Carnival Legend Review

Additional details
We had an incredible time. There were 7 of us in our group, ranging in age from 30 to 45, (5 women, 2 men). I think we were about average for age on this ship, although sometimes it felt as though there were far more elderly folks sailing with us, than younger (especially in the Serenity Lounge).
The food was your average cruise food with the exception of the Golden Fleece Steakhouse - INCREDIBLE. I recommend that everyone book this. For $35, you will get about a $150 meal and if you book the first night, you'll also get a free bottle of wine with your meal. I don't journal much, but after that meal, I just had to write it all down. When we thought we couldn't eat anymore and were going to pass on dessert, the people at the table next to us told us we had to try the chocolate sampler. Needless to say, we devoured it. The staff was very attentive, the food with delicious and the experience is well worth the extra money. I will note that this was my 3rd cruise and my fellow travelers were on their 1st, so when I told them that they could order more than one entree and more than one dessert for dinner...they were overjoyed! And our waiter, Aleksandar, made dining very entertaining - I've retold several of his jokes!
Between the 7 of us, we enjoyed excursions at every port, from swimming with the rays in Grand Cayman to swimming with the dolphins in Cozumel, to touring the Mayan ruins in Belize and zip lining in Roatan. We were hard pressed to name a favorite, each port held something special for each of us.
Cabin Review
We had 3 adult women in our room - we did not have a bunk bed, rather our couch was converted to a bed. It was a tight fit, but with the added space of the balcony, we made it work without any problems - and we're all still talking to each other!Some of the best things we did with our room: Used a luggage strap to keep our balcony door open at nightBrought a hanging air freshener (Scentsy) for our room (would suggest one for the bathroom, as well)Brought an over the door shoe organizer for all sorts of stuffBrought an over the door organizer for bathroom stuffSuitcases stored under the bedsClothespins (next time I am bringing a bungee cord to hang clothes on - there's a line in the shower...but you use the shower)The only noise we heard was from neighboring balconies...we could easily close the door if we wanted to. And we could hear something large being moved up in the Serenity Lounge every morning at about 4am. I woke to that every day, one of the 3 of us never heard it...so it's all relative.
