Seabourn Legend Review
A FUN MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE ON SEABOURN LEGEND
Rating by category
Additional details
We sailed on a Rome-to-Rome cruise in late October, that was really a fun trip. It gave us a nice taste of Italy, with Malta thrown in to boot!
Though on of the original Seabourn ships, the Legend looked like it had been spruced up recently with exterior/interior painting, furniture updates, etc.
Our cabin (128), was spacious and nicely appointed. The only thing lacking were multiple U.S.-style plugs for our electronic gear. It would be a good idea to bring along a small power strip, or multiple 2-prong adapters.
Cabin Review
Suite
Our cabin (128) was on deck 3, that was one floor up from the eating venues, and had easy access to other areas of the ship. Since the cabin was mid-ship, it was very stable when cruising. It also was quiet.
We did not spend the extra money on one of the cabins with the "Juliet" verandas that you could not even sit on. I guess the only advantage of one of those rooms is being able to open the patio doors for some fresh air.
The line also needs to ban smoking in all cabins. The set up they have for smoking on the deck is OK, but you still have people complaining about it. Sooner or later I think Seabourn will have to give in and go totally non-smoking.
The bed was comfortable, and I liked the curtain that could be drawn to separate the sleeping area from the sitting area.
The bathroom was very nice, but not big enough for 2 people to be in it at the same time. Only one sink.
There was plenty of storage space and hangers in the walk in closet, and the other drawers and cabinets in the cabin. The robes, slippers and safe were a nice touch.
As mentioned in the review be aware of the lack of U.S. outlets and prepare accordingly.
The TV and Bose system could use an upgrade.
Although our toilet did not back up, the plumbing appears to be an on-going problem on this ship.
