My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on the Carnival Magic to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. We have cruised on Carnival, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity. We are a family of eight (ages 7-76), and we drove down from the Dallas area and stayed at Candlewood Suites in League City on Saturday night before driving on to Galveston on Sunday morning.

We parked our three vehicles at EZ Cruise Parking ($50 ea.)and would highly recommend them. We had made reservations on their website prior to our cruise. After dropping off all of our luggage, the guys proceeded to park and rode the EZ shuttle back. Luggage is dropped off at one end of the terminal and the entrance is at the far end which is quite a walk. The embarkation process was the fastest and easiest we've ever experienced. Great job Carnival! We were all eating lunch on the Lido Deck by 11:40. The muster drill is INDOORS, and you don't take your life jackets...a BIG improvement.

We had three balcony cabins mid-ship starboard side. Our balcony partitions were opened to give us one large balcony. The cabins were very spacious, clean, and had everything you could possibly need including a safe and refrigerator. One handy feature is that you can review the menus for the week, review your ship account, and available excursions on your cabin's flat-screen TV. Our cabin steward, Sudana, was fantastic. He always called each of us by name and fulfilled all of our requests. Read more
