We are excited to be checking out the Legend on 1-18-09 out of Tampa. This will be our first Tampa visit and our first on Carnival. Also our first for a balcony and taking along our teenage son. This will be his first cruise. We are doing a pre and post hotel. Coming in on Saturday and will be at the Embassy suites Convention Center downtown. We have booked our shore exursions but may opt to do some other bookings not through the cruise line, like the cave tubing in Belize. See you on the ship! James & Trina
