This was our third cruise on Legend and our second with the same itinerary so we knew what to expect. There's lots to do, great entertainment, excellent food. We tended to go to the restaurant each night to avoid the temptation of too much food being available on the Lido deck - great service and lots of variety at the restaurant changing every night. The Nouveau Restaurant was worth a visit - charge was $45 but good value. Shore excursions were available but we did our own thing - in Noumea we went into town and got a ticket for the Hop on Hop Off bus ($A12 as opposed to the $A20 being charged on the ship) and went straight to Citron Bay for swimming and a visit to the brewery. Buying a bus ticket was the only way to get to the beach at Mare (snorkeling disappointing as little to see). Snorkeling at Isle of Pines was excellent - we saw a sea snake and two large turtles which was unexpected.

Service was always excellent, staff friendly and helpful.

If you have children make sure you supervise them at the pools as there are no staff for that purpose and there are lots of children jumping around and seemingly unaware of other children.

Cabin 4K

Good cabin with same amount of room as normal cabin - plenty of cupboard space and lots of coathangers which was a plus. While it had a French window, it couldn't be opened as the mechanism for the lifeboat would have been reachable. There was a view between the lifeboats so at least we got plenty of light and a view of the ocean. Probably the quietest room we've had on any of our (7) Carnival cruises. Very close to the Follies Theatre.
