Cruise was "Legendary" - awful! by
A Traveler from Ohio Sailing date: Mar 2013Pros: The on board staff was very kind and very hard working Cons: The fact that we had propulsion issues and missed two of our four scheduled ports! We booked this particular cruise because it was SCHEDULED to go to Belize and Grand Cayman. The Legend had propulsion issues with the motor so we weren't able to get to Belize or Grand Cayman. They substituted Costa Maya for Belize, and we were SO disappointed! Then, because the ship could only go at half speed, we had to start home on Thursday afternoon skipping a fourth stop and were at sea until the early hours of Sunday morning in order to make it back to Tampa. For all that trouble, they gave us each a whopping $100 back! Oh yeah, and 50% off our NEXT cruise. Like anyone will book on them again!!NOT  0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Big Disappointment by
Ebelyn F. from Fort Myers, FL Sailing date: May 2011Pros: Not Much Cons: Almost Everything Food wad a HUGE disappointment. Menu was limited and the food simply did not taste as good.
Someone took beer and soda from our refrigerator on the 2nd day and after two calls, it was finally replaced on the 3th day.
We were placed in a "handicap room" where the cmmode did not fit, wheelchair did not fit through the door, etc. And they put us in the very front of the ship, when the restaurant was at the end of the ship. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodVery disappointment. Stateroom QualityNor made for those with dosabilities. Ship Staff QualityWere not as friendly as we are used to,. Entertainment & ActivitiesEverything was very far from our room and diffiult for a wheelchair,

Belize City, BelizeTook a short trip thogh thr city. Very intersting. But to visit the Mayan reuinds, you have to climb about 60 feer, something we were noy capab;r of doimg.
Cozumel, MexicoWe took a taxi straight to the beach for only $!15, each way. Much cheaper than taking one of the excusrions,
Don't Miss: Lous and Chatlies Restaurant/bar. George Town, Grand CaymanIslans wer fun to explore on our ownn.
Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, HondurasThe Islamds were great and the plus was spending time with the locals.

Won't happen again! by
jason p from buffalo, NY Sailing date: Sep 2010Pros: the food in ports waaay better than the ships Cons: waiting for everything! My wife and I have cruised Carnival before and other lines as well. This was by far the worst I have ever been on. We were constantly waiting for everything, especially food. I understand there are 2000+ people on board, that is all the more reason to open up the buffets a little before lunchtime and a little after, not just an hour or so. Having to stand in line for 15 minutes to only be told that it will take ten more for a slice of pizza is ridiculous. The excursion were fine, as always. The ship seems a little outdated and need of service. Missing and broken tiles, carpet looks terrible with stains everywhere, I was hit by two seperate doors that were unsecurred on deck, blowing around. Like I said earlier, this isn't my first cruise, I know what to expect. I was sorely disappointed. Even the attidue of the crewmembers were poor. The coffee was out in a machine so I asked a crewmember where another was I could use and he said " I don't know, there's 3 on this deck, go find another one". I heard more I don't knows on this trip than I have ever heard in my life! Ship QualityThis will probably be the last Carnival Cruise my family goes on. Dining/FoodNot convenient to cruisers at all, seems better for the staff.... Stateroom QualityStateroom was ok, needed recarpeted and new bedspreads-stains Ship Staff QualityThe only time I felt helped was from the bus driver from the ship to the airport.Very nice man!

Cozumel, MexicoWas dropped off with a beach package at Playa Mia. Major thunderstorm hit and had to pay for a taxi back instead of them running a return bus early. Coulda sat and waited under the tent for two more hours I guess...
George Town, Grand CaymanAlways a place to go and visit for us! We see the stingray City every year. Never gets old.
Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, HondurasHad a good time-visited the monkey,pirate,break. Tour guide was awesome. Be prepared though, you will drive through a DEVELOPING country. Looks pretty rough.

not so wonderful cruise by
James B from Floyds Knobs, In Sailing date: Oct 2012Pros: very nice ship. Clean and well maintained. nice staff. Cons: did not have shows every night. on one show the main host did not show up Performers, like comedians not very good. One performer did not show up for his show. Not a lot of good entertainment on the ship. The big water slide is not steep enough, so you have to push yourself down. No fun. Ship QualityThe ship was very nice ,clean and nice layout. Dining/Foodthe food was good except for the pizza. It was really bad. It did not have enough sauce. Very dry and tasteless. Stateroom Qualitythe only thing I missed was a curtain between the bed and the rest of the room. Ship Staff QualityOur waiters and room stewards were excellent. Entertainment & Activities

Left a Lot to be desired by
A Traveler from Vermont Sailing date: Sep 2011Pros: the wheather Cons: the food was horrible The ship was spacious, the help was good. Ship Qualitythe public restrooms had a tendacy to be trashed. Dining/Foodyou could not get a hot meal in the dining room. They always served it cold and more than once they didn't get it right or forgot a meal totally. We finally resorted to the buffet burger bar at the pool to eat there it was at least hot.
When we commented to the hostess they responded with we changed our menu for the older September cruisers they do not like spices ect. Our comment fine but serve it hot or at least remember all the meals to the table. Stateroom Quality

George Town, Grand Caymannice island, guide ran us through the turltle farm as fast as he could so we would have more time to shop
Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Hondurastotal waste of time the guide was to busy telling us how bad they had it because the carnival customers do not spend enough money, she actually told us they could not wait for the NOvemvber crowd from Princess lines they were bigger spenders.
