Reviewer read

A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on dining.

Carnival Legend rates higher overall than 51% of the ships we track. Entertainment is its strongest showing. The weak spot is dining.

The one caution

7.6out of 10 for dining

Higher than only 38% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.76.

Everything else, in two lines

Five are good without being remarkable: entertainment, value, fitness, activities and embarkation. They rate higher than 53% to 73% of ships.

Six fall below the fleet: disembarkation, public areas, cabins, service, ship quality and dining. They rate higher than 38% to 50% of ships.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.34 and 8.61. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

Family has too few ratings on this ship to compare with the fleet, so it is shown without a comparison.
