I read several reviews that mentioned this was a good option for a first time cruiser so we decided to try it out for our 25th anniversary. I brought a sign to decorate my door but it did not stick to the door so it appears they are not metal and I would suggest an adhesive hook for anyone considering door decorations. We were fortunate that our room was kind of in a corner so we didn't have ...
My husband and I chose this cruise since we can easily get a ride to the port. We wanted a break from winter. Neighbors joined us, making our party two couples 57-61 years old. We each had an ocean balcony.
PROS: As mentioned, convenience to port. Plenty of shelving around bathroom sink (6 shelves for all of the meds, makeup, toiletries etc.). Plenty of closet space between 3 closets. ...
Loved the smaller ship the Elation. Wasn’t. Crowded at all and hardly any lines for food etc and was told it was at capacity. Perfect time of year also because children are in school. Jacksonville port was smaller and easy to navigate and you park right beside the ship. Half Moon Cay was the first stop and was the perfect low key beach day. Nassau was the second stop and was nice to see and had ...
This was my first time on a cruise ship and my overall experience was positive. Cruise ships in general are a modern marvel. I couldn't help but smile as I boarded the massive floating city.
While I was both impressed and intrigued by the size and scope of the ship. I did suspect it was nearing the end of it's use. Some areas of the ship seemed a little worse for wear. The carpet in the ...
Amazing! This cruise was so good. The decoration was so unique Alice & Wonderland themed. The food was TO DIE FOR ! The entertainment was amazing. Wow. The workers were the best people ever. Amazing time. Go to all the activities and shows. They’re all so good
Definitely go to the dining room every night and for brunch. Also spend the extra and go to Nic & Nora’s- best steak and sides I’ve ...
My first time on a cruise and I picked Carnival legend. Had a balcony room. Paid for the cheers package wifi and gratuities all ahead of time. Just wanted to have a great vacation. I did have a great time. Enjoyed my “kiss on the lips” drinks at the bars. Was a regular on the second floor. Next time will just pay for my drinks not the package. I don’t drink that much. Entertainment was alright. ...
The ship itself was very nice, clean. The cruise on the other hand was a bit rocking heading to Cozumel. Which is why, I will say the service and food was a bit off from the usual, per previous sailings with Carnival. The dinner, even sea day brunch just eh this time around. The cabin, was an ocean suite and it was very nice and roomy. My wife and I enjoyed the closet space and she loved the tub. ...
First time ever on Carnival. Been on RCCL 5 times over 24 years. The Magic has the best food not only in the dining room, but with Guy Fieri's Pig & Anchor BBQ and Emeril's signature dishes on every night's main dining room menu, this is the ship to eat!!! I never usually order 2 appetizers or entrees, but I did on this ship. Absolutely YUMMY!
Entertainment was also top notch in the theater. ...
It is always good to be a sea. Here are a few things I wish I knew on this cruise.
PARKING. Its been a few years (and maybe 40 cruises ago) we sailed out of Tampa. Thankfully we were close enough to drive. Frankly it is a bit confusing because the lots near the ship are not ship parking, they are for the aquarium. Do not attempt to park near the ship. The ship parking is a 4 story ...
I chose this weekend get away because that's what it was ... a weekend get away with a close dear friend. Embarkation at the new terminal was a breeze. From the time we entered the terminal to walking on board was maybe 15 minutes tops. We did the muster station and that took 3-4 minutes and then we were having lunch. I don't do buffets on any ships for personal reasons so lunch was at Blue ...
