Carnival Magic Cruise Reviews

We booked an Eastern Caribbean cruise on Carnival after cruising several times on Royal Caribbean. We selected this cruise primarily for it departure port (Port Canaveral) and itinerary, which included Amber Cove, St. Thomas, San Juan, and Grand Turk. It had been several years since sailing with Carnival, and I can say we were quite happy with our experience. Although a little confusing to get to ...

Wanted to see Grand Turk and USVI on kid friendly ship Ports were great. Great: cruise director Dr E! Dinners in the main dining room, pool areas on the Lido deck. Water slides Itinerary Good: Green Eggs and Ham breakfast. Would have been great with more character interaction. Line up to take a quick pic and that's it. They didn't come to the tables or really do much Ok: shows in ...

This was a cruise to celebrate our son and daughter-n-laws wedding anniversary. The staff at the Steakhouse went out of their way to make sure we had an enjoyable celebration dinner. Our days at sea were very pleasant, yet crowded on the deck areas with passengers ranging in age from infants to seniors! The entertainment was a variety so there was something for everyone to enjoy. The port days and ...

We love sailing on Carnival since we had our children. Now that they are grown-up we still enjoy going on a cruise. We feel safe and enjoy most of the ports we stop in. I wish they could get bigger ships in Tampa Bay because I don't like to drive to Miami. Port Canaval is closer. The crew is very friendly and enjoy eating in the dinning room at night or sea days. The eastern curise had four stops: ...

On this trip we traveled as a family in 2 cabins. As Platinum Guest we arrived at Port Carnival at 11:00 AM and was on board by noon. We went to our cabins, 7446 and 7450, to find them ready and in order. We meet our cabin Stewart, John, who for the entire 7 days, called us by first name and made sure that all our needs were taken care. This was our 1st time on the Magic and we were impressed with ...

My wife and I aren't "frequent" cruisers per se, but we have been on four now, so we have some frame-of-reference. Are we 'button-wearing, battle-hardened Platinum members"? No, but we've been around the block enough to know good cruise etiquette and service. We're also not newbies who expect to be fawned over at every corner of the ship. We're realistic, we understand that vacations are never ...

We have sailed the Eastern and Southern Caribbean. My family members were interested in the Mayan Ruins so I booked this trip during my college daughter's spring break. I was informed at embarkation that because I did not have a passport I was expected to bring my marriage license as the name on my driver's license does not match my birth certificate - point taken for future cruises. Service, ...

We sailed out of Port Canaveral on the Magic on March 4.In our party we had 7 from Ontario and 2 from Michigan....We are all in our late 50's early 60's and enjoyed the shows in the theatre as well as the bands and DJ's that were there to entertain us... This Western Carribean cruise was what we expected and Carnival did not disappoint us.....From the cruise director Dr E to the rest of the staff ...

Swore off Carnival line 8 years ago. Planned a vacation with co-workers who only travel Carnival. Tried to go in with an open mind this time around. Pleasantly surprised. I think the "Bubbles/booze" package helped keep the waiters at bay. Clientele had more manners this cruise. Do wish Carnival would station "Sanitizer Police" to the buffet areas. Ship was clean most of the time. At sea ...

We picked this cruise because we wanted to experience Turks & Caicos and we picked the Magic because we wanted to try a cove balcony. Both more than met our expectations. We met people on this cruise who were repeating this same itinerary as last year because they liked it so much and we may just do the same. Carnival doesn't tell you, but at Amber Cove (lst port) and Grand Turk (last port), ...
