Carnival Legend 12/28/08 - 1/4/09 Western Caribbean RT Tampa, FL

Background: Here is a little background about me and my experience cruising. This was my 30th cruise, and 18th on Carnival. I have also cruised with Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Princess, Celebrity, NCL, Majesty, and Premier. This was my first cruise over New Years, and I really enjoyed that part of the trip. We traveled with a group of 6 on this cruise: my parents, grandmother, great aunt, my sister and myself.

Overall, this was one of the better cruises I have taken. In my opinion, the 7-night and longer Carnival product is one of the best in the industry, and certainly on par, if not better with RCI, Princess, and HAL. My last cruise on HAL was a relative disappointment compared to this trip. Read more
