There are so many wonderful things to share from my Carnival Cruise to Alaska<\/a>. I could go on about this trip forever. Here are some of my very favorite moments…<\/p>\n

\"FFC_Post9_IMG1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is so much to do on (and off) a cruise, something for everyone! On sea days I hung out on my balcony & the ship decks gazing upon all the natural beauty. There was lots of epic views, breathtaking snow peaks everywhere. When the weather was warm enough I did walking laps around the upper deck for exercise. When it was blustery outside, I enjoyed the fitness center at the front of the ship.<\/p>\n

All of those great views & exercise made me super hungry for all the amazing bites on board the Legend!<\/p>\n

I spent a great amount of time at the Serenity Adult Only Retreat<\/a>. A quiet place aft on the ship to curl up, enjoy a good book and great cocktail.<\/p>\n

\"FFC_Post9_IMG2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For a more wild time & something the kids on board LOVED was this slide…<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of this cruise was Glacier Bay, Alaska. All the guests lined the decks to take in the astounding glacier, leaping whales & crisp air. A naturalist detailed everything for us over the loud speaker. It was awesome! As you can imagine I took loads of pictures. These are some of my favorites…<\/p>\n

\"FFC_Post9_IMG4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Viewing day was perfectly sunny and the air was cool & refreshing.<\/p>\n

\"FFC_Post9_IMG5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Truly a once in a lifetime experience. I spoke with many guests who had waited their entire lives to see these glaciers. Their smiles & excitement was huge!<\/p>\n

The Food…<\/p>\n

I indulged on delish food & drink while on board the ship. One of my favorite meals was the Brunch at Sea where I always treat myself to a bagel with lox & cream cheese. It was hard to choose though, the entire menu is so tempting! One of my other favorites includes the Huevos Rancheros.<\/p>\n

I also attended a Chef’s Table<\/a> Dinner which was a multi course meal filled with brilliantly prepared bites by one of the ships Master Chefs. You do need to sign up ahead for this dinner and pay a $75 fee for this special, unforgettable event. The experience is so worth it! Be sure to reserve your spot as only 14 guests can enjoy this dinner.<\/p>\n

We were greeted with champagne & appetizers in the kitchen galley. We also had a galley tour and met the expert kitchen staff. I had also experienced this dinner on the Carnival Cruise to Mexico<\/a> last year. It’s a dinner I can’t miss out on! Check out those pictures.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"FFC_Post9_IMG8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite place to dine on the ship is the Steakhouse<\/a>, I went there 3 times!<\/p>\n

\"FFC_Post9_IMG9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who could resist this fresh tomato salad?<\/p>\n

\"FFC_Post9_IMG10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All balanced out with a prime juicy filet mignon!<\/p>\n
