we (or I) had forgotten such as a razor, some hair gel and the nice St. Ives cream I used for the eventual and nasty sunburn I acquired.

The food was very good on the ship. I would not say that I am fine dining expert, but being from Montreal, I have experienced a lot of exceptional cuisine and Carnival does it's utmost to please in this area. The food in the Cafe was hot and well prepared and the food in the dining room was very good as well. Read more
