We just came off the Legend (right before your Greenland cruise) and our late dining was at 7:45. I actually preferred it to the old 8:15 because there was actually time to get to the after-dinner shows.

That might be an option, especially since we are driving to port rather than flying. I had thought about it but didn't know if it was allowed or practical to schlep 🙂 I'm considering it now!

So with cabanas sold out for my August 6 cruise, I'm debating what to do. We are a family of 6 and have had one on each of our trips to HMC... but I missed out this time and at $699 will probably not bite even if one becomes available. I'm going to buy masks and snorkels for the kids at Target, and maybe bring an inflatable raft or two (or splurge the $20/ea to rent them). Just worried about finding some shade (I know the clamshells are an option but I hear they oversell them, hard to find one, etc.)

To this I will say that they don't count the people actually using the facility. (Yet.)

I'm also a little annoyed that there was no warning. With the price increases for onboard wifi and/or Cheers program, there were months of warning to book before prices go up. This only got on my radar because I saw it on Twitter.

How late was the Lido pool open? I know Legend doesn't have the "dive in movies" because they don't have the big screen, but I'm wondering if the pool is kept open late (my kids love night swimming after late dinner). Sailing in August.

I'm really struggling. We have been to HMC many times and always gotten a cabana, never for more than $299 (this was all pre-COVID). Going on the Legend in August and hubby has been telling me to book the cabana already but I was balking at the $499 price. Now today I looked and see not only is it now $699, but it's sold out for my cruise. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Following along! We have our first trip on the LEGEND this summer, but I've been on the Pride many times. I'm very interested to know how late the Lido pool is open most nights - I know they don't have the Dive In Movies, but I'm hoping the pool at least stays open late, because swimming after late dinner is always a highlight for my kids. Can you check it out for me?

I was on the Horizon in August, could still check account on the in-room TV. As for me, I dislike using my phone on the cruise. I have a good digital camera and carry that for pics. My teens use their phones for photos, video, etc. so were more likely to carry them around all day (I did NOT buy the internet package). We mostly functioned without them. The first Seaday brunch I got quite a shock when told I needed to have reserved the table on my phone, but the hostess was still extremely polite, took my sign and sail, and advised me to have a seat and wait. We always asked for menus in the dining room and they were willing to provide, though generally they only gave us one or two for our party of six.

I was able to get the next day's Fun Times at the front desk before midnight most days.

Thanks. My husband is kind of disappointed about the lack of movie screen (He likes to fall asleep in front of the movie after dinner 😄 ) but my kids will be really disappointed if the pool isn't open late. I love cruising out of Baltimore and this one was such a good sale (next August) but I'm wondering if we will regret it.

I know the Legend doesn't have them but does anyone know if they keep the pool open late anyway?

ON my 8/6 Horizon cruise, they would show an early movie (maybe around 6 or 7?) and a late movie at 10pm. There were two or three deck parties on the 8-night cruise, so on those nights there was no 10pm movie. However, one night there was a midnight movie. Pool stayed open until 11:40 PM or so every night, whether movie or no. My only disappointment was that the movies were repeated two (or three!) times, rather than a new movie every night.

I know the Legend doesn't show the "Dive in Movies," but is the pool open until midnight anyway? We always do late dining and the kids like to go for a swim after supper. We've sailed the Pride out of Baltimore many times, going for the Legend out of Baltimore next summer. Thanks!
