HI

welcome to CLF!

I am glad you find the information useful.
Dont worry, your English is very good.

You are booking the February 20 cruise to Vietnam from Hong Kong??
Its a lovely itinerary.

Have you been there before???
Have you cruised on the Legend of the Seas before??

m7389hk · 10-03-2009, 08:38 AM

Yes, I am booking the February 20 cruise to Vietnam from Hong Kong.
I have a 4D3N cruise on the SuperStar Virgo which is cruise to the Sanya and Halong Bay. Unfortunately I have not visit the Halong Bay because of a storm. (It was on 12/10/2008 departing from Hong Kong) I have not cruise on Legend of the sea before. So it will be my first time to cruise on the Legend of the seas.

Also this is my first time to cruise on the RCL ship.
Was the legend of the seas crew friendly?

You will like the Legend of the seas. I like the size of the ship and the fact that there are so much glass all over the ship.
The crew is very friendly and service minded.
Also, I belive the Legend is going into dry dock for a refurbishment soon.

*Lars* · 10-03-2009, 08:48 AM

I just checked, the Legend is going into dry dock the end of January 2010.
I am looking forward to hear what they are doing with the ship.
