Review summary

Being a first time cruiser I was taken back by the experience. I took it all in as much as I can! I wanted to keep going and for it never to end. Carnival Magic was a dream to start with and the cruise staff was INCREDIBLE!! They were right ...cruising is and has become an addiction!!!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Unbelievable! Had the Faster to the Fun package. Check in was 12:30 to 1pm. Showed up at 11 due to check out time at Hotel. We were in our room by 11:20 and that was after stopping to get a drink!!!

I would love to write all I need to but simply do not have the time! Try to get a shorter excursion so you can explore the area.

Our 1st cruise was in 2014 on the Magic while it was porting out of Galveston. Wish it was still there but I’m glad you shared the same great experience we did. We’ve been addicted ever since & have yet to be disappointed. Welcome to the addiction!!!
