Legend vs Victory - movement concern

[FunShipAddict]

I have sailed on the Victory and Triumph - both were great! Hardly any movement. I worry a bit about motion sickness and have not had any problems with these ships. However, I just booked on the Legend and have been told it is a smaller ship.

 

For anyone that has traveled on both - is there a big difference in motion?

TIA

You obviously weren't on the Triumph this past month. Although our weather was beautiful during the entire 7 days (Eastern Caribbean), mother nature was huffing & puffing all week and in the winds on the high seas were fierce!! We were rocking & listing like crazy!

The captain even announced that they would be changing course to help stabilize the ship.

Actually - I was on the Triumph April 19 - 26. We had a couple days of

movement - one day in particular when you walked down the hall in a diagonal path rather than straight. That was tolerable for me - but on a smaller ship I wonder if it would take the waves as well as the Triumph did.

Hey, I was on Freedom that week - that last sea day was rocking and rolling.

It was great cruising with you..... We were two ports together and took turns leading and following back to Miami - we kept checking on that night out of Grand Turk - we could see your ship at different locations from us.

At one point your captian must have put it into over drive, you were way back for a while - then you were next door.

 

So did you have a good cruise? Did you also go to San Juan?

Yea, we noticed that too and wondered what was going on, lol. Our balcony cabin was starboard side so we had a good view of you all day. I think I took more pictures of your ship than of ours. :eek:

We had a great cruise! We went to San Juan on Wednesday, 7 - 3:30, the day after St. Thomas. (That is why you beat us to Grand Turk.:D ) Our first stop was Half Moon Cay on Sunday.

We have cruised on Legend (getting back on topic ;) ) and didn't notice more motion than on Victory or Freedom. I know size is supposed to be a factor but perhaps the sea conditions and use/non-use of the stabilizers play a larger role. :confused:

Krooz - thanks for info on movement.

 

How did you like Half Moon? (LOL! My DH took several pics of your boat!

He got an excellent pic of your bridge when it was right next to us)

I have sailed the Triumph, Victory and the Legend. I have never noticed any difference in the movement. I am very prone to motion sickness and I take a Bonine in the am and one in the pm....have NEVER had the slightest problem with sickness, even in rough seas.

 

I always book a midship room on a lower level deck...that helps a LOT.

 

Good luck...the Legend is a wonderful ship.

How did you like Half Moon?

 

We LOVED Half Moon Cay! It is gorgeous! Hope to get back there in November on Fascination. Our pictures there: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563324038ydMyjX

Thanks Buster! Good to hear. I am prone to motion sickness as well - although I seem to be getting much better in my old age.. :p

 

Krooz - Thanks for the photos will check out when I get home, yes I'm chatting on work time and your album is "forbidden' on my work computer.... I wasn't sure about Half Moon - that's why I choose the Triumph over Freedom - but I like a day in btw ports and you did the ports back to back. But on the Legend next Feb - I will be doing ports back to back. I like the idea of having a day btw to chill - coz port days are so busy.... but I'm really looking forward to it. Hope your Nov cruise is awesome!
