Len Stanchick, Cabin 10267:

We (4 adults/numerous cruises), sailed the Magic's recent 'Maiden Trans-Atlantic Voyage'. We were only out of Barcelona a short while, when we were notified we would have an Itinerary change due to a damaged rear thruster.

Instead of sailing to Grand Turk for a day stop, we were now going to Freeport, Bahama's for a 2 day repair stop. Repairs for the rear thruster, that (reportedly by repair crews at Freeport) had been damaged near Italy back in July. (3 months earlier!) (If this is true, this should only be considered as fraud!)

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8F

There is 'velcro' used around the bottom of the bed to hold the base deciration on. Many places the velcro is bare & I have sores to show the many times I 'brush-burned- my calfs, walking along it. Beds are 'less than comfortable', obviously not as conducive to good sleep as NCL or RCCL. The room TV service needs no expalnation to any who have used it. The worst I've ever come across. Loop run ad's constantly. No Capt's. or Navigators Log. never a forecast for any of the sea days, only on port days. Auto. dining program is limited to only a Main Dining Menu, and those dates list were askew. No cabin book with info. on TV, phone, room service, menu's for specialty rest's., etc.. The Carnival pens from both our cabin's mysteriously disappeared on the eve before we arrived in Galveston ... how cheap can you get. We had to borrow a pen to fill out our US Customs Dec. Forms.
