Carnival Magic Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Eastern Caribbean

We chose this cruise to sail with family. That was really the only good point. We are gold members and it's either our 7 or 8th cruise. Never able to get a deck chair. The entire ship is beat up and dated. The food was horribly disappointing. The entertainment was so very limited and just not up to carnivals usual standards. We paid for the Italian restaurant and the service was phenomenal. The ...

I cruise multiple times out of the year and this cruise by far was the creepiest, weird and disappointing. Here's my reasoning behind why we felt this way. Cons: 1. One of our port days was canceled which was Turks. We got a refund for $16...really. 2. Right before two of the major shows were canceled back to back we heard an announcement of an emergency, no follow up. If it's not for the ...

I've been sailing with Carnival for over 10 years now, and I never have been on a ship this ill-prepared to handle its passengers. The ship was over-capacity, as it was a Christmas cruise. When sailing during breaks, I expect the ship to be at capacity. What I didn't expect was the absolute sheer number of families, and a ship with not enough staff to accommodate them all. First off, there were ...

I have been on several cruises and I’m so disappointed that I will never cruise on carnival or maybe ever again. No I’m not a Karen and I’ve not complained because if you complain… you’re a Karen right? This is my interpretation of this cruise specifically. 1- staterooms - my interior room was bigger than others I’ve cruised with. Kinda gross in carpet stains. Room doesn’t get clean bc I ...

We left out of Norfolk because it was convenient. Carnival was the only option leaving this port and this was my 4th cruise with Carnival. This cruise also had good ports of call. Embarkation was good. Excursions surpassed ship experiences. Food was poor. Service was ok. Cruise director was invisible. Teenagers were not as bad as others described but we were on a longer cruise. It was just meh. ...

Wanted a cruise out of Norfolk. Getting on the ship no problem. We are platum so we have priority boarding. The room was to be ready. NOT. Went for muster drill, they scanned our card and said we were free to go. It was very crowded. However in the buffet area workers would stand in groups of three and played on their phone. They were also flirting with the customers. Paid for internet, it was ...

Port Canaveral Embarkation. Problem with gangways led to delayed boarding with lots of people standing in the Port Canaveral rain waiting to be checked in because everything was backed up. Thanks to delayed boarding, cabin access was immediate. Cabin was typical interior and quite serviceable. Steward introduced himself and asked what time we wanted our cabin cleaned and if we had any special ...

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 ...

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 ...

We chose this cruise to celebrate my husbands birthday. First time allowing them to assign a room later. NEVER AGAIN!!! When we entered the room we were greeted by gnats - who brought their friends along and stayed with us the entire trip. The room had a damp smell that never went away. The first night I was awakened abt 2 am or so by LOD banging above us. Sounds of metal rolling around and ...
