This is DH and I's 4th Carnival Cruise, first time on the Magic out of Galveston. We also cruised with DH's mother, sister, and Aunt. DH's mother - this was her first time.
Embarkation was wonderful! Since DH's mother and Aunt were somewhat disabled (they are both close to 80), we have a tad bit of priority! After embarkation, immediately to Lido Market Place for lunch and our rooms were ready. Luggage arrived between 1:30 & 4pm. DH and I have an aft, 9481, and MIL, SIL and Aunt had a balcony 9461.
Ports of Call were Isle of Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel. DH and I took an excursion in Belize to see the Altum Hun and River Wallace. This was AMAZING! The ONLY gripe that I have is that the excursion was 6.5 hours and 4.5 of that was traveling. But we are glad we did it. Just shopping around in the other two ports.
