We were on the Legend in May. The parking lot process was bogged down by people who did not have their luggage tags on their luggage. We only waited about 20-30 mins, but quickly found out the issue when the gentleman directing cars told us what was going on. He asked if we had our luggage tags on already and thanked us when we said yes. As far as getting through the embarkation, that was slightly chaotic at the point where you show your VeriFly or paper documents, then it was quickly through security and we waited about 2 minutes for a check in to open up. We were on the ship within 15 minutes after entering the building. One thing that stood out to us was how kind people were in the terminal!
As for the cruise itself, we noticed the food portions weren't as large as in the paste and the menu wasn't super exciting. We never went hungry though! We did the steakhouse one night and it was really good. We had never been before, so it was a new experience for our family.
The Playlist cast was awful. There were 2 people that could carry a tune, the others - yikes. We agreed the ship is showing her age and given the "pause" had expected they would have taken that time to do much needed work and upgrades. We cruise because we enjoy cruising and don't need all the new bells & whistles, but the Legend definitely could use some love.
The debarkation process is just inefficient. The hurry up and wait drives us bonkers. However, once we were off the ship, we were on the road home within 20 minutes.
We like cruising from Baltimore because it's so convenient for us. The itineraries are boring though. We can't decide what to do next because the idea of flying in this current travel situation is unappealing and expensive. We aren't interested in sailing out of NYC for a number of reasons. So we've talked about Bayonne, but again, crappy itinerary unless you want to go for 2 weeks, which we can't do with our vacation time allotments. Driving to Florida - again, wasted days off. LOL So...we have nothing booked right now.
