That never happened when we were sailing out of Tampa

Things are different now that Carnival Legend is sailing in the South Pacific rather than the western Caribbean. For example, last Friday, when Carnival Legend called at Lifou, New Caledonia, the ship’s officers were invited to attend the coronation of the island's new chief. It’s an event that only occurs every 25-30 years, so Carnival Legend was in port on just the right day. It was a day of celebration with dancing and a traditional lunch, hosted by the newly ascended Grand Chief and his leaders. The officers who attended, led by the staff captain, enjoyed a day of celebration with dancing and a traditional lunch, which was hosted by the newly ascended Grand Chief and his leaders.
