Review summary

The dinning experience was horrible! Service was extremely slow and inattentive. Food would sit until luke warm at best. One night we set for 15 minutes before we got any service. Quality of food varied from good at best to poor, especially the seafood.  The best thing going for the ship was their Cruise Director. Dr E was always up beat and entertaining.  Needed some assistance once and after asking 6 crew members for help with no avail, gave up and took matters in my own hands and not at anytime did someone from the crew ask if they could help. Will probably never do another Carnival cruise again!

We have anytime dining, but we hardly eat at the main dining room anyhow

Yes we do too. This was our 2nd cruise on the Magic. I'm wondering if the 6 or 8 dining doesn't run smoother than any time in the magic. We did 6 pm on our first magic cruise and it was great.

Did you do anytime dining? That was the only issue we had on our May cruise on the Magic. We did anytime and it was pretty slow but after the first 3 nights we finally got settled with the same waiters and the rest of the time we got good service. Sure didn't ruin our cruise at all. We had a great time.

We are going with a positive attitude. So what your food was was not warm. You have so many places to eat!!

What were you needing help with that the crew wasn't doing?
