Review summary

We loved the Carnival Magic. It was family friendly and all of the staff went out of their way to speak to our two year old son. He had a great time at the splash pad and small children’s slide. We also enjoyed the shows every night. Half moon cay was beautiful and a great beach day, Grand Turk was beautiful also but I would not recommend eating at Margaritaville, our bill was $146!! Amber Cove has a great pool right off the ship that is great with a awesome kids splash pad. The only real complaint that I have is our room stayed a little warmer than we like but it was manageable. Overall it was a great vacation and I would recommend it to anyone.

The cabin was excellent, great views being on the 11th deck and quick access to the lido and elevators. My only complaint is the room was a little warm.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

If you like to get off the ship early then I would highly suggest faster to the fun. We started disembarking at 6:30am and we were in our car and on the interstate at 7:00am

Couldn't agree more about FTTF for disembarkation...we had breakfast in the dining room when it opened at 6:30, grabbed our luggage, and walked right off the ship through customs in half hour tops! It was awesome...
