Review summary

Embarkation was a bummer but all 3 ships that docked on Saturday morning were 2 hours late due to fog. If there had been folding chairs for 3hr wait it would have been better. Carnival can't control weather. After that it was smooth sailing. The Cruise Director is AMAZING!!!, shows were best we had seen on Carnival. All Veterans out there, the Veterans appreciation get together was the best we have had on 6 Carnival and 4 NCL cruises. All ports were good, but be prepared to have your eyes opened in Dominican Republic, very sad the way most residents live. Guy's burger and Pig and Anchor were great. Disembarking was very smooth.We truly did have a magical time on the Magic.

Sorry about your embarrassment, I was on the Magic waiting to dock. It was a drag for everyone, a lot of people missed their flights..and we all felt for the people waiting to get on, the crew trying to get the ship ready. It was a crazy morning. But glad you had a great trip. We did too 🚢😎🌞🍹🏝
