We took this cruise out of Baltimore b/c we live in Delaware. It was a 1 hour drive and we were picked up and dropped off very easily. It's super easy to find the cruise terminal so that's a plus. Embarkation was a breeze, probably the best I've ever been on, and I have cruised a lot. The ships layout was pretty easy to follow. I will say as others have mentioned, some of the décor is a little ...
First off, let me say that the staff was wonderful, all of them. The infirmary was staffed with wonderfully caring folks (I had an adverse medication reaction that had NOTHING to do with Carnival; NOT their fault at all). All other faults I mention here are purely at management level & above.
The ship itself is an eyesore. Period.
Dining is adequate & nothing more.
Embarkation was okay, ...
We had a large group of 30 people taking part in this holiday cruise. First time sailing out of Baltimore, we found the cruise port/terminal to be very well run, organized and clean. The Embarkation process was seamless and took no more than 20 mins including security.
Once on board, our rooms were ready right away, we were able to set down our carry on luggage and make our way to the lunch ...
We chose this cruise because we have cruised 6 times with Carnival and have always had a wonderful time. They called to offer us some special deals on upcoming cruises and we said “Why not do something different for Thanksgiving this year?” and we went for it.
We always cruise out of Baltimore or NYC because we live in CT and we prefer to drive as opposed to flying. No cruises out of NYC this ...
This was a Thanksgiving cruise and we had a balcony on the 6th floor. I have been on the Pride and Legend at least 2 or 3 times before this cruise. Maybe part of why I was so disappointed was because of all the things they took away. One thing I always took advantage of was a free in room limited -menu breakfast. We like to stay up late and sleep late when cruising and having your coffee and a ...
we choose the Legnd because we live in Delaware and the drive was easy...and it was. Had a 1:30 boarding time and had priority boarding as we were booked in a suite. Drove up at 12:00 and waited on line ....by 1:20 we left our car to board and we were on the ship by 2:00. Got a burger at guys and it was dry and not impressive. Decks began getting crowded as we explored the ship. Was on the ...
Carnival is trying to save money by using less staff and other techniques. No one item is major in itself. When all negative items are combined, it makes for a poor vacation experience.
1. All hot tubs were lukewarm and no bubble aeration
2. Some entrees in MDR were so small (like grilled shrimp), you need to double order. Side dishes were teaspoon sized vegetables. No cocktail person ...
We went on an anniversary cruise for our 18th wedding anniversary. My bride's luggage was promptly lost on the ship. After five days of battling with staff it was placed in our cabin, The staff fought me with tooth and nail because it could not have been Carnivals fault. The cabin was over air conditioned and had to be adjusted by staff six different times. Food on the ship is not up to the ...
We were on the Legend for the October 23rd cruise to the Bahamas. We are by no means seasoned cruises. We are in our mid 50's and have cruised about 6 times overall. We traveled with my parents who are very seasoned cruisers and frequent cruises out of Baltimore due to the location of the port. Before I go into detail I will say we had a very nice time and did not have any major issues. ...
We booked the Legend for its embarkation port (Baltimore is 1.5 hours from us), itinerary (just Bermuda - a place we've been before and LOVED), and size of ship as it was our 2-year-old's first cruise (and our first cruise as parents). I read a ton of reviews, looked at a ton of pictures, and watched a million videos - so I knew exactly what to expect from the ship.
Embarkation was a breeze. ...
