My family of five will be staying in two rooms on the Carnival Legend.
My husband and I shared a windowless room with my children.
Our family was given more space and privacy when we stayed in separate cabins.
I booked a seven-day cruise on Carnival Legend for my family of five because I was looking for a break.
We have all stayed in the same hotel room. We all stayed in the same cabin.
I reserved two separate 185- square-foot staterooms on the Carnival Legend's Riviera deck for more privacy.
The cabin we were in had a king-sized bed.
The king was only two twin beds in total.
Each of us had a table with a lamp.
We turned off the main lights if one of us wanted to stay up a bit later.
There was an ocean-view stateroom for my three children.
My kids stayed in their own room because of the lack of connecting rooms.
There were three beds in the kids' room, two of which were twin beds.
There was enough room for them.
Natural light came in through the picture window.
The room had no windows or shade. I would reserve an ocean view room for the adults in the future.
There were no differences in the cabins' bathroom facilities.
There were a lot of shelves inside the bathroom.
Every day, the employees of the cruise cleaned the bathroom.
The Carnival Legend has a clean bathroom and fresh towels every day, even though many hotels have stopped cleaning.
The shower had dispensers for soap and water.
We had a retractable clothesline in our bathroom.
The shower's drainage system kept the floor dry even though there were three kids in the bathroom.
There was no water on the bathroom floor.
The space is 185 square feet and both rooms used it well.
We could store a week's worth of items with the help of the drawers, shelves, and hangers.
Two of the closets had hanging rods for dresses and coats, so we could put our suitcases in the bottom of the closet.
Our suitcases and clothes were neatly stowed.
Our room had a single outlet next to the desk.
My husband and I had to charge our devices at the same time.
One of our power strips was taken away.
I packed two power strips so I wouldn't have to use the outlet at the same time. The other was taken away.
Power strips without surge protectors are allowed, but they will be returned to the owner on the last day of the cruise.
The kids were able to bring their power strip into their cabin.
The small screen on the TV made it hard for my eyes to concentrate.
The small screen is not a big deal if you don't watch movies.
Our family likes to watch shows and by the end of the week, the tiny screen was straining my eyes.
Two bottles of wine and a few snacks were stored in a mini fridge inside a table.
It was not cold enough to chill drinks.
I don't think the rooms had thermostat.
The rooms had thermostats but they didn't seem to change the temperature.
The kids' space was too warm.
We decorated our staterooms for Christmas even though we were on a cruise.
Crew members were able to drop off their excursion tickets at the mailbox.
Booking two separate rooms is what I will do on future family trips.
Our cabins had a lot of storage options that made them feel larger.
I will consider booking separate rooms for adults and kids when we go on vacations.
