Bahamas Carnival Magic Bahamas Cruise Reviews

The ship was a bit dated and in big need of painting and refurbishing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was very good. The shows were lacking for sure. They had a great band Lady and the Vamps in the Ocean Plaza and a few other great musicians but that was about it. No productions or dancing. I’m just giving you the honest opinion. A few tips were added on our receipts as ...

I selected this cruise because my wife was interested in the Carnival Magic and we both also had never been to Amber Cove. We opted in for a balcony room since it wasn’t much much more than the ocean view in pricing. We were on the 9th floor right by the elevators and the lido deck was on the 10th floor. I felt like every child in America was on this ship ! They were constantly running in the ...

I went on this cruise because someone had booked it and wanted a cabin mate. The employees are great and work hard. We had Efrem in the cabin and Jimmy in the Dining room Boarding was fun with about 20 employees dressed as characters greeting and high fiving everyone with upbeat music to welcome everyone. Carnival cabins are nice because they are large with plenty of space for your ...

Carnival Magic was pretty good, I'd give it a B+. We, as a party of 5 (my husband, my brother and his two kids aged 12 and 15) sailed her out of Norfolk to the Bahamas for a six night cruise. It was well-priced and easy enough to get to. Embarkation took about 45 minutes to an hour, from parking the car to shuttling to the terminal and checking in. There was a long line once parked to load the ...

We, as newly weds, went on this cruise for our honeymoon. The captain did a good job dodging most of the storms in the area which I'm very thankful of. Cabin was standard ocean view with a pretty good attendant in Gede. Food service was attentive albeit very slow. I'm told by some of my fellow travelers that they were going and hour without even being acknowledged. I'm also not a fan of the ...

We chose this cruise because of dates, location, and itinerary. The Carnival Magic appeared very run down. Lots of rust and flaking paint. Our cabin with balcony was fine. Lido deck was fine. The main issue is Carnival taking the "magic" out of the dining room experience at night. We have cruised over 25 years and have seen a steady decline in that experience. Tablecloths and multiple ...

We did a back-to-back on this ship for the itinerary, southern Caribbean. Number one this ship is definitely showing it's age. Rust all over the place, seating in the buffet needs replacing, and doors not shutting correctly or broken. We had a cove balcony which we normally love, but on this cruise, they decided to paint the lifeboat stanchions and we had paint chips raining down on us, and ...

We love cruising with Carnival, unfortunately, staffing shortages were quite evident. Food was still good in the dining room, and the smokehouse was delicious. The pizza is not what it was before. We often waited 20 minutes for a drink, even a simple beer. The dining room also seemed short-staffed, we often did not get water refilled, and one night we were there for 2 hours for dinner. The ...

We live close to the port and have sailed with Carnival several times so when we got a discount offer we decided to take the 6 day cruise. First impressions were that the ship a little dated and not in the best of shape. The crew was very good but 2 areas were a big disappointment. First, the entertainment was terrible. Every night in the theater the same entertainers sung their unfamiliar songs ...

Background Information This was my 1st Carnival cruise (27th overall for me) and my husband's 2nd Carnival cruise having previously sailed on Conquest. We booked this cruise in Oct 2020 so we'd had a long 770 day countdown! Besides me checking off Carnival as another line sailed, the main reason for booking this cruise was for me to finally get to experience Half Moon Cay. Travel to ...
