We sailed on the Legend about 2 years ago just before Carnival started having all of their troubles with breakdowns etc. We took our family and also went with 2 other families that were friends. We enjoyed it a lot at that time.

We went again on an 8 day cruise with 5 ports. The itinerary was the best part of the cruise. The ship was awful. It looked bad; the paint was chipped all over on the exterior and it looked dirty overall. The windows never got cleaned the entire time. Disorganized would describe a lot of things over the course of the cruise from the embarkation safety brief to the tender management. I do have to say that the interior common areas were nice and clean and I never ended up smelling the odd smells that sometimes lurk on ships.

Our stateroom was an extended balcony on the 7th deck. The room was plenty big enough for our family of 4. The beds were the worst I have ever experienced on a cruise. The air-conditioning had a problem and would not cool the room the first night so we threw the comforter off and just used the sheet. In the morning when we went to put the comforter back on, my wife started gagging after seeing dried boogers, hair and small blood like stains. When we had the room steward come in, she let us know that the family on the cruise before us had a small boy in the bed and that was why. She also let us know that they had changed the sheets but can't change the duvet cover every embarkation. That was nice to hear huh? Read more
