Our original plan was to bring my mum to Taiwan, while planning we worried it might be too much walking for her and thus we also look around for cruise trip. In the end, my mum decided not to join us on this trip. That was how we chanced upon the wonderful deal on Legend of the Seas.
Legend of the Seas was 20 years old, older than and almost half the capacity of Mariner of the Seas. We were a little worried that it might be very dated. Before booked, we did some research; as expected, there were quite a number of negative reviews but we had also read that the company had made some major overhaul in recent years. And so, our 11 days "Titanic" trip began.
