Legend is essentially a floating resort rather than a traditional cruise ship. The ship is divided into eight neighborhoods:

AquaDome • Central Park • Thrill Island • Chill Island • Surfside • Royal Promenade • The Hideaway • Suite Neighborhood.

For a family or homeschool group, there is enough onboard that you could realistically schedule an entire sea day without spending anything beyond the cruise fare.

This is one of the headline attractions.

Royal Caribbean calls Category 6 the largest waterpark at sea. It has six major waterslides, including raft rides, racing slides, drops, zero-gravity sections and 360-degree turns.

💲 No extra fee.

That is significant because some cruise lines charge for their biggest attractions; Royal Caribbean includes Category 6 in the cruise fare.

Guests can try surfing or boogie boarding on Royal Caribbean's artificial wave.

Regular FlowRider use: INCLUDED

Private lessons/instruction may carry an 💲 EXTRA FEE.

The ship's rock-climbing attraction.

It includes different climbing routes/racing opportunities.

💲 No extra fee.

A themed miniature golf course located in the Thrill Island area.

💲 No extra fee.

This is one of the wildest attractions.

Guests are harnessed into an aerial obstacle course 154 feet above the ocean. Part of the experience extends over the side of the ship.

This is one of the notable attractions you should NOT advertise as included.

💲 EXTRA FEE

There are also various organized sports, competitions and scheduled activities throughout a sailing. Exact programming changes by cruise.

Legend has 7 pools and 10 whirlpools.

Royal Caribbean's enormous main resort-style pool.

Pool with a large swim-up bar.

Swimming/use of the pool is included.

This is especially convenient for parents with younger kids because much of Surfside is designed so parents can relax while children play nearby.

Another elevated pool/sun area.

The Hideaway is an adults-only neighborhood with a suspended infinity-style pool and ocean views.

Think beach-club atmosphere rather than traditional cruise pool.

Private pool/sundeck area associated with the Suite Neighborhood.

Not available to regular cabin guests.

Children's water playground with:

• Smaller waterslides
• Water cannons

💲 No extra fee.

Surfside is one of the reasons I think Legend is particularly strong for a homeschool-family cruise.

It is essentially an entire neighborhood built around families with younger children.

You'll find:

Splashaway Bay

Water's Edge pool

Playscape

Surfside Eatery

Surfside Bites

The Lemon Post

and family entertainment.

Legend has a new family carousel-style attraction in Surfside. Royal Caribbean specifically describes the new Rubber-Duckie-Go-Round as part of Legend's family offerings.

Large children's climbing/exploration/play area.

It gives kids something to do beyond swimming.

Royal Caribbean's supervised youth program is Adventure Ocean.

Royal Caribbean specifically lists complimentary kids programming for ages 3–17 among Legend's included offerings.

Programs are divided by age and include things such as games, art, science activities, group challenges, imaginative play and organized activities.

This means parents can actually drop eligible children off and go do adult activities.

Some late-night childcare/programming or certain nursery services can have a 💲 EXTRA FEE.

Royal Caribbean provides dedicated programming/spaces for very young children.

Nursery care is different from regular Adventure Ocean.

Teens have their own social spaces rather than being put into the younger children's club.

Programming generally includes:

• Games

• Parties
• Gaming
• Social activities
• Teen-only hangouts
• Silent discos

💲 No extra fee for normal teen programming.

Legend has escape-room-style experiences, including experiences such as Prohibition Break and Sugar Fix listed in Royal Caribbean's onboard programming.

💲 EXTRA FEE may apply to dedicated Royal Escape Room experiences.

This is one area where I would check the Cruise Planner for the particular sailing before promising a specific game or price because programming can change.

Royal Caribbean describes it as the largest ice-skating arena at sea.

There are professional ice productions with:

with five Got Talent performers featured in a show.
