Legend of the Seas

Open Space: Legend of the Seas offers a wonderful amount of open deck space, from the upper deck jogging track to the multi-level pool deck.

Cool New Features, Classic Cruise Feel: She might not be the newest kid on the block, but Legend of the Seas has benefited from some jazzy updates. She now sports a brand new outdoor movie screen, stem-to-stern Wi-Fi, the retro-cool R Bar, the intimate Chef’s Table dining experience, Chops Grille, and Asian-fusion dining venue Izumi.

Let There Be Light: Legend of the Seas features massive banks of floor-to-ceiling glass in nearly every public room — including the spectacular, two-story main dining room. Not all ships have a visual connection with the sea, but this one definitely does.

Adult-Only Solarium: When poolside relaxation is in order, head to this grown-up retreat, which has a retractable canopy for when the weather's inclement.

Those Seeking to Cruise Australia: Legend of the Seas has been homeported down under year-round since 2015.

Anyone Who Thinks Bigger Isn't Better: Don’t want to sail with 6,000 of your not-so-best friends? Legend of the Seas scales the onboard mayhem back to pre-mega-ship days.

Some Staterooms Are Small: Many interior staterooms are a tight 132 square feet, and some oceanview staterooms aren’t much bigger, measuring just 151 square feet. The cabins are well-designed, but that can’t compensate for the lack of space. Expect to bump into each other quite a bit while dressing for dinner.
