gonnacruise Posted May 20, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2006 We sailed on the Legend on May 4 - 12. We had a great time!!! We loved our balcony cabin (8152) The staff were very nice. Even the few times we saw the Captain I was impressed, He was very personable!!! The food was great...buffets, dining room...great. I wish I was still on the ship!!! 8 days just wasn't long enough!!! We had great weather too.....not much rocking at all.... Enjoy your trip!!! I am jealous!!! Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truluv Posted May 20, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'd like to know whether you feel any real difference between a 7-day and an 8-day cruise, and whether there was enough to do in the 4-sea days. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbiggar Posted May 20, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2006 How was it disembarking off the ship? Was it a hassle to get a taxi or did you do the transfers? (fill me in on your transportation please, we are trying to figure out what to do in June.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonnacruise Posted May 20, 2006 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2006 truluv- any extra day is worth it! (to me). As far as sea days, there were plenty of activities. We just use the sea days to relax but there was always something to do... pool activities, trivia, bingo... bbiggar- We drove to the pier so no taxis or transfers, but upon disembarking the taxi line did seem long.... ENJOY THE LEGEND.... IT WAS GREAT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantanaTto Posted May 21, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2006 The Legend is a fantastic ship! We sailed on her last May in Balcony Cabin 8124 and are sailing the Legend again this September in Cabin 8120! Everything was just great...the rooms, the food, the entertainment, the crew and especially the adults only pool in the back of the ship! I am even considering taking my mother, who has never cruised before, on this same cruise again next Spring! It might be her one and only cruise and I want it to be a great experience... and I know how wonderful the Legend is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

count400@yahoo.com Posted May 21, 2006 #9 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Just got off the Legend yesterday. It was the best vacation I have ever taken. The ship is beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly. The captain took a picture with us. It was mother's day and they had a little ceremony and called up all the mother's to the stage to take a picture with the captain. They gave us some cake. I can't say enough about the ship and my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a big 'ole lifeboat blocking the view. We could see over it and under it, but that was about all. Wasn't even our assigned lifeboat - go figure :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabcruzn Posted May 24, 2006 #11 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Can someone tell me about the extended balcony cabins on the Panaroma deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get a sense of the worst case scenario for obstructed balconies on Legend. Also, did you book a balcony guarantee, or were you upgraded? I understand that if you book a balcony guarantee, the chances of ending up with an obstructed balcony is miniscule to none, and that they're really only given to upgrades from interior or oceanview guarantees.

nailz Posted May 24, 2006 #13 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Here's a good link about extend balcony cabins. Can someone tell me about the extended balcony cabins on the Panaroma deck? Here is picture of a similar balcony http://community.webshots.com/photo/549385184/2344146250047282162OezUtOI believe that there is one reclining chair, one regular chair and a small table on each balcony. The picture shows two balconies with the divider between them open. There is also an overhang above you. There was a similar thread today about extended balconies http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=337351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - no I didn't take any pics in the room. When we booked there were no unobstructed balconies available. Since it was only a 2 day Cruise to Nowhere, we decided to take a chance. We had "French Doors" that opened, but no balcony and not much view. If I was going on a longer cruise, I think I would ask to have an ocean view cabin instead - better a window that you can see out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
