Legend of the Seas Review

Additional details
Whilst we enjoyed the cruise - new places - new people and warm (too hot) lol weather, many aspects were disappointing. I would suggest mainly due to bad management.
This was our first cruise with RCI and from what non whingers had suggested previously had high hopes.
Day 1 - missed out on lunch as we were advised that we would not be boarded until 5pm so rather than sit for an anticipated 3 hours in the terminal changed our transfer. from 1.30 to 3pm. When we got there the terminal was all but deserted as everyone who ignored the timings were just boarded when they got there!!
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
Cabin was fine and was as expected. Shower area a bit small but ok for us slim folk. Near but not too near stairs/lifts Cabin attendant very good greeted us by name whenever we saw him.
Port Reviews
Hong Kong
Useless on this trip due to adverse weather for the 3 days we were there. We have been before and found it to interesting with good shopping and sightseeing
Manila
We went on a ship excursion and whilst expensive got around any problems of walking through dodgy areas between port and old city. As well as traffic problems.
Our guide spoke good English and was informative and at the same time entertaining
Bali
We had been to Bali before - Benoa is a tender port and we just went ashore there was nothing in the port area except a few stalls selling momentoes. Tried the wifi then retuned to the ship
Darwin
Easy city to get around - port area has new walkways (shaded) and lifts to get to the start of the city.. We walked right through to the botanical gardens in about 1 hour and came back down the esplanade to view some of the historic buildings. Had it been too hot or too wet there are frequent local busses as well as a hopon/off.
There is a lagoon and a bit of a sandy area that can be used for sunbathing/swimming for free and is safe from crocs and stingers.
