Back aboard the Magic after about 8 years or so still a wonderful ship, we are a bit spoiled after being on the Mardi Gras twice earlier this year. One thing for sure the suites on the magic a bit less appealing but still workable.

Review summary

Our 33 rd. Cruise on Carnival one thing that’s missing from the past the future cruise desk, think there losing bookings by not having anymore.

5 out of 5

Very smooth walked in and straight to the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We had no complaints with the food on board.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We don’t partake in every little thing, but there’s plenty to keep you occupied.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Overall it was very nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The key to any voyage is the smiles and attention from the crew.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

There where a few items mostly outside that could use some attention, railings lounge chairs things like that.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The only item found to be an issue, and I know it’s a little insignificant but the size of the TV is a joke anymore compared to the Mardi Gras new interactive T V s and yes there are two large ones in suites.

Ports of call

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

I miss the future cruise desk too. 🙊🙊🙊. I suspect the online books led to price cuts for staff

We love the Magic too! Just the right size for everything you want to do. Vista class has same venues but are smaller making it fell like they crammed things in. Agree that future cruise desk is missed. Would have at least stopped to see what incentives would be offered. Luckily I have a great PVP!

Thank you for taking the time to share your cruise with us. Glad you had a good time. The Magic may be smaller and older, but she is my favorite ship.

Because everything is online, maybe they feel it's not cost effective. I'm just saying.
