Carnival's Legend and Inspiration

Recently four agents from Your Travel Experts had the opportunity to participate in ship inspections on Carnival Cruise Lines Inspiration and Legend.
Over a two day period, our agents toured both ships from top to bottom and experienced lunch - both casual lido deck style and in a "sit down" dining room venue.
The Inspiration is heading into a much needed dry dock September 1. There, she will receive a full renovation. The "refit" will bring the ship flat screen televisions in all cabins, new comfort bedding and more "neutral" colors, as well as getting rid of all the "glittery" colors of the main atrium. Cabin bathrooms are to be refitted with new sinks and counters similar to all of Carnival's more recently built ships. When the "drydock" is complete, it is easy to see the Inspiration will be one of the best values around. The addition of 50 connecting rooms will be a welcome addition to families.
The Legend - what a beautiful ship. Part of the Spririt class of ships, this ship has rich woods, breath-taking art and a suspended glass stairway 10 stories above the atrium. A state of the art spa with individual as well as couples massage, seaweed wraps, hot rock massage and more. The styling salon offers manicure, pedicure, cuts, color, styling and a full gym with yoga and aerobics classes - a lot to offer.
Cabins on the Legend offer comfort bedding and roomy baths. The "recessed and hidden in the ceiling" beds for 3rd and 4th passengers give everyone more room to navigate and connecting rooms give larger families more options.
Lunch on board the Legend was excellent. The dining room has a variety of glass art that illuminates in different shades, changing the ambiance. This is definitely a ship to consider.
