margaret a Posted March 23, 2013 #102 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Sail-away. View from our balcony. You can see the Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer. Hi, Just a quick question. On the deck plans on the RCCL website it says that there is a sports area on deck 9 riight above theAFT JS cabins on deck 8. Being very nervous about that, I have avoided th AFT JS on the legend. Is it true? If so, how about the noise? PS...love your pictures!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanspike Posted March 23, 2013 #103 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks for sharing. We are sailing in February 2014 and now I really can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alter Ego Posted March 23, 2013 #104 Share Posted March 23, 2013 What a pleasure to find this today! I really enjoy your reviews because they are to more "exotic" locales than the typical Caribbean/Meditteranean itineraries. And it's just interesting to read the experiences of somebody from a different corner of the earth. Can't wait for the rest of the review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stcarnivalcruise Posted March 23, 2013 #105 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thank you, thank you, thank you.....we are on the 2013 Holiday Legend cruise and I have been waiting for a review of the "new" ship. If you have any photos of the "teen" area and the library (I heard it may be gone), I would much appreciate it !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVU Posted March 23, 2013 #106 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thank you again, if you have a chance to take any more JS photos of a cabin and closet etc. that would be great. I don't think they have the same walk in closet, as on other ships Junior Suites? There sure is not much to find on the Legend.:confused: Now everyone can come here to see her.:D Thanks!!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inar Posted March 23, 2013 #107 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Great review! Can't wait to see more! I board her on April 5th. Are there kettles in all rooms or only in junior suites? Was the MDR open for lunch on boarding day? I don't think I've ever seen that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the MDR open for lunch on boarding day? I don't think I've ever seen that. Sounds like the MDR and WJ are crowded at noon:eek:.......we are not used to a smaller ship, so will be interesting. Also, if you get a chance to take any photos of the Concierge Lounge or Diamond Lounge that would be great..... You are popular!! But, please enjoy your cruise and not feel you must cater to all of our requests and Do have fun!! Big Thanks!!!!

TheDailyMel Posted March 23, 2013 #110 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks so much for sharing all of the wonderful pictures of the renovated Legend! I'll be sailing on her in April 2014 for a transatlantic cruise in a JS and can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted March 24, 2013 #111 Share Posted March 24, 2013 actually, Monarch and Majesty, of the Sovereign class are RCI's smallest ships, that's why they've both been transferred to Pullmantur. Legend is a member of the Vision class. Sailed on her in 2007 and she looks great after her Royal Advantage make over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend - 867 feet. 70,000 tons Majesty - 880 feet. 73941 tons The Legend is officially the smallest ship in Royal Carribean's current fleet. I recall her GRoss tonnage was a shade under 70,000.

Legend is a member of the Vision class. Sailed on her in 2007 and she looks great after her Royal Advantage make over. We sailed on the Legend in 2011. She looks much better now, after the month long dry dock in Singapore. Many of the crew we met onboard were on the ship throughout the entire dry dock. Work was done at a frenetic pace and all the crew had to assist and/or undergo crew training. Edited March 24, 2013 by Iluvcruising2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Club and Concierge Lounge were both located on Deck 9 midship very near the elevators. The flow wasn't blocked at all. The lounges are on a hump. The views from Diamond lounge were great. More pics to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there kettles in all rooms or only in junior suites? Was the MDR open for lunch on boarding day? I don't think I've ever seen that. Welcome to Singapore! Yes, I think there were kettles in all rooms. But only JS and above get coffee machines. Yes, MDR was opened for lunch on embarkation day. This was the first time we have seen this too.

Iluvcruising2 Posted March 24, 2013 Author #119 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hi, Just a quick question. On the deck plans on the RCCL website it says that there is a sports area on deck 9 riight above theAFT JS cabins on deck 8. Being very nervous about that, I have avoided th AFT JS on the legend. Is it true? If so, how about the noise? PS...love your pictures!!!! Noise was a non issue. Cabin was very quiet. However, soot was an issue. This was the first time we had such a bad soot issue. The balcony was still usable but you have to clean the loungers or ask your stateroom attendant to clean them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvcruising2 Posted March 24, 2013 Author #120 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks for the wonderful review and pictures. Hope it's OK to share the link on our 2014 Roll Call threads. :) Please go ahead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There sure is not much to find on the Legend.:confused: Now everyone can come here to see her.:D Thanks!!!!:) Yes, the JS is rather small, compared to say the Voyager. Also, the closet is no longer the walk-in closet found in the Voyager class. This picture would give you some idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvcruising2 Posted March 24, 2013 Author #123 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) This was the ‘secret staircase’. From Deck 8, near the aft cabins, there was this staircase that led directly to the Spa and Fitness centre, and very near the Solarium and the brand new Park Café! Very convenient for us.

Iluvcruising2 Posted March 24, 2013 Author #124 Share Posted March 24, 2013 One of the best additions to the Legend must be the Park Café, located at the back of the Solarium just outside the Spa and Vitality centre. It is usually open for breakfast from 7am onwards. It also serves afternoon snacks from noon till late afternoon. It opens again at 9pm till 12:30am.

Iluvcruising2 Posted March 24, 2013 Author #125 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Some of the food offerings at the Park Café. The yogurt parfait (the strawberry version) in those big cups are good, crazily good. Edited March 24, 2013 by Iluvcruising2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
