Eastern Caribbean Carnival Magic Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We took this cruise because of the Casino promotion made it a deal difficult to pass. We had no high expectations. We usually cruise with Royal Caribbean, and the only other Carnival cruise (the one that gave us the casino promotion) was horrible. But actually it was an awesome cruise! Entertainment was fantastic - much better than on RC Adventure of the seas or NCL Escape. And the Magic is ...

I told my wife it was as if Carnival pulled the ship up to Walmart, lowered the gangway and shouted " Ok, get on." This is my ninth cruise, the second with my wife and the first with my twin, 12 yr old girls. We left out of NYC. I have never seen a more crowded ship in my entire life. I have no idea how Carnival can expect to accommodate 3200 guests in just two very small pools, pools no ...

Sailed on what was two prior Covid cancellations. I have platinum status with Carnival and NCL. Compensation for the cancelled Carnival cruises was very good onboard credits with optional free beverage packages. Embarkation was a nightmare even with people coming at their appointment time. Lines went from outdoors to inside, back outside, before you were anywhere near Screening. Carnival ...

We booked this cruise last minute, due to airline cancellations I did not want to risk leaving out of Florida and having our flight cancelled. Our time that we selected for the medical review was not honored, so we had to wait in line to get processed while at the pier. It was not that bad waiting. We got an inside aft cabin due to last minute booking, we brought a nightlight so it was not that ...

My husband and I cruised on Magic from NYC on 7/18/2022. We were happy that everything about this cruise was great! Embarkation was easy and on time, food in all the venues was good, crew absolutely outstanding! Ryan Rose is one of the best CDs we have sailed with - how he keeps that energy level up is a complete mystery. Staff kept the ship spotless - always cleaning, wiping windows, etc. We ...

We chose this cruise as a way to honeymoon without flying as we live close to the port. The price at the time was around $600 per person in an aft-view cabin, which was a good deal for us. However, knowing what we know now, we would have probably paid extra to some other cruise. Good: entertainment, most of the service, main and specialty dining food quality, drink quality, Grand Turk, and ...

We initially chose this cruise based on the number of sea days (four) and ports we hadn't cruised to before (Amber Cove, Grand Turk & Half Moon Cay). We were warned about cruising on Carnival out of New York due to the crowds, etc., and failed to heed the warning. Our worst cruise so far and we most likely won't sail Carnival again, especially out of New York for a number of reasons. ...

I've only cruised with Norwegian and wanted to try another line. I booked a premium balcony suite which is an aft corner cabin. Supposed to be a wrap around balcony. A bigger balcony. Decent balcony, small room. We arrived to our room and my partner asked if I smelled something. I didn't. I was outside mostly as we waited for our luggage. It arrived and we went for drinks and then to our ...

This was our first cruise in over 3 years. The price point was great but the cruise had its ups and downs. We have cruised from NYC before and the terminal and parking are horrible. As we arrived for our scheduled time, we were directed outside the terminal where we waited in an endless line for well over an hour, then in several more lines once we got in the terminal. There was no social ...

We have cruised on Carnival 2x previously, as well as Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. Previously, Carnival really did meet the term "Fun Ships", as there were a lot of outdoor activities around the pools during the day and a lot of varied activities inside at night. We chose this ship due to the timing of our vacation this year as we really had limited weeks we could go as a family, so this fit the ...
