On the entertainment side, Carnival Legend features Playlist Production music shows (think Motown and Epic Rock shows), as well as family entertainment that includes Seuss at Sea and Hasbro, the Game Show.
Stateroom accommodation:
There are 1,062 staterooms on Carnival Legend, of which 80 percent are outside staterooms; 80 percent of those have private balconies (which may also be referred to as verandas). All staterooms and suites are tastefully furnished with twin beds that convert to queens, three side-by-side closets (two of which have room for hanging clothes), plenty of drawer space, flat-screen televisions and mini-refrigerators, telephones, private safes, and a shower or shower/tub combo depending on category. Most rooms also have just two outlets (one 110V and one 220V). Bathrooms in all categories except suites have three small glass shelves by the sink, and liquid shower gel and shampoo dispensers inside the shower units. Bathrooms in all accommodations, apart from suites, have shower curtains. Suite shower stalls are equipped with glass enclosures.
Dining onboard:
Carnival Legend chefs can cater for cruisers with special dietary needs; it's always best to let the cruise line know before your sailing what your specific needs are. But generally speaking, there are always at least two vegetarian dishes offered at every meal, gluten-free bread is available all the time and at least one dessert is "no sugar added." For gluten-free meals, you'll need to work with the maitre d' in your dining room each night to pick out which menu item you want for the next night's dinner. Gluten-free pizza is also available 24/7 at Pizza Pirate in the buffet.
Catch one of the original productions created especially for Carnival Legend in Follies, the two-level main show lounge on Decks 2 and 3 at the front of the ship. Recalling the days of the magnificent movie houses of the 1920s, Follies evokes the feeling of an open courtyard in a Mediterranean villa. Arches, turrets and stained-glass chandeliers create an opulent, expansive space while providing excellent sightlines.
