Review summary

The ports of calls at the Carnival Magicship were great. All the beautiful places we visited in Europe were amazing. Starting in Livorno-Florence, Rome, Naples, Sicily, Palma de Majorca and Marseille. We booked our excursions with Carnival and all the places were great, except for I wish they had more excursion to go the beaches. But overall they were great!!!
