My husband and I went on this cruise to Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, and Grand Cayman the week before Christmas. We are both 25 years old. It was our 9th cruise, 6th with Carnival, 1st on the Legend.

We live in Orlando so we drove over the morning of embarkation. The cruise before us was delayed due to fog and did not arrive until 11:00 A.M. Carnival emailed me and called me to let me know not to come to port until later. They also gave use a $15 per person credit for lunch that day. We go to the port around 2:30 and the line was LONG! I overheard one of the police officers who was directing people say that the line was nearly a mile long. We had purchased Faster to the Fun and were on the ship within 15 minutes. Later, someone in the elevator told us that they had been waiting in line since 9 A.M. and didn’t get on the ship until after 4 P.M. We went straight to our cabin when we boarded the ship to drop off our carry on bag and then went to explore. There weren’t many people on the ship yet so we grabbed some lunch and went to check out the Serenity area. I LOVED THE SERENITY AREA! We were on the Freedom last year and the Legend’s Serenity area is so much nicer and it has its own pool and hot tubs!

We had booked reservations way in advance for the steakhouse the first night but I don’t really think we would have needed to. There were only 4 other tables seated while we were there. The food was amazing and the free bottle of wine was a nice perk. However, every other night at dinner my husband would comment that his entrée didn’t compare to the steak at the steakhouse! Read more
