I'm not really sure either. I could be wrong, but I believe Arwen (who was actually 3/4 elven) could have chosen to go with the elven ships, but she would have to leave her husband to do so, and his job as king was just beginning as the ships were leaving. Gimli was allowed because of his friendship with Galadriel not Legolas. It seems there was special permission obtained in his case. So,I guess, I don't really have any answers for you.
