Sail Date: Mar 2005

Ship was extremely modern, stylish and clean. Room was spacious with a lot of storage room and a very nice balcony with 2 chairs and a small table. Bathroom was modern and had a great shower.

Most secondary dining areas were large with comfortable seating including booths. The food in these areas was very good with a nice mix of offerings-from Asian to Italian or traditional American fare. Desserts were exceptional.

When the ship was not in a port, these areas became very crowded and while there was plenty to go around- it was somewhat difficult to move around. The dinner in the Main dining room (Truffles)was OK but I do not believe up to the standards of either Norwegian or Celebrity as far as quality, portions or even serving temperature. Also there was a sense of being rushed at dinner which I have never experienced in 5 previous cruises. It almost seemed like the 2400 passengers may have been too many for the staff to handle. While the servers were great, they also seemed under pressure to move the people quickly through the meal. Portions were generally small and almost seemed to have been prepared and heated up in some cases. Previous cruises served meals that appeared to be individually prepared and were always generous and hot. The Legend meals leaned more towards a cafeteria style presentation.
