I have never cruised before so I really didn't know what to expect on my first cruise onboard Carnival Legend. Not sure why we chose Carnival Legend, we didn't really do any research. We just knew what date we want and what destination we preferred.
Embarkation: There was a long line when we arrived. It was kinda chaotic but people seemed to be excited, myself included, so the long line and the ...
We traveled on the Carnival Legend April 9 - 13. This was a special 4-day cruise that the Legend wasn't use to because it would travel to Tampa after our debarkation to start a new itinerary.
We arrived at the port about 3pm they day of sailing. We were on the Lido deck eating lunch by 3:25. We had two rooms, myself and husband and kids had the other. My son had brought along his friend so he ...
My husband and I had celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and had finally decided after speaking with other people about cruises, that we would book one. The ease and helpfulness of our agent made it painless. As we are wintering in South Carolina we decided to drive to Ft. Lauderdale to meet the Carnival Legend the day before we were to sail. We stayed at a Comfort Inn just off the #95 and ...
My wife and I sailed the Carnival Legend on the Exotic Southern Caribbean itinerary (St. Maarten/Martin, St. Lucia and St. Kitts) from February 12 - 20, 2007 out of Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale), FL. The itinerary really interested us as we had never been to any of these islands. It was my fifth cruise overall and my wife's fourth. We have only sailed on Carnival - we find it is hard to beat ...
This is the 3rd cruise my wife and I have taken together, all on Carnival. What can I say? We like to have fun.
Before The Cruise
We booked the Amerisuites by the port for the night before sailing. You never know what's going to happen with airlines these days, but Delta was fine, and we arrived slightly ahead of schedule. Once in FLL and bags retrieved, I went to the phone bank and dialed the ...
Background Information This was by 6th cruise (3rd Carnival, last one was in 1995). This was also the first time I had been involved in Cruise Critic Roll Calls first (what a great addition) and the first time I travelled with only a friend (no family this time).
I loved the itinerary of this ship - 2 days at sea, Panama, Costa Rica, day at sea, Belize, day at sea. I happen to be a big fan of ...
This was our first cruise but it won't be our last. My wife and I drove from Ontario Canada with another couple to Fort Lauderdale, stopping at Daytona to catch a Nascar race. Only one of the four of us had ever been on a cruise before. We got into Fort Lauderdale on Sunday afternoon, got to our hotel, then set off to find the pier so we would know where to go the next day. Getting to the pier was ...
Background info: DH - (49) myself (47) traveling by ourselves no kids this time. We flew out from Raleigh NC on Delta direct to Ft. Lauderdale. Flight was no problem, we arrived in Ft. Lauderdale approx. 11am and went directly to hotel from airport and were able to check in right away. We stayed at Ft. Lauderdale Grande and Yacht Club which we got by bidding on Priceline. Our room was clean and ...

We arrived in Fort Lauderdale the day before sailing. We were staying at the comfort suites airport/cruiseport. In the baggage area at the airport there is a bank of phones. Make sure you call the right comfort suites because there is one on SR 84 which is ...
This was my third cruise on Carnival. I have cruised several other lines and after much internal turmoil and debate, finally decided to try Carnival for the first time in 2002 on an Alaskan cruise which turned out to be a great experience. It was not until 2006 that I "braved" the threat of a raucous crowd on a Bahamas cruise on Carnival. Again, I enjoyed this cruise very much and was pleasantly ...
