The Legend Review that I never thought would be posted

[CanWeGoYet?]

No, I can't say that this is something I see. I did not think it was permitted inside, only outside at the pool side tables.

Saw it on my cruise on occasion. Not very common though.

This was not at an inside venue. It was outside next to the pool. Just wondering why this same thing has come up before. My brother would never eat anywhere inside with his shirt off. Nothing wrong with by the pool though.

That's great to support your team.

Thank you for your honest review! It'll be interesting to see how we fare in the casino this June. Your vow renewal plans may be a perfect time for you two to try Princess, as you treat your lady like one! But they have changed their smoking policies to the point that it may turn you off to it. It has us! Whatever you choose enjoy!

We were going to do our renewal of our vows for our 10th anniversary in Sept 2013. Any one have ideas for this since The Legend is going to be else where. Carnical does not have intineraries posted that far out. Just looking for ideas.

Thanks

VEGAS BABY!

Gambling, free drinks, perks, sunshine.... I hear they even do weddings and vow renewals and stuff like that.

Seems right up your alley.... unless you are set on another cruise.

I decided I will go to the gym after I read your review. 23 pages later and I'll go after I write out my thoughts.

Sorry to hear about your mom

On my last five day cruise I set aside $20 to spend at the casino. I doubled my money and cashed out immediately. So the casino makes no money off of me. However, I'd be upset if I didn't get what was coming to me!

Great pictures!

I'm still on the fence with having dinner at the steakhouse. Honestly, I'd do it if I could wear jeans and sneakers I hate dressing up.

I'm sure Hubby will respond on his own but we got married on the Carnival Spirit and we'd like to renew our vows the same way. Cruising is just what we love to do.

Maybe someday, but I don't like to fly. So for right now it's cruising all the way for us

Appreciate your thoughts about my mom. Still very difficult. I must say that we are both about to jump out of our skin because we are so ready for a vacation. It's been a rough few months.
I can't really advise you on the Steakhouse. How we feel as far as the dress code is just our opinion. We have seen jeans but I think the sneakers would be pushing it a bit. Maybe jeans with a cute pair of pumps or boots. Just sayin... Glad you enjoyed the review.

Wow, just found this thread yesterday and spent waaaay too much time at work reading it over two days! Thanks for the wonderfully detailed description of your trip. Husband and I are taking the same trip April 29th. He's never cruised before so I'm sending him your blog posting to read. We are beach people and will most likely follow the same path you and your husband took at each location except Belize. We'll use that as a ship day as nothing there interests us.

How did you adhere the net to the outside cabin door? I think its a great idea and will help us "navigate" home late at night if our door is a little decorated (scotch tape?).

Also, totally stealing your painted toes idea. Just remember, copying someone is a form of flattery! You sound like a fun couple-we will also spend a lot of time at the casino. Husband is an avid Hard Rock weekend player (we live in Tampa area). Are the casino cards for Carnival aligned with any other casion (like in Vegas?). I'm wondering if we bring our other player cards would they be useful? I see your taking the Legend out later this year, wish we could have crossed paths with you on our cruise! Thanks again, it was an enlightening, informative post. Mary

WOW! Thanks for the great compliments! I bought the net at LTM and it is so big that it actually hangs way over the inside of the door. We did tape it on the inside and a couple of places on the outside just to stretch it out a bit. We usually decorate our door with various things, but had some things stolen before. Hubby really doesn't want me to decorate the door this time as we are near the elevators. I always bring the materials so we'll see.
We Live South of Sarasota and used to go up to Hard Rock, but since we try to cruise 3-4 times a year, we pretty much gave that up. Especially with how much we gamble on the ship.
We just love the Legend and really wanted to do our vow renewal on her and then it was announced that she would be going to Europe during the time we wanted to do this, so now we're looking at other ships.
Please feel free to "steal" my toes. I actually stole them from someone else on CC.
As far as the Players Club cards from other casinos, I do not believe they accept them. We never even thought to do that.
You will have a fantastic time on her. Tampa is a great port also.
Thanks again,
Michele

No Vegas is for a party only for the guys. I enjoy being with my wife. We are always together. Get free drinks on the ship!!!

I thought they would confiscate items like that. I want one too.

No, they are allowed as long as it is in proper working condition. I got it at Bed, Bath & Beyond

Have you ever been to Vegas? Trust me, it's not just a party for the guys. If you haven't been you and the DW MUST go. There is something almost magical about the place that everyone should experience at least once - and knowing you two from your TR's, I guarantee you would be hooked after your first visit.

Hubby has been a few times and he did love it, however, I just can't get on a plane, so maybe someday we will drive out there. It is definitely on our bucket list, but just not right now. Truly, I don't know why he wrote that Vegas was a party for guys and I asked him as he posted it. Trust me, I don't think he really wrote what he meant. Maybe just a strange moment. I really don't know.

carncruiser1964, I'm new to the this forum stuff and had a few legend questions for you. Is there any way to do that not in a public forum?
