2,124-Passenger
‘Fun Ship’ to Sail from Tampa Through August Before Repositioning to
Sydney for Seasonal Cruises from Down Under in September
MIAMI – Carnival Legend recently returned to service from
Tampa with a variety of new and exciting innovations, including a
WaterWorks aqua park featuring
the exhilarating Green Thunder water attraction, as well as a Twister
slide, a children’s spray park and more.
Also
new is the tropics-inspired RedFrog Pub, a full-service sushi
restaurant called Bonsai Sushi, the Cherry on Top confections and
novelty shop, and two new entertainment
options, Playlist Productions and Hasbro, The Game Show, all of which
were added during a multi-million-dollar makeover in Freeport, The
Bahamas.
“With
these enhancements we’ve made a terrific ship even better, adding an
exhilarating water attraction, as well as a variety of fantastic new
dining, bar and entertainment
options,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO. “Carnival
Legend offers an incredible array of on-board choices and we’re looking
forward to working with our travel agent partners in marketing this
newly enhanced ‘Fun Ship’ to consumers,” he added.
New features on Carnival Legend include:
·
WaterWorks,
an aqua park highlighted by Green Thunder – the only attraction
of its kind in North America that features an 187-foot-long slide with a
pulse-pounding 34-foot-long drop where riders obtain speeds of up to 25
miles per hour; WaterWorks also features the 214-foot-long Twister
slide, as well as a splash zone with various
spray toys, dual mini-racing slides, and a 150-gallon PowerDrencher
tipping bucket.
·
RedFrog Pub,
a Caribbean-themed watering hole where guests can relax with
the Caribbean’s best rums and beers – along with Carnival’s own
ThirstyFrog Red private label draft brew – and enjoy live music while
soaking up the distinct British-West-Indies-meets-Key-West ambiance.
·
Bonsai Sushi,
a full-service sushi restaurant offering delicious Asian-inspired
delicacies -- sushi, sashimi, rolls and more, along with popular beers
and cocktails from the region -- all enjoyed amidst a contemporary Far
East decor.
·
Cherry On Top, a “candy and more store” which celebrates the joys of simple
indulgences with bins of bulk candy, fun fanciful gifts and novelties, custom apparel and more.
·
Hasbro, The Game Show, where guests are part of the show through a series
of larger-than-life productions and entertainment activities based on the company’s iconic and popular games.
·
Playlist Productions,
which
builds upon Carnival’s reputation for high quality entertainment,
combining captivating live performances and high-tech special effects,
all set to popular and recognizable songs.
A
variety of additional enhancements, including upgraded swimming pools
and gym equipment, along with new carpeting, tile work and wall
coverings, were also completed during
the two-week-long dry dock.
Carnival
Legend will continue its current schedule of seven-day Caribbean
cruises from Tampa through Aug. 17, then embark on a 13-day Panama Canal
transit that ends in Long
Beach, Calif., Aug. 30, 2014. The ship will then sail a 23-day
trans-Pacific voyage departing Long Beach Aug. 30, and arriving in
Sydney, Sept. 22, 2014, positioning the vessel for a seasonal program of
eight- to 12-day cruises featuring destinations throughout
