Review summary

We had a wonderful cruise on the Carnival Magic Feb 8-14, 2015. For a newer ship it seemed a little dated but the service was amazing. This was the best wait staff & room staff we have had on a cruise. I Gusti and Shashar in the dining room treated us like royalty. Aurora was the best with our room. From start to finish we had a great time. The shows on the main stage were mediocre, they really need to allow more than 2 singers. The comedians were top notch (we only attended family friendly shows). The ship was very clean and at every port they did maintenance on a different area to keep the ship looking nice. I would recommend this cruise to anyone.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5
Parking and traffic in and out of the pier area was very congested.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
If you go to Progreso be sure to book an excursion. The pier is 6 miles long so it is a long walk to town.
