Thank for the nice comments. I been talking to Carnival all day today. They are so helpful, they are doing the best they can to accommodate my needs. I feel better today and more understanding about the situation. I am trying to think that it is only 15 minutes, and I have the rest of the trip to enjoy!

Ok. I had to put my thoughts together this afternoon before I wrote anything.

I just want to make sure you all know this is not about Carnival Legend and yes, my mistake of buying the wedding package without knowing the venues. I didn't know how the tour works, but I only found out about it after I booked my wedding. So, if are doing any planning, make sure you tour before booking. That is when my mistake starts.

This morning we all got ready to go and meet the facilities...so excited! Got my daughter and fiancé ready, my in laws decided they "WOULD LOVE TO GO TOO"....fine..we took them.

Tampa port is very easy. We got in super fast, the people that work in port were very nice, They already knew we were coming. Went trough security and went to a private area and was told to follow the wedding group when they open the doors and we had pay close attention on that group, as soon as they were called we could go too. We seat and wait for about ten minutes. MIL starts complain that was a long wait. This lady comes in and start screaming on the wedding guest, telling them what do to and when they should be ready to go and that her priority was the wedding. Really?

That was very rude of her. I got a chance to talk to one of the coordinator, Celeste, nice lady. Celeste said that was 2 weddings today. But she wouldn't answer anymore questions.

You got on board just fine.

We met this nice lady, Ivana. We met her at the guest services. She took us to the "venues".

First one was the Follie lounge. It is the main theater. The lounge is beautiful but the aisde runner was placed in the middle of the stage....I don't know how the bride gets there, Ivana couldn't tell us either. There is no aisle in the middle. That looks weird. I was very disappointed because that is the lounge that I was planning for it. I hate to think that I am going to walk on the side of the stage and the jump to the middle. I was dream about it walking straight forward or down the stairs.

Off we went to another lounge. The firebird. Even worse, the bride walks from behind a bunch of chairs and a wave kind of floor, is not stairs, with high hills you get be really careful. And with I want to add any decorations on the aisle, I can't...Where am I going to place them? The chairs were all over.

I was very please with the reception lounge though. Looks very nice, but wasn't any food out yet.

After we tour all the lounges Ivana said we could go and walk around the ship and have lunch at the Lido deck. So we did that. The Legend it is a beautiful ship, all new. Very safe for the little one's ( my daughter is 14 months old). Instead rails they have all windows. Awesome.

This is my cruise number six. We always traveled with Carnival, and of course, all the other ships had a staircase in the middle of the main lounge...except the Legend.

Now I already paid for it and there is no going back.

This is not about the Carnival Legend, which is a beautiful ship. It is about the lounges they have. And in any minute I was expecting to be this disappointed.

All I can say, don't booked before we really know about the locations. Recently, I read a review about a wedding at Carnival Legend here, and was really nice.I really hope I will be to change my mind and have the most beautiful wedding and post the nicest comments here!

I just came back from Carnival Legend. I was waiting for this day for a long time and wasn't the way how I thought. I will post a review later this afternoon.

Carnival_brides,

Sorry :( lol, I should say that I am seeing a few different pictures where the bride comes from behind the chairs and the aisle start in the middle of a bunch of chair/sofas.....I really was looking forward to a straight walk...will see.

Yes, the coordinator said that a few weeks before the wedding, so far my wedding it is the first one on July 13th. I will have about 40 guests. She also mentioned that for the most part they can accommodate our request. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing all of that! Now, I noticed the video the you had some flowers on the side of each seat. How did you arrange that?

Most of the venues that I see pictures looks like the bride is always walking down the aisle side ways. I know the aisle runner it is a bit small...but I want to walk a little more than 30 sec. I just think the way how they place the ceremony is its a little weird to the bride to walk to. I am not too happy about it. If anyone could give any advice I would appreciate!

I am thinking about the possibility of going out to a beach in the Caribbean after the wedding and have someone taking pictures! Anyone did that before? I am getting married on embarkation day!

The Legend on July 13th.

I just have so many questions....lol

I will post updates from my tour on Sunday, May 4. So, that should give you an idea.

Carnival_brides,

Were you able to have linch with visitor's badge? Thank you

Carnival Bride!

Thank you for your response....I was just reading about something you post it before, how funny!

I heard from someone that we could have lunch there, so I called Carnival to ask ( because of my little one), they said no....there is no lunch. We are only going there to see the rooms and will be escorted the entire time....I don't really know what to hope for it.

And I just want to say that all your posts it's been very helpful to us. Thank you!

How long does take to take a pre wedding tour? What do we do? I will bring my little one and I am a little concern...it will be right around lunch time. Thanks on advance for the help!

Thank you for you response!

I may be crazy, but I want a place where I can walk down the aisle for more than 30 sec! I want to enjoy the song....So I was thinking about the Main Theater. I saw some pictures here where the bride walk down the aisle kind of sideways. I will keep my eyes open for that on Sunday!

Beautiful!

It's getting close (july 13th) and time to decide a few and very important things!

I am not sure about the songs. I want to be a little different and play a different song to walk down the aisle and out. I am not sure which one would be! Please, help me to figure this out! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your songs! I am getting married on embarkation day in Tampa! I want to be different but not too crazy lol. I thought about somewhere over the rainbow to walk down the aisle...a little different!

I like the idea of Garth Brooks!
