Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going on Carnival Legend for a 10 night cruise. We're going to go to Princess Keys.

I have mixed feelings about this about this parking um situation here in Galveastston.

We walked into the terminal, breezed right through, never stopped, never sat down.

I've been really impressed so far with the food.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Look into the Residence Inn Marriott for pre-cruise stays as it's affordable and walkable.
✓Consider covered parking at Galveston Park and Cruise if you're concerned about weather, but drop off luggage first to make the walk easier.
✓Book an ocean suite for priority boarding and a ready room when you board.
✓For a 10-night cruise on Carnival Legend, the Anytime dining room on the third floor is quieter than the set time dining on the second floor.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Parking and getting to the ship — Drop off luggage before parking to make the walk easier, and consider covered parking if weather is a concern.
Dining on the first night — Opt for Anytime dining on the third floor for a quieter experience compared to set time dining on the second floor.
