Carnival Galveston Cruise Reviews

This was my third cruise overall, second on Carnival. The Magic is very similar to the Conquest. The layout is basically the same...same lobby layout, same dining room locations, same comedy club location, same casino, etc. The differences were the serenity area and the pool area was a little different. Plus the decor was different (Conquest was actually nicer with the murals on the glass ...

Carnival Magic Dec 18, 2011 - Dec 26, 2011 Me and my wife went with 10 relatives Cabin 6491 aft over the Spotlight Lounge (deck 5) (wife review) We booked a family vacation on the Magic for Christmas. The first thing that struck me was how large the ship was. I have cruised on the Conquest and the Ecstasy before and this ship dwarfs them both. As we were boarding I experienced first hand ...

EMBARKATION We were on the ship and on the Lido deck within 15 minutes after entering the front door. The procedure with the ship and sail cards and taking of pictures is s very speedy process now. OVERALL SHIP The ship is beautiful and bright. The open deck areas are beautiful and designed for comfort. I must say we were disappointed that there was not an ADULT ONLY pool and THE SERENITY ...

This is my second cruise, both of which have been on Carnival. Not all things were perfect on this cruise, but a lot of fun was had. After seven days at sea and countless activities, I can't begin to detail everything here; however, I will provide the highs and lows of the trip. GREAT: The cove balcony cabins are excellent. The interior of the cabin is larger than average and well ...

I really enjoyed my six night cruise on the new Dream Class Carnival Magic. An improved version of the Carnival Dream which I sailed on in November of 2009. I give high ratings for a comfy balcony stateroom and very good food. I was able to dine in the main dinning room Northern Lights. All of the dinner appetizers and entrees were very good. I especially liked the lobster and the prime rib. ...

We are very experienced cruisers with many lines, and are platinum on Carnival. We booked the Magic inaugural knowing full well there are always kinks to work out on a new ship with many crew members new to the ship. The TransAtlantic crossing really shook her down, figuratively and literally. The ship is just amazing. Other than the continued poor Carnival design of the buffet with long ...

I was apprehensive taking this cruise as it was my first time on Carnival. My other cruises have been on Royal Carribean (out of Miami and Galveston), my husband has cruised before as well on 10+ cruises on multiple cruise lines. We chose Carnival this time because our son was going to be coming for the first time with us and had heard great things about Camp Carnival. After reading the ...

So this was our first cruise and going with a group of ten, I was skeptical on how smoothly things would run, but all I can say is that it was truly magical. Embarkation ran smoothly, for the most part. The ship was very big and spacious, although Lido deck did tend to get crowded during the day, you could easily avoid it at one of the many other locations on the ship. Travelling with ...

My wife and I sailed on the Magic out of Galveston to Key West and the Bahamas. Our stateroom was very comfortable and well kept up. We were booked on the 12th level spa deck in the front of the ship. Some movement was occasionally noticeable but not unpleasant. The location was just steps from the gym and spa. We spent time each day in the thermal suite, either on the heated chairs or in the ...

As first time cruisers the wife and I really enjoyed our 7 day cruise to the Bahamas. The Carnival Magic is a beautiful and very large boat. Embarkation was smooth and easy, we were on the boat within 20 minutes having my first drink at the atrium bar. The rooms weren't gonna be ready till 1:30 so we went up to the main deck to have some lunch at the buffet where they had plenty to choose from. ...
