Wonderful time on the Magic!

We had the best time last week on the Magic. We had our two daughters (8 and 10), cruising to Costa Maya, Belize City, and Cozumel. Ate all our dinners in the main dining room-- the food was SO good. Perfect every time. We avoided the Lido Buffet. Sea Day brunch in the main dining room was also fabulous. We also loved lunches in the pasta bar on deck 11. Our daughters loved the water slides ...

My husband, son and I just returned from a six day cruise on Carnival Magic. Let me start by saying this ship needs alot of upgrade starting with seating, cushioning worn and covered with stains along with carpet. It didn’t smell fresh. Secondly, we had balcony Deck 6 stain furniture and the windows must never get clean because you couldn’t see out your balcony same for the rest of the ship ...

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 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 ...

First time ever on Carnival. Been on RCCL 5 times over 24 years. The Magic has the best food not only in the dining room, but with Guy Fieri's Pig & Anchor BBQ and Emeril's signature dishes on every night's main dining room menu, this is the ship to eat!!! I never usually order 2 appetizers or entrees, but I did on this ship. Absolutely YUMMY! Entertainment was also top notch in the theater. ...

First, we loved the itinerary of our cruise, our favorite thus far and I’ve cruised for more than a decade. I prefer smaller ships and this was our first try on a larger ship. Compared to the Legend ship, the adults only area was horrible. The cushions were so worn and flat, people were doubling them up. And it didn’t seem as efficiently laid out so after people started doubling up on cushions ...

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 ...

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 ...

I can’t stop thinking about this cruise. I mean it was amazing. From the room service, to evening dining. The servers, Rio, Frank, & Ricky, just great! Words can’t explain how great everything was. I can’t wait for our next cruise on Carnival Magic Excursion site: Grand Lucanyon Resort. Beautiful resort. I will say the food took a long time to be prepared though. Other than that, the pool & the ...
