returned on july 8th from an 8 day cruise aboard the carnival legend. left new york and cruised to san juan, puerto rico, st. thomas & tortola island.
boarding went well, with no real problems or delays, to speak of. carnival has a nice set up in new york, getting you on to the ship. once on, went straight to maitre'd to correct dining arrangements, that the travel agent said she would do, but didn't. with that done, found our cabin, a 6th floor cabin with balcony. in my opinion, the only way to cruise. dropped off our carry-ons and went about exploring our "home away from home" for the next 8 days. wow - is all i could say. the legend is simply a beautiful ship. having sailed on the carnival victory a couple of years ago, i was expecting similarities and, all i could say is, they took the victory and made it even more magnificent.
we left new york around 5pm and, from our balcony, viewed the new york skyline and verrazano bridge as we sailed away. new york is our hometown and this view is always something we look forward to seeing.
