We cruised out of houston port spring break. For those of you that dont know worst time to cruise is in march, because if their is fog they can cancel your cruise. Houston of port, first thing you need to know is you drive up drop your bags off, then drive to your designated parking lot and take a shuttle back. If you are a visabled pet, they will let you park for free. This will save you about 80.oo dollars, you get this pass from a small trailer in the parking area. The port itself was very busy which was expected due to spring break,however it went pretty smoothly.
Now carnival magic,
the room we stayed in was a balcony stateroom #8436, its a very descent size for upto 4 adults so dont waste your Money on a suite. The roo.M was clean and smoke free. Houskeeping employee were great, they knew everyone of my families names. Here's our experience, all the stores are oten closed on the day you visit other ports, if you need extra sunscree or tyn tylenol your screwed. If you get it the night before its an extorsion price wise. I was going to purchase 1 small 24 ct of tylenol and a bottle of nyquil, they wanted 29.99. The biggest irritation is the first day we boarded the ship none of the shops were opene until 5 or 6 pm. If you arent a big pool hugger, then expect to be board until around 6 pm. The shows they did have were entertaining But very limited. we like two of them and one comedian taking about his experience with his kids. The next is the food. If you dont want to dress up or wait for your
Great location, quiet, descent size and friendly stewards.
Out in the middle of no where by industrial area, it was cold and we had to be there early. We didnt do any shore excursions. Not alot near galveston.
