Legend of the Seas arrived in Fort Lauderdale over the weekend and sailed straight out on a three-night Bahamas getaway. Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11, she gets her name in a formal ceremony at Port Everglades, with retired General Lori J. Robinson, her godmother, doing the honors on Veterans Day.
Legend is the third Icon Class ship and the first to homeport at Port Everglades. From here she settles into six-night Western Caribbean and eight-night Southern Caribbean sailings, and every one of them calls at Perfect Day at CocoCay. Her first Southern Caribbean sailing departs November 14.
What it means for your sailing: if you are booked on Legend out of Fort Lauderdale, nothing about your sailing changes, but the naming ceremony marks the start of her regular season. The six-night Western Caribbean sailings visit CocoCay and Western Caribbean ports, while the eight-night Southern Caribbean sailings add Aruba and Curacao. Guests sailing this week are on board as she begins her year-round Fort Lauderdale program.
