We had read a couple of reviews before our holiday, one favorable the other not quite so. We arrived at Southampton port to be met by most helpful staff; we were quickly dealt with and boarded with ease. We were informed on boarding that a buffet lunch was ready in the windjammer lounge which we declined as we had late breakfast that morning, we wandered round the ship trying hard not to get lost, what a magnificent ship we were overwhelmed by the size of it. We sailed out of Southampton to the sounds of a band on the quay. We had an inside cabin, we tried to upgrade but the ship was full but was This was our first cruise, pleasantly surprised by the size of the cabin, our cabin attendant introduced himself and during the holiday he couldn’t do enough for us in fact all the crew were friendly, attentive and couldn’t do enough for us, we felt like royalty. The food was excellent, we dined in the Romeo & Juliet dining room only 3 times the service very good but we preferred the Windjammer café, and the variety of food was excellent and enjoyable. So much going on at nights we had to toss up what to do, good shows in the theatre great bars lots of entertainment for everyone, the children had their own clubs which they seemed to enjoy, it was nice to see the soft drinks machine and ice-cream machine where the kids and adults could help themselves, we mostly had tea or coffee which was on tap anytime of day all free. Going back to our cabin at night we found bed turned down chocolates on our pillows and fresh towels made into animals on our bed, your towels and face clothes are changed every day if used. We booked four tour excursions first Praia Da Rocha we thought the bus was going to town but it was for the beach, we walked into town not far from the dock. We did Rome on our own which we thoroughly enjoyed going at our own pace and resting when we needed to, it was so hot. Nice & Monaco lovely and the beach in Corsica great. All in all it was the holiday of a lifetime we can’t praise the captain or the crew of the LEGEND OF THE SEAS enough. We will most certainly do this trip again, well done Royal Caribbean
