Review summary

We had a wonderful family vacation. We can't wait to book another cruise!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The gangway was not working at the port. It was pretty confusing at some points. Some of the Carnival staff were quite rude about the changes. Even with the changes, we boarded within 45 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate at the MDR. All the dishes were fabulous! They had baked Alaska the last night, a must have! We had the Guys Burgers, always good. The buffet, was hit or miss. The Pig & Anchor is only open on sea days. It was yummy.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We had a party of 12, ages 13 to 67! The pools were packed daily! The fitness was clean & working machines. The ropes course was a hit. The water slides were great. The Serenity deck was perfect.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were wonderful! The Rock Show was the best. The comedian, Chris was a riot. The live music everywhere on the ship kept everyone entertained!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
I signed all 5 kids up. They came and went as they pleased. They made new friends all over the US! They were very happy.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The entire staff of the Magic was unbelievable. They knew all of our names. They all smiled. They were gracious and helpful. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything was clean and in working order. However, the ship does need attention. Paint and updates.

Ship tip

Simon London was a great CD. Normally, I don't even notice who it is...he made an impression. Very positive and funny fellow!

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We booked to the waterfall tour through a private company. It was great. The port was really nice. Next time, we might just check it out!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
This is our 2nd time here. We tried to do a snorkel, conch excursion. However, there was some weather rolling in, so Carnival offered a refund if we didn't want to risk it. We thought it very generous of them.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Always fabulous. No excursion needed. Great beach day for us!
