Star Legend

outstanding cruise

August

Pros: personal attention

Cons: none

Recommended: Yes

Our cabin was spacious and well appointed. Cabin attendants were always available Ram and Wawan did an outstanding job. The shore trips were varied and all offered the Alaska experience for which we signed up. Guides were knowledgeable. Particularly liked the seaplane trip to Taku lodge, and zodiac tours. Seeing wildlife and hearing about them from enthusiastic guides was a plus. Going ashore in the small villages was enjoyble.

Host Review - June 6 Alaska Expedition

June

Pros: Itinerary w/ Expedition opportunities, beautiful weather, casual

Cons: Limited on-board technology, in room dining OK, ship to be renovated/stretched

Recommended: No

Expedition Team is a must for any trip to Alaska. Ship about to be fully renovated, all guests seem happy and very loyal to Windstar

Small ship experience

May

Pros: The Expedition Team gives you the advantage to zodiac and kayak right off the ship from the watersports platform

Cons: none

Recommended: Yes

We prefer small ships (the Legend has only 210 passengers) for the more intimate experience this type of sailing provides. Everything on the Legend was perfect - the food, the staff, and the suites - every room is 288 sq ft. with a HUGE picture window.

Awesome

Land of the midnight sun

June

Pros: Nicely laid out, emaculate room with great meals, exceptional staff.

Cons: Limited wine selection.

Recommended: Yes

The best cruise we have experienced.

A very good experience for first time small ship crusing

August

Pros: Yacht sized ship, less than 200 guests, excellent guest to crew ratio, great food including several dining options and a great pool deck BBQ, wonderful all-suite stateroom accommodations, open bridge policy

Cons: Ship is a bit dated, and a little rough around the edges, evening entertainment options extremely limited including in suite television channel selection

Recommended: Yes

Outstanding crew, friendly and accommodating at all times. Excellent food and service in all dining venues. Open bridge policy is an added treat. Take note that shore excursion pricing is outrageously expensive. We booked independently and had terrific tours at reasonable pricing. There is no swimming pool, only hot tubs on decks 5 and 7. This ship is a former Seabourn yacht, rebranded as the Windstar Legend, and launched only several months before my trip. The ship still needs some sprucing up here and there, but all in all the renovation is lovely, with an understated decor (translate: not cruise ship "gaudy") in earth tones in the suites and pubic spaces.

a cruise to remember

July

Pros: crew was friendly and helpful, food was delicious, rooms were a good size, entertainment was fun

Cons: the weather which cannot be controlled!

Recommended: Yes

This was our first cruise on Windstar and we would definitely sail with them again -- we liked the smaller size of the ship and the accommodations were wonderful -- would like to try the one with the sails next.

Windstar Legend. Scotland and Ireland.

July

Pros: Very nice staterooms, good itinerary

Cons: No activities on the ship

Recommended: No

The food is fine, not great. Needs lectures and more activities for days at sea and long afternoons when ship sails early. The help is very good.
