tookiepetie Posted March 13, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2007 We are currently booked on the Conquest for May 20th. Our airline changed our flight times to flights that do not fit our schedule. In order to get flights to fit our schedule it will cost us more money. So... We started looking at other cruises and flights. We saw that the Carnival Legend sails out on the same day as the Conquest from Tampa. We checked flight times and they are perfect! Also we have been on the Conquest before and have been on that itenerrary twice. We have never been to any of the places that the Legend goes. We love the Conquest because it is so large and we dont feel cramped. So my question is... If money was not the issue here (which it is not) ... would you go on the Conquest or the Legend? Please be honest. We do not want to feel like we are shorting ourselves by going on a smaller ship, but also dont want to wonder if we made a wrong decision by not taking a different itenerrary. Your help is greatly appreciated. We love this site and all of the GREAT advise we have gotten from it! Thanks again in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybumpkin Posted March 13, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think that if I were in your shoes, I'd choose Legend, since you've never sailed on her before and have never been to any of the ports of call. I've been on both ships, and as I posted on another thread I think I prefer the Conquest class to Spirit class based solely on ship layout - but I enjoyed both Conquest and Legend and wouldn't hesitate to sail either again. Better flights, new ports - I think Legend wins in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neatokimmo Posted March 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I say Legend! Only because you haven't done that ship yet and you get 4 ports instead of three. It's just me but I like getting off the boat to visit new places :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinjerseygirl Posted March 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have never been on either of the twobut I can honestly tell you that when we book our cruises we go for a different ship each time to try them out, it seems fun, and the new ports that we haven't been to are even more fun I say go for the Legend, I would!

tookiepetie Posted March 13, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thank you for your thoughts! They are greatly appreciated. We are still very much undecided. We have until the end of today to decide so our PVP can switch everything! Thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuggle11 Posted March 13, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I would say go for the Legend. I sailed her last month and it was great. I enjoy the Spirit Class ships because they are so easy to get around in and have a lower passenger count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truecruiser Posted March 13, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 13, 2007 ...we have been on the Conquest before and have been on that itenerrary twice. We have never been to any of the places that the Legend goes... i think you answered your own question in a way. try a different ship w/ a different itinerary. i bet you'll be glad that you did.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sme Posted March 13, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I am surprised that you have to pay to get more desirable flight times. We had the same situation last year - the airlines changed flights and they didn't work for us. They switched us to more accommodating flights at no charge. Personally, when it comes to cruises, the desitnations are always secondary to the ship. Pick whichever ship has what you want because the ports can always be altered by the cruise lines for a variety of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
