Legend of the Seas review with pics

[Clarea]

... The power outlets are US fittings. You will need a US or universal power adapter for your plug in devices....

In addition to the US outlets, we had one Euro outlet in our stateroom.

Greetings,

I was not sure what a power board is? We bring a small fan and a short extension cord.

Would that be OK?

Thanks,

Roy

Hello Diane and Roy,

 

Mattress - We had the usual two single beds pushed together with a topper of some sort.

 

We both found them to be very comfortable.

 

There were nine people in our group and everyone agreed that each of us had a comfortable bed.

 

I usually take a small travel pillow, however the pillows were okay. We seemed to have one firm and one soft pillow each.

 

A powerboard is the thing you buy from a hardware. It has a cord with a plug at one end and an array of sockets at the other, thereby allowing for an extra four electrical items to be plugged into the power source; similar to a double adapter but for four plugs instead of two.

 

Yes a small fan should be fine as long as you have a device that can match it to the US or European socket. As mentioned in a previous post, there was also a European power socket.

 

T's brother brought a fan also, but no extension cord. I doubt it would be a problem but perhaps keep the cord in your carry on luggage, because if security have to go through your suitcase you may have to rock up to deck 1 to claim your suitcase back.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Jen

Fantastic review...:)

 

We are leaving on the 25th Jan around NZ and you have given me some great advice. Well informed with lots of tips and recommendations.

 

Thanks

Goody :)

 

Please, do a review of your trip as well when you get back. I'm doing this itinerary next January, and am very curious and looking for all the info on the Legend that I can get.

 

TIA,

Hi Tia,

 

I know what it's like. We too were scouring the net for useful information and images.

 

Half the fun is in the anticipation.

 

I did put up a few images with this review but they only appear quite small using the regular upload feature so I shall put some bigger ones up and link to them for you.

 

That way you'll have the latest images of the ship as it is now. :)

 

Back soon.

 

Best regards,

 

J

As promised here are some bigger images to give you a better idea of what you're looking forward to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope these all work for you.

 

Best regards,

The pixels on the pool screen have been out for a while. I noticed it in Dec 2014

[J_T_]

Wow, December 2014! You'd think they might have fixed it by now. Fortunately the dodgy pixels are around the edge so not so bad.

 

Here are some more pics. Enjoy :p

Not quite sure I would classify her as one of RCCL's "better" ships by any means, but I'm sure glad you all seem to be enjoying her over there down under!

All charges on board are in USD, but you don't need cash except in the casino. If you use a credit card to secure your onboard account, then the credit card company or Royal (your choice) will do the currency conversion.

Is there anything we should know about boarding from Brisbane?

Hope you enjoyed your trip to NZ!

 

Daughter is a singer on Legend and took this pic leaving Milford Sound

 

 

She's been on Legend since September and is on her last cruise to New Caledonia/Vanuatu currently, before coming home for the first time since early August (spent 6 weeks in Miami training/rehearsing before flying to Singapore to board ship).

Hi Tazaria,

 

• Boarding pointers
  
• Here are a few pointers - you CAN take two bottles of wine on board with you.
  
• You are not permitted to take power boards or double adaptors but do remember to take adaptors for US or EU outlets for your camera/phone chargers.
  
• Apart from that it was a very easy and simple procedure to board.
  

 

Enjoy your trip!
