New York (Manhattan) to the Caribbean Carnival Legend Cruise Reviews

Prior to this cruise, my last experience on Carnival (Paradise) was horrendous. Never the less we gave them another chance and we found the Legend to be a very clean ship with a great crew. I was impressed with the level of hospitality exuded by mostly all of the crew. Seeing people deep cleaning different areas (at the less busier times) was nice. The upkeep pays off for them because the ship is ...

We (myself, husband and 2 yr. old) sailed on Carnival Legend from New York, we didn't have to fly, so that was in itself awesome. With a 2 yr. old flying can be interesting. We booked a suite, on the 6th floor, it was near the back of the ship, so we had a huge balcony (50% bigger) than most suites. It was enclosed with glass, so no worries about me jumping over board. We requested a crib, but it ...

My second cruise with Carnival, my spouse and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary. EMBARKATION: For NY not bad, on the ship in less than 1 hour. Having lunch and drinks by 2 pm. THE SHIP: Clean, beautiful, but the urns are a little over the top. Very easy to find your way around, which is what we did after lunch. Had everything down pat in less than 1 hour. Cabin decent size. We had an ...

Overall this was a good cruise. The food was good on the Lido deck and excellent in the dining room. Our wait staff was amazing. I mentioned I had never tried caviar before and they brought me a huge cupful of it. I didn't try the supper club. I would have liked more day to day variety on the breakfast buffets. I didn't get to try the dining room breakfasts. Room service was good, but a little ...

This was my first cruise ever. Overall, I was very happy with the staff. I did get sea sick. Wish there was a way to make cruises less shaky in terms of the movement of the boat while it is cruising. I often felt dizzy. A guest on the cruise suggested Benadryl. I thought it was for allergies, but surprisingly it worked well. Embarkation: Very smooth. Long lines are expected when you have many ...

I guess my wife and I could be considered seasoned cruisers, this was our 17th cruise. I do not like to give negative reviews on any cruise that we have been on; I feel any cruise is as good as you make it. This cruise, however, is one that I think other cruisers should be warned about. We sailed out of New York on 9/9/2006 on the Carnival Legend for an 8-day Eastern Caribbean cruise. We are ...

Background Information This is my fifth time cruising, fourth with Carnival. I live in the NY area and decided to make it easy this time and avoid flying to Miami. Taking the Legend was a no brainer then. Ship Info The ship is well kept. The dEcor is typical Carnival, love it or hate it  I personally love it. I liked the ability to surf the Internet from my cabin, not sure if the service was ...

This was my third Carnival Cruise since 2003. I was traveling with my husband (a newbie)who relunctly agreed to go on the cruise (and had swore he'd never), and another couple, my best friend (also her third cruise) and her husband (another newbie). We did the 8 day cruise from NY to San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola. We drove that morning from MA to NY and along the way ran into major traffic ...

Wow! What an awesome vacation! First of all, we got a balcony stateroom at an inside stateroom price. Secondly, we got a $100 on board ship credit for booking directly through Carnival. Thirdly, we went out of NYC, which is two hours away from where we live in Connecticut. Finally, we got to cruise with our friends, Pete & his fiancee, Jeri. However, we did run into a couple of problems. The first ...

The first problem happened when Carnival called my house & left a message. They were going to be late getting into port, so we didn't have to arrive to the pier as early as we'd planned. That was Friday, two days before we were supposed to leave. On Sunday, the bus we took from Connecticut took three hours to get into NYC. We then had to wait for a taxi at the Port Authority, & ended up getting a ...
