We live in Va beach and love cruising out of Norfolk. Quick and easy boarding and close enough to Uber to the port. Excited to cruise again 8/5 for 8 days on the magic

We have only sailed from Norfolk 1 time before. We are looking forward to sailing from Norfolk again this June (2023). Super easy for our drive from the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Cruised out of Norfolk my 1st time cruising..5 minutes from my house..Glad I had that experience of it being from home.. It was Beautiful!.. But honestly, ever since, I have left from FL because cruises from Norfolk are soo overpriced..same as NY.. However, I think they should add more Itineraries to cruises leaving from Norfolk if they ever bring the ships back here. I'm sure they will.

I love Norfolk! It’s the closest port to my hometown of Richmond, Va. Sadly, there are only a couple Carnival cruises out of Norfolk in 2019. I’m hoping they add more sooner than later!

Wish they did more cruises from Norfolk. I did the Cruise to Nowhere from this port. The cruise was a fun weekend. One of the best cruises I’ve been on. Food and entertainment were on another level since we were at sea the entire weekend. Would definitely do it again.
