Activities & Amenities 

When it comes to activities onboard, Legend of the Seas by Royal Caribbean delivers fun at every turn with a host of headline attractions, guaranteed to excite and entertain. Thrill-seekers can race down the slides at Category 6, the largest water park at sea, try out their surfing skills on the FlowRider® simulator, or scale the ship's rock-climbing wall, Adrenaline Peak, and take in some incredible ocean views. For another exhilaration hit, head for the incredible Crown’s Edge, a part-skywalk, part-zipline experience high above the ocean! 

Families with younger kids will love Splashaway Bay aqua park, mini-golf, laser tag, and the charming carousel, while guests of all ages can glide across the ice-skating rink or cool down and unwind in one of the ship’s seven pools and ten whirlpools. Younger cruisers are also well catered for with dedicated kids' and teen programmes packed with fun activities and new friendships.  

And while the kids are occupied, the grown-ups can sneak off to the signature Swim & Tonic swim-up bar, where you can sip cocktails without leaving the water. There’s also the gorgeous adults-only Hideaway, complete with a stunning infinity pool suspended high above the ocean for unbeatable sea views and one of the most romantic settings at sea. 

Dining & Drinking 

Eating out while on board Legend of the Seas is a culinary adventure, with an amazing range of options available all day long. Indulge in a delicious three-course dinner each evening in the main Dining Room, explore two all-you-can-eat buffets, or grab a quick bite from one of seven casual food spots throughout the ship. 

The innovative AquaDome Market serves up six unique food stands, offering a range of tantalising flavours from around the globe, including Korean, Mexican, and Spanish fare. There’s also a new juice and smoothie bar, Simply Pressed, and you can find delectable soft-serve ice cream flowing all day long at Sprinkles. If you’re craving a late-night snack, you can nip to Sorrento’s for freshly made pizzas or make a stop at Pearl Café for 24/7 coffee and light bites whenever hunger strikes. 

The Hollywood Supper Club brings the glamour of the Golden Age to life with live jazz, handcrafted cocktails, gourmet bites, and an elegant multi-course dinner. Throughout the evening, guests are taken on a journey through classic Hollywood cinema, spanning the silent-film era of the 1910s to the golden decades of the 1950s. 

For us, the most exciting and unique dining experience on board is the Royal Railway – Legend Station. This brand-new restaurant has been designed to make guests feel like they’ve boarded a luxury train on a journey along the historic Silk Route. With state-of-the-art technology, including synchronised sound and visual effects, themed décor and vibrant storytelling, a dinner here will be as immersive as it is delicious! 

Entertainment & Fun 

The entertainment on board Legend of the Seas is nothing short of spectacular, with world-class performances and unforgettable experiences every day. The whole family will be captivated by the magic of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, cheering on the fantastic performers at America’s Got Talent LIVE, and marvelling at awesome productions in the AquaTheater. 

Music lovers can enjoy live performances in eight different venues across the ship, including the open-air Central Park, which is lined with more than 30,500 real plants, while those looking to celebrate can choose from more than 10 ways to party day and night. From interactive trivia sessions and lively game shows to dazzling stage productions and vibrant nightlife, there’s always something exciting happening on board! 

Accommodation 

With one of the widest ranges of cabin options in Royal Caribbean’s fleet, Legend of the Seas features everything from budget-friendly Interior Cabins to luxury stays in Ocean View and Balcony staterooms. Families looking for an extravagant place to rest their heads need look no further than the Ultimate Family Townhouse, a huge suite designed specifically for families that gained worldwide attention when it debuted on Icon of the Seas. 

Spanning three levels, this extraordinary accommodation makes for unforgettable family adventures at sea.
