Review summary

WE LOOKED FORWARD TO SITTING ON THE BALCONY WHILE AT SEA AND DURING THE EVENING. THIS WAS MADE IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO RUST AND CONSTRUCTION. CARNIVAL OFFERED US A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY AND 15% OFF A FUTURE CRUISE. I DIDN'T HAVE USE OF THE BALCONY ON THIS CRUISE AND SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE BALCONY. THE ONLY THING I GET FROM CARNIVAL IS A RUNAROUND AND THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. IT'S A SAD SITUATION.

I don’t have a balcony booked for my Magic cruise, but hoping for a great time as it’s my 50th Anniversary. Up to this point I’ve heard nothing but great things about the ship. I am in an inside cabin on deck 8.

Don’t think cruising is for you. You were on vacation, would you rather be working. The cabin you had was pretty low. I think you were just hearing stabilizers and engines. Too bad you let something ruin your whole trip.
