This was not my first cruise, however was my first on a Carnival ship. I was not sure what to expect but found myself very happy and will definitely cruise Carnival again.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
My only issue with embarkation was having to retest for COVID. We followed the online instructions and our negative test was less than 72 hours prior to boarding, however we still had to test again as 2 days was the time line for testing. This needs to be changed in the website.

Entertainment

Louis the piano player was absolutely amazing and a true entertainer! We went back nightly to enjoy him. The shows were fantastic, the 70’s dance party was a blast! We had so much fun!! Simon London was very entertaining and has a real knack of pulling the crowd into all activities.

No children with us
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Wartana and his crew were amazing. They truly took care of our every need. I Nyoman made our room clean and very comfortable daily. They were so friendly and made it a point to know what we liked and wanted, making it happen. They all knew our names immediately and went out of their way to greet us and ask how we were and if we needed anything. Truly wonderful service.

Ship tip
Take advantage of the shows and be prepared to have fun!
Glad you had such a wonderful experience. Thank you for taking the time to post your review as many of us use the reviews to help plan our cruises. Carnival is the absolute best. My family had a fantastic time on the Magic as well.
I'm glad you enjoyed! And thank you for the review. Just an fyi - Carnival policy clearly states that vaccinated guests must be tested within 48 hours, and non-vaccinated guests between 72-24 hours before sailing. These are CDC rules.
