Get to Know Carnival Legend

Legends are made, not born... and over time, this ship has become even more deserving of its nameplate. Let’s discover some of the secrets of Carnival Legend.

If you’re out to find new legends, flip directly to the RedFrog Pub®, featuring not only a mythical mascot, but actual drinks — plus Caribbean atmosphere by the gallon. Your heroic journey down the Green Thunder waterslide is a saga you’ll recount for ages. Bonsai Sushi proves that you needn’t teach a man to fish for him to enjoy delicacies from the sea. Once you’ve had a look — not to mention a taste — at the cocktail magic of Alchemy Bar®, you still may not believe your eyes. And Carnival Legend® even has a place for saluting some real-life heroes: Heroes Tribute Bar.

This ship, which pays tribute to some of the most enduring legends throughout the ages, still features classic Carnival Legend favorites. Take a dip in the Camelot and Avalon pools, wish for fortune at Club Merlin Casino, and uncover something to savor at Truffles Restaurant. There’s more than one way to dine at Lido Deck’s Unicorn Café, including handmade faves from Guy’s Burger Joint or fresh taco-burrito goodness from BlueIguana Cantina. And of course there’s our signature steakhouse, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, where the multi-course meal is no myth.

Music lovers who go for the classics will love Billie’s Piano Bar. Kids will tell and retell the tale of their favorite vacation, spent hanging out and meeting new friends at one of three supervised youth areas. And adults can get lost in a good book, or just one another’s company, at the legendarily kid-free Serenity Adult-Only Retreat. Experience unheard-of levels of relaxation at Cloud 9 Spa. Then, when the sun goes down, dance the night away at Medusa’s Lair Dance Club. Activities on Carnival Legend? Nothing short of legendary.

For a cruise vacation that’s sure to go down in your history books, turn to Carnival Legend.
