| michelyne's Full Review: Royal Caribbean Legend of the Seas |
My husband and I enjoyed our honeymoon on this ship. We took the 7 night Mexican Rivera Cruise. We absolutely loved it!
The ship is awesome! There is so much to do and see. Beginning with the top and moving down… We really enjoyed the pool deck. There is plenty of room and seating. During the day they often have live music and during the evening it was so nice being able to sit in the hot tub and enjoy the clear open sky. There is also miniature golf, a rock wall, and a track that you can walk. If you get tired of the outdoors, there is a second pool indoors along with a really nice spa and exercise room. We found the service in each of these areas to be wonderful. Everyone was very quick and courteous and they did not wait until you had a need but rather sought to fulfill it before hand (i.e. bar tenders walking around serving people).
Moving on, the bars/lounges are all really nice. Great atmosphere, not overly stuffy or dark, and again, great service! The restaurants aboard the ship are also awesome! They have a buffet area, a 24-hour snack bar, and of course the sit down dinner every night. The sit down was a lot of fun. Our waiter was excellent!!! The food at all of the places was really good. There are two formal nights, which were a lot of fun. They had photographers set up so that you could get your pictures taken (tip: get out there early or you will be standing in line). Speaking of photos, they pretty much constantly have opportunities for you to get your picture taken. We actually found this nice because our camera was not working correctly!
As far as entertainment goes… there is a theater for movies and live entertainment. We went there several times! We also enjoyed the game room. There are computers with Internet access available, but you do have to pay per minute and it is kind of expensive. Also, they do have phones available, but again it is very expensive (like $8 a minute). Speaking of which, they had this commercial showing a couple using the phones to call their dog at home. Kind of off subject, but we found it quite amusing. ($8 minutes to call someone who won’t even pay attention or talk back!) Getting back on course, there is also shopping, a casino, music, dancing, tours, etc, etc, etc….
Getting more specific, the rooms are fairly decent. We had a balcony room, which I do highly recommend. This way you get your own private area to enjoy the ocean view! It was great being able to sit out there as we arrived at our ports. Anyways, I do have to say that I hated the bed! It is very, very hard. So if you are real sensitive to this you may want to bring an air mattress or something. Besides that the rooms are pretty nice and again, the service was awesome! Our room guy was really nice and right on top of it. Seems like every time we left our room he was in there straightening up. We did not have to worry at all about our stuff… We left a tip out for him and he did not even take it. They do have safes though for you to lock up valuables.
The ship itself was very clean, in apparently good repair and order, etc… You can feel the movement of the ocean if it gets rough at all. We ended up leaving one area right before a storm and that night it was a little rough. Lots of people ended up staying low that evening.
The cruise destination itself is probably the one and only thing that we were not 100% satisfied with. It was fine and we had fun, but honestly I don’t think I would go down there again (at least on a cruise ship). However, this is probably more just personal opinion than anything and it did not in the least put a damper on our trip. I still highly recommend this cruise liner and even this trip (if Mexico is the place for you). We had a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat!
