Creator's Key Takeaways

I drink Coke because I don't need booze to cruise.

This ship only has about 7 8 ft leeway going under the bridge, so I'm kind of excited to see that as we cross under.

I love Carnival's Pizza.

The Carnival cruise directors are hands down the best cruise directors I see.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Arrive early for the piano bar to get a good seat.
โœ“Show up 30 minutes before the comedy show doors open for a good seat.
โœ“If you don't eat at the main dining room, check the buffet for similar food options.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I didn't intend to make Day 1 on the Carnival Legend sailing out of Tampa two parts, but I tried to do everything and see everything on the first day and I know that nobody wants to watch a 50 minute vlog, no matter how interesting it is. So I broke this video into two parts. Part 1 is the embarkation up to the sail away party. Part 2 is going under the bridge and the evening festivities. Welcome to our Easter Cruise on the Carnival Legend sailing out of Tampa Bay. We are going to Cozumel and I am excited because I haven't been there in a while. Carnival Legend is a Spirit Class Ship that had her initial sailing in 2002. This is my first time on a Spirit Class Carnival Ship and I am excited. Plus going out of Tampa made for an easy embarkation. If you have never sailed out of Tampa, there is a bridge the ship's have to pass under as it goes out to the Gulf, which limits the size of the ships that sail out of Tampa. Today is Embarkation day, which is always the best day. In this video, we finally make it under the bridge and then we begin the evening activities, including visiting the Medusa Night Club.
