LEGEND OF THE SEAS



Good Stuff / Reviews / Royal Caribbean Cruise

My friends who went on a Royal Caribbean Cruise have been raving about how much they enjoyed the cruise vacation. The couple have even decided to book another cruise for their honeymoon next year to save the hassle of trip planning. Sounds good! I’ve not been on a holiday cruise before. When OMY extended invitation to join “My Royal Caribbean Cruise Adventure” onboard LEGEND OF THE SEAS, I went.

Together with about 50 OMY bloggers, we spent around 3 hours to check out the facilities and suites on the 70,000 tons cruise ship that has just refurbished early this year, and had lunch before we disembarked LEGEND OF THE SEAS. It was certainly too short a trip for a pampering cruise indulgence but a nice catch-up with friends like Edmund, Maryann, Walter, Catherine, Keropok Man, Alvin, Calvin and acquainted with new friends too.

If this blog post is good enough to be selected as one of the 10 finalists, I’ll have a chance to go onboard LEGEND OF THE SEAS for a 5D4N Isle of Southeast Asia Cruise. I stay up late to edit the photos and write this post, but I know I lack the creativity now as it’s already 4am! If there is an opportunity to embark for a real holiday cruise on LEGEND OF THE SEAS, I think I can capture more lovely photos and write a better blog for the award-winning cruise! *wink* =)))

Here is a video compilation of photos taken onboard LEGEND OF THE SEAS. Hope you like it! (p.s: it may take sometime to load)

Onboard LEGEND OF THE SEAS.

There are plenty of onboard activities to keep you entertained. For the golf lovers, you can hang out at the 9-hole miniature golf course.

A rock-climbing wall for the adrenaline junkies.

A bunch of bloggers at the briefing.

Walter & Edmund.

Opulent.

Pretty girls!

I almost forgot that I was on a ship. LEGEND OF THE SEAS is like a megacomplex with entertainment & activity centres, day spa & fitness centre, restaurants and of course, a wide selection of staterooms for rest and relaxation.

The friendly virtuosos who are always ready to pose for a shot.

Swimming pool

Royal Caribbean Online Internet Centre.

Try your luck at Casino Royale.

The Spa centre.

Sauna

A Junior Suite with an ocean view.

The Fitness Centre where you can exercise with an ocean view!

LEGEND OF THE SEAS was built in 1995.

Lunch at Romeo & Juliet dining room.

Appetizer: Shrimp cocktail royal

Entree: Chef’s Halibut. It’s a broiled fish fillet slathered with Spanish soffrito and truffle scented polenta.

Dessert: Ivory chocolate fondue, with sweet berries on white chocolate mousse.

A happy bunch that just disembarked from Legend of the Seas.

Thank U, OMY and Royal Caribbean Int’l for hosting us onboard LEGEND OF THE SEAS. Now I know why more and more holidaymakers choose to go on cruise vacation!

If you are planning for a cruise holiday, look for a good cruise company. Royal Caribbean Cruises it is.

    another great post eunice! have you been to the Philippines? I bet you’d enjoy it too. We got so many islands to choose from :) Me and my friends are going to Singapore early next year, and I’m revisiting your old posts to get first hand info on places we can go to.

  • eunice said on November 26, 2010 6:41 pm

    Thanks Michelle! :) No.. no chance to go to the Philippines yet.. any sponsors here? lol
    Ok for Singapore, apart from those sights that I’ve blogged here, you can consider visiting the Skypark at Marina Bay Sands! Awesome view of the city from atop! I think it’s only $20/pax, cheaper than Singapore Flyer. Cheers!!

    Hey nice post there Eunice, and glad to have met you that day. I think its obvious that you MUST win because you are a professional travel blogger, unlike some wannabes like me. :) Hope to catch up again soon. :)
