Something I've noticed about Spirit class ships in general is that they tend to keep some of the traditional stuff when the rest of the fleet has done away with it. The Spirit to Alaska had table cloths every night in the MDR, for example.
In Tampa, at least for the Pride, but probably all the Spirit Class ships, but they were designed around the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. I think they said there was about 20ft of clearance under the bridge.
True! For a $6,000+ bucket list cruise, we were a little downtrodden with how everything turned out, though we obviously prefer safety over anything else!! :P
I can't believe it! We got off The Legend in Baltimore and you were getting on it - Sept.2, 2023. Our cruise didn't work out the way we planned. We were suppose to go to Bermuda, but went to Bahamas. So close to running into you. Love you all!
I was on that same sailing! The rocking on the night before disembarkment woke me up at 4:30 in the morning! I went and got coffee played in the casino and banked $500! Was a good morning.
So glad we got to hang out and talk with y’all some. Have y’all tried the Apple desert in the steak house, it’s delicious. I used to be a cheesecake person until I tried the Apple desert. Yum Yum🍏🍎
The water lol yeah no joke! My second cruise I was making sure to drink more water but it was from the machines and my ankles swelled up so much by the 3rd day yikes! So annoying bc I had the drinks package and could have gotten all the bottled water I wanted! lol next time 🧐
We were right above you, well almost. 6218. Hope your A/C worked better than ours. lol I really hope they do some updates on the balcony doors. Ours was a hot mess too. Had to slam it shut and it still didn't close right.
Missed you on formal night, we were there too. lol you went up to 10 like we do. Not sure how folks don't know you can do that and not walk up that staircase. Eeeccckkkk.
Those ships in the Bay near Annapolis and the Bay Bridge are waiting to unload at the Port of Baltimore. The Port of Baltimore has increased their cargo business over the past few years. Also, NCL is now sailing out of Baltimore (in addition to Carnival and Royal Caribbean).
Yesssss, we did that on Princess which was awesome, though the captain decided that we needed to hear the "Love Boat" horn a hundred times, ha ha... :P
Hi Jay and Dee! I've been watching your videos on our TV on You Tube and I just LOVE them❤🎉!!!!! You two are fabulous!!!!! My husband and I are both Platinum and my husband will turn Diamond beginning of November! We're going on the Carnival Venezia Oct 28- Nov 30. It would be great if you were both in that trip and to meet you both!!!!! ❤🎉 I love your socks Jay 😊!! Dee your photos are so wonderful 🎉! How do I get a job like yours!
How long after you left port did you go under the 2nd bridge? We are sailing out at 5PM in december and I'm assuming it will be dark but I am hoping to catch a glimpse of it because that's the bridge we cross on the way to beach every summer. Thanks!
According to the timestamps on my video files, we passed under the Key Bridge about 35 minutes after leaving the pier, and the second bridge about 1 hour 45 minutes after leaving the pier.
We were scheduled to leave out of Baltimore on the Sept 23rd on Royal. Vision. They canceled the entire cruise. At least I have your videos to keep me going. Don't think hubby wants to plan another :(
We don't recall Ricky & Laura being booked on this cruise, but there were a handful of vloggers booked at one point. They all changed their minds though!! :P ~Jay
Love the Spirit Class ship layout have not been on Legend looks very nice from your video. The only time we had tough lobster was in the MDR not the steakhouse. Looks like no bread bowl either. Is Wagyu still off the menu? It was my favorite.
Hey my favorites I believe that I was on the Liberty of the Seas at the same time you guys were on the legend dodging and ducking the storm let us know when you're using the new GoPro thanks
I know 8 days plus are free of the dregs of society on Carnival, but I love older ships, especially older Princess ships that have wrap around decks and a lot of activities on board. Also I like a ship that feels like a ship, and not your local mall.
I keep only seeing the lack of things even on day one, compared to other cruiselines they are very old and not like up to scale for what you pay for it seems
Totally not true! Just sailed on this ship in July with 2 teenagers and we all had a blast! We were always busy, and some days were not able to get everything done!
@@patriciasnead9254 not speaking of entertainment speaking of the state of the ship, lake of details to things like having a full soft serve machine on day one etc
This was promoted as a "bucket list" cruise and the minimum cabin rate that we saw to get onboard was $6,000 unless you were a casino player, which we sadly aren't with Carnival! We paid the big bucks indeed. Yow!!
Very humbling watching the Legend pass under the Francis Key Scott Bridge! 🥲
I was hoping Dee would burst into a chorus of Good Morning, Baltimore when you looked out upon the skyline!
Something I've noticed about Spirit class ships in general is that they tend to keep some of the traditional stuff when the rest of the fleet has done away with it. The Spirit to Alaska had table cloths every night in the MDR, for example.
My biggest takeaway from this vlog is that this ship needs a full renovation ASAP. Or the scrapyard.
Just from the balcony door? The main parts of the ship look pretty awesome to me.
The ship is really in good shape! I don't know why they didn't do a better job repairing that door!
In Tampa, at least for the Pride, but probably all the Spirit Class ships, but they were designed around the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. I think they said there was about 20ft of clearance under the bridge.
I was disappointed when the ship sold out and I was unable to book it. Considering, how the sailing turned out glad I was unable to book it. 👍
True! For a $6,000+ bucket list cruise, we were a little downtrodden with how everything turned out, though we obviously prefer safety over anything else!! :P
Nice shot of going under the Key bridge. 🥹. Looking forward to doing a Journeys cruise someday.
Yes, that was our last crossing under the Key Bridge. Crazy!!
You need to add the Sydney harbour bridge to your sailing under bridges list.
And the Dames Point Bridge in Jacksonville, FL! ;)
My boyfriend, daughter and I just booked a cruise on this ship for March 2024. Can't wait!
It is really cool when you are driving over the Bay Bridge and you see a cruise ship sailing underneath!
We just booked the CCL Legend for the Jan. 31, 13 day Partial Panama in 2027. 🛳️🏖️🌴🏝️😎 always enjoy your informative videos! 🇨🇦
I can't believe it! We got off The Legend in Baltimore and you were getting on it - Sept.2, 2023. Our cruise didn't work out the way we planned. We were suppose to go to Bermuda, but went to Bahamas. So close to running into you. Love you all!

My favorite bridge to go under is the Golden Gate but do love the one out of New York City. Love your vlogs. Thanks for all the work you put in
Welcome to the Carnival 😂😂😂 Classic
My friends were on that cruise
So glad we got to hang out and talk with y’all some. Have y’all tried the Apple desert in the steak house, it’s delicious. I used to be a cheesecake person until I tried the Apple desert. Yum Yum🍏🍎
I'm doing what Jay says getting the cheese cake that's for sure.
The water lol yeah no joke! My second cruise I was making sure to drink more water but it was from the machines and my ankles swelled up so much by the 3rd day yikes! So annoying bc I had the drinks package and could have gotten all the bottled water I wanted! lol next time 🧐
We sailed in April, first time from Baltimore. We really like this ship.
I will say it was very exciting getting to meet you guys and hang out a few times!
We were right above you, well almost. 6218. Hope your A/C worked better than ours. lol I really hope they do some updates on the balcony doors. Ours was a hot mess too. Had to slam it shut and it still didn't close right.
Cant wait to watch this series and see you explore Newfoundland!
Saw you guys right after the Captain's toast. Thought I heard my wife's whistling in the background. Looking forward to your sharing more.
Going on legend 12/3 Baltimore, Bahamas, new food menu 😊
Missed you on formal night, we were there too. lol you went up to 10 like we do. Not sure how folks don't know you can do that and not walk up that staircase. Eeeccckkkk.
Nice video. We were on in July. I hope you enjoyed the shows, my son is one of the singers. Dillon. Take care.
It was nice running into you guys at that fake Viking village across the street from the actual site.

I personally would say it’s pretty impressive to go under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on a cruise ship. But that could be just be me.
Yesssss, we did that on Princess which was awesome, though the captain decided that we needed to hear the "Love Boat" horn a hundred times, ha ha... :P
We were on the Miracle in July 5, 2022 to Alaska and it was quite thrilling to sail under the Golden Gate
Ooooo, I am booked on the Legend in cabin 5123 (but not until she sails from San Francisco in 2025).
Love the shirt!
I just had a wild thought. What if there were ramps rather than stairs. Now even wheelchairs can move up and down easier.😮
We had a 1 PM embarkation time and didn't get the famous "Show up an hour late" email. We got to the port at 12:30 and got right on the ship!
Between 10:33 and 11:22 the bridge you went under just collapsed.

Jacksonville (Carnival Elation) is a pretty tight fit under the bridge.
Yes it is
I had planned on going on this one. I decided to hold off til Jan 2024 and do another Journeys cruise in the Southern Caribbean instead.

I hope you got to see Roy while in Baltimore.
Hey jay, those are shipping containers ships waiting to get into the port of Baltimore
I thought that Ricky and Laura were going to join you, and also a bunch of your cruise friends.
We don't recall Ricky & Laura being booked on this cruise, but there were a handful of vloggers booked at one point. They all changed their minds though!! :P ~Jay
I guess that I was mistaken. Sorry
@@parodeejay
So do they have sea day brunch on all 5 sea days?
No, they seem to pick and choose. Some sea days, you end up with breakfast and possibly a separate lunch service in the MDR.
You should get the loyalty gifts and do giveaways!
We did that a while back, hah... livestream giveaways, which was fun!! :P
Love the Spirit Class ship layout have not been on Legend looks very nice from your video.
The only time we had tough lobster was in the MDR not the steakhouse.
Looks like no bread bowl either.
Is Wagyu still off the menu? It was my favorite.
Hey my favorites I believe that I was on the Liberty of the Seas at the same time you guys were on the legend dodging and ducking the storm let us know when you're using the new GoPro thanks

Thanks for the video. We are sailing the Spirit out of Mobile next month. How do the ships compare?
How long after sail away till the ship goes under the bridge?
Who’s your cruise director
Cam Chavis.
I keep only seeing the lack of things even on day one, compared to other cruiselines they are very old and not like up to scale for what you pay for it seems

@@patriciasnead9254 not speaking of entertainment speaking of the state of the ship, lake of details to things like having a full soft serve machine on day one etc
Off subject, but how many minutes does it take to get to the bridge when you sail out of Tampa?
About 2 hours after sail away
I hope they don’t ask you as much as for new ships because she clearly needs to be updated
This was promoted as a "bucket list" cruise and the minimum cabin rate that we saw to get onboard was $6,000 unless you were a casino player, which we sadly aren't with Carnival! We paid the big bucks indeed. Yow!!
@@parodeejay oh no, I hope the itinerary is amazing for that amount of dollars
Sadly, the hurricanes had other ideas, as we'll show in the next few episodes!! :P
Agree. I cruise on legend to Bermuda but I can't deal with that room and bathroom for 2 weeks for Greenland
I am so confused by the theme and decor of that ship. It seems so over-the-top.
I would NOT be getting a spa pass if the gym overlooks the thelosotherapy pool. That seems like a major design flaw.
Did that door issue affect your ac?
Fortunately not. Poor old door, it’s been through a lot over the years apparently!! :P
