Review summary

I had a wonderful time on my cruise. As this was my first cruise, I didn't know what to expect. The best part of my cruise were all the staff on the cruise. Everyone was friendly. Our wait staff at our dinner time were unbelievable. They remembered our names. I asked for a special request...and they remembered it the following nights. The person that took care of our cabin was also exceptional. She took very good care of us. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone.

Well I don't know about the other ships but we really do like the Magic. We will have to find one comparable to it when it leaves Galveston. We think we might try a Royal Caribbean after our next cruise in March. The Magic is fun for kids. Our 13 year loves Camp Carnival (or whatever it's called 😀). We all just really like it! Hope you will too!

That's exactly the same for us! 2 years ago we took our first cruise on the magic and then again a year later, different stops same ship, and our next one this coming March on the magic again before she leaves. Different stops again! We love cruising!!
