Launched one year after Carnival Spirit, Carnival Legend continues the legacy of the Spirit Class vessels. Introductions include an array of alternative restaurants and eateries, a high percentage of outside cabins (80 percent), and even a wedding chapel. The moves are in keeping with the changing passenger demographic in recent decades. Entire families and large group bookings are commonplace these days, and the opportunity for passengers to enjoy private and public celebrations is all part of the service. Seniors and more intimate couples are not left out of the loop either, with Carnival Legend providing all the comforts of home and plenty of opportunity for private time. And all this is even before you begin to explore some of the most attractive itinerary destinations on the planet.
Just under two years ago, Carnival Legend underwent a $47 million refurbishment in readiness for its entrance into the Australian market. Thrill-seekers will be excited to take a ride down the new Green Thunder waterslide, while younger ones work up the courage to try the much smaller Splashdown slide replete with drenching bucket. Adults requiring some down-time are likely to head to the new Serenity Retreat, or kick back and try some taste sensations at the RedFrog Pub.

Carnival Legend has also expanded its menu choices in the main restaurant, introduced a refurbished fitness centre, added Australian power outlets and upgraded the poker machines to accept Australian money. New Playlist Production music shows are on offer, and the whole family will enjoy Seuss at Sea and the Game Show. This vessel is truly a case of legend by name, legend by nature, a theme that is abundantly obvious upon noting the gigantic painting of Colossus in the Atrium.
Carnival Legend aspires to provide a real indoor/outdoor experience. Just under three quarters of cabins have private balconies providing the opportunity to step outside at any time and enjoy the view or sea air. The rooms are tastefully decorated, with every mod-con required to make the ride an enjoyable and memorable experience.
Australians have an affinity with the water, and this is no more obvious than in Sydney, a city with dozens of ocean beaches, and many more dotting the amazing harbour. Sydney is an international city loved by people the world over, and a place worth exploring as part of a Carnival adventure. The water is clean, the air is fresh, and the time is right for taking Carnival cruises from Sydney in 2016 .
