She Who Must Be Obeyed says Legend is her favourite ship, big enough to be spectacular and not as impersonal as the Voyager class.

Some pictures here will give you a look at the ship.

As the for experience -- the friendliness of the Island Star, but with the extra facilities that you'd expect from Royal Caribbean.

Loads of deck space (essential for the crossing!) and plenty to do on the inside. Incidentally, unless they've changed it, the Solarium roof is always closed because opening it covers the mini-golf course!

Atrium/centrum area is among the best I've seen, with a great bar at the bottom. A couple of formal nights which almost everyone complies with.

Lucky you - a crossing AND a run around the Caribbean. Best of everything!

Thanks for the excellent pics in your link.

I would really like to know, is the "cafe' lattitudes" coffee bar included in the fare?

I notice in one of the reader reviews the cost of a pint is over £4 ! is this still true ?

I don't know, but when in Rome, drink 'Bud' by the bottle.

Here is my review of Legend's sister, Spledour of the Seas.. They were built within a year of each other.
