Review summary

I'd rate it at about 80% - mainly because the food and entertainment has worsened. Also the extensive rust on our balcony was a big turn-off.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food quality was not up to par with our prior 4 Carnival cruises. Our favorite drink, Pirate's Punch, was unavailable because they ran out of almond liquor ship-wide.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The singers in the show routines sang out of tune, and the violin trio in the lobby also played out of tune. I played and sang professionally for over 14 years. Playing and singing in tune was always one of our main priorities.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

For the first time in our Carnival experience we encountered a few disgruntled ship personnel who ignored our "good morning" and "good evenng."

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Rust has become significantly worse on the Magic. Out balcony had rust everywhere.
