Disappointed
"In addition-no staff at those locations so the people who were already tired of lines and waiting - had the typical handful of people tryin to walk right up to the front of line and the arguing ensued-particularly because there was not a staff member in site to kindly point out the line.And seriously, I think kids should be loving the cruise and enjoying every bit of it-I don’t mind loud laughing kids having fun, they were just delinquents with no parental supervision and also not enough staff to keep them in any sort of a line: sitting on the chairs in the evening was near to impossible with kids screaming inappropriate stuff and spitting on each other and over a deck-comsistently-again not enjoyable...."Read More

Not my best experience

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I have cruised with Carnival many many times (enough to be at Platinum status for a while now). First time on Carnival Magic. Embarkation: This was a piece of cake. Cabin: Adequate. We had a cove balcony which we always book. The mattress was awful though. Awful. Balcony was rusty and dirty most of the week. We expect it to be salty as it is close to the water, but this was dirty and ...

Outdated, drab, dingy- obsolete

During my recent trip on the Carnival Magic ship, I found the decor and ambiance to be outdated, drab, and dingy. The carpet appeared old, and the bedding and curtains in the rooms were not up-to-date. The ship's entertainment, including the music selection, was not to my liking. The DJ played songs from the 80s and 90s almost exclusively, which was unexpected and did not feel current. I was ...

The first leg of a back to back on the Magic. We are platinum on Carnival so no real surprise. Food is very good overall. Service was excellent. Tender process was very slow in Belize. 5 ships to look after is too many. We did not get off this trip but heard many comments about long wait times. Balcony cabin was very good. Quiet and close to forward elevator lobby. Costs Maya has a relatively new ...

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 ...

Best food I've ever tasted

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 ...

We have cruised with Carnival before, on the Liberty, and our experience was very good at the time, so we thought the experience would be repeated, hence we chose Carnival again, but this time on the Magic. Totally regret our decision. From the cabin to the food in the Lido Marketplace was all disappointing. See my cabin review for details on the cabin. As for the food in the Lido marketplace, ...

Although embarkment was rough, it was an overall great experience. The ship before us caused us to be delayed for several hours (which wasn't normal). We got over that pretty quickly once we had a yummy cocktail in hand. My husband and I ate at the steakhouse the first night which was AMAZING! The food and service was outstanding. There were long lines for the buffet so we ate at the dining room ...
