Just off Legend (here are the pics)

[Ilovesailaway]

Just off Legend 11/14 to 11/21. It was a unique cruise for a couple reasons. It was the first Legend cruise since the restart and its dry dock. It was also a cruise that was supposed to go to Bermuda but had a complete itinerary change to the Bahamas only a month before sailing.

It was awesome to be back on board a ship. The staff were in great spirits and many commented on how happy they were to have passengers back. Only a couple of small hiccups along the way. First was I had to keep going back to have my card scanned at the muster station because in the system it was showing that I hadn't been, ultimately a manager at guest services had to override it. Second was an issue at sea day brunch where our table had very slow and incomplete service. I felt like we slipped through the cracks. We waited an hour for cold eggs and never got our toast. Every other interaction with the staff was awesome.

I will share these pics so everyone can see the updates to the ship. Also some pics of the construction in Nassau. I know many are going there in the coming months and might be interested in the construction progress.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer.

Thanks for all the pictures!!  We leave in two weeks.  We've sailed the Miracle before so it's interesting to see how dark these ships are compared to new ships.

Great pics! They’re everything I’ve been waiting for! I’m sailing in February and have been waiting for the first cruises to start so i could see recent pics! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for posting, I normally take a lot of pictures myself but didn't get the chance to this time (maybe because I knew I'd be sailing again in February). It was great to meet you and your boys!

Thanks for the pics.  

 

What type of cabin did you have?  Was it an extended balcony cabin?

[KmomChicago]

Thanks for posting! What are the snacks or apps served in the Red Frog Pub?

No food menu in the Red Frog Pub on Legend. You could order food on the Carnival App to be delivered anywhere on the ship. $5 room service fee applies. I did that once to have a pizza delivered to the sports bar.

Yeah, I really don't miss the Farcus interiors on the older ships.  Like being in a dungeon!  Or on some bad drugs.

Did the red frog pub have the happy hour on embark day?  

What was the earliest check in for your cruise?

Did you hear approx how many passengers on your cruise?

We sail in a aft extended balcony in 2 weeks on the Legend.  Our first cruise was on this ship out of Tampa over 10 years ago.  Our favorite class ship on Carnival.

 

Great pictures!  Thanks

I don’t recall seeing the happy hour in Red Frog when we boarded. I purchased my cheers package in there so I wasn’t really looking for what was on special.

I am gold and the earliest boarding time available to all non diamond or platinum was I believe 1200 to 1230. I picked 1 because I was driving and wanted to give myself a little more time. Well I made great time and arrived at the port at 1215, they let me right in. It should be noted though that we were the first cruise so we didn’t need to wait for ppl coming off. We were delayed a few hours getting back so I know the cruise after ours was delayed boarding.

I don’t have the official number of passengers but I heard from other cruisers that we were at about 60%. The ship was not crowded at all.

Thanks so much for the photos! I'll be on her in January. Any comment on the food? What are the food options other than buffet, pizza, deli, cantina, Guys burgers, MDR?

[IntrepidFromDC]

Thanks for all the great pics!  We board 11/28 and your pics stoked the fires of excitement and anticipation!

Leaving this Sunday! What was the weather like??

[lostfancruiser]

I know that the fun times and dinner menu are available on the Carnival HUB app

but can you get a copy at the service desk? Also, are they posting the dinner menus outside the dining room as they normally did? Great pics, we will be onboard Dec. 5. Although the interior is darker then most, I do like the layout. Also since going on Allure of the Seas 2 yrs ago, it's nice to be able to access more outdoor space.

We tried the steakhouse for the first time this trip and wondered why we waited so long to try it. We found all of the food on the ship to be tasty and nicely done with few exceptions (the breakfast sandwiches available for a surcharge on the room service menu were a disappointment and the burgers at Princess Cay were underdone). I tried a burrito from Blue Iguana for the first time and will make sure not to miss that on subsequent sailings.

It was partly cloudy most of the time and it rained for a little bit on Princess Cay. The weather didn't get warm on deck until well into the second day.

The menus for everything are available via QR code in each venue and the MDR menu is available on the HUB app. I didn't notice any menus posted outside of the dining room but I wasn't really looking for them.

In the 50's and clear the first and last day, I had no problem wearing shorts and a hoodie on the lido. Bahamas were high 70's. The seas were a little choppy and we had a light shower at times. It was a fun ride lol.

This was my go to for breakfast and lunch. Its very tasty and a bit healthier than a lot of other choices. I am happy to say that I didn't eat in the buffet all week.

Curios as to the occupancy, how full was the ship?

I thought the food in the MDR was really good. A lot of people love Guys Burgers but I think they are average. My go to is Blue Iguana for a breakfast burrito and the Deli or Blue Iguana for lunch. I would often grab my lunch and go sit by the pool,  Serenity, or my balcony.
