What can I say? I was simply amazed with how much fun cruising was. I've always loved the water but never been on a formal cruise where EVERY member of the staff caters to your every need. The environment aboard the Carnival Legend was such a blast. I highly recommend paying for the Fountain Fun Card if you plan on drinking lots of soda. If you are drinking the mixed drinks available on board, order the signature drinks and take your receipt down to the casino for a $5 match play, but don't forget to tip the dealers! Don't hesitate to use the complimentary room service each morning, but don't forget to give the person delivering a $1 or $2. As you can tell, tipping is very important to me, and despite the fact that you are automatically charged a gratuity for your stateroom, that doesn't go the casino staff. Your drinks purchased while on board are automatically charged a gratuity however. I recommend the shows each night, they're amazing! Don't hesitate to enter a raffle or giveaway, you never know what could happen, as my girlfriend was the FIRST recipient of a raffle prize on board the ship. Don't forget to hit up the 24 hour pizza before you go to bed, either! Dinner in the dining room is absolutely amazing, though...plan on eating 6 times a day!!!
