We had a fantastic cruise. The weather was hot but mild. We barely felt the ship moving the water was very calm. The staff and crew were so friendly and tried very hard to make this a great vacation. There was always a lounge chair available on deck 5, it was so relaxing watching the water. I loved singing karaoke, made some new friends and had some great drinks.

Everything we ate on the ship was amazing. Guys Pig and anchor barbecue, The mac & cheese and the pork butt was delicious. Sea day brunch steak and eggs and the 12 hour French toast was amazing. We also ate at La Cucina and the steakhouse. The service and food were great. the food in the MDR was delicious and our wait staff was so amazing. The food on the buffet was really good, Mongolian wok was delicious blue iguana, and guys burgers were also very good. I loved the lobster rolls at the seafood shack. If I had to pick a favorite it would be La Cucina.

I always saw someone cleaning. They were everywhere. Even when we were at port they were painting the outside of the ship.
Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was quiet and cozy. I usually don’t like an inside cabin but this was so comfortable, we slept so good. The location was great for us. It was easy to get to the casino, Red Frog Rum Pub and Ocean Plaza on deck 5.
Ship tip
Relax and have fun. Join in as much as possible. If you want to try the Steakhouse make your reservation as soon as possible. Go to La Cucina for dinner. And please be kind to other passengers, staff and crew.
Getting off the ship was quick and easy. We didn’t carry our luggage off. We took our time, ate breakfast and walked down when our number was called. No problems at all.
I’m glad you enjoyed your magical vacation cruise on the Carnival Magic. I totally agree with your ship tip about how you treat people. Thank you for taking the time to share your review and pictures. Half Moon Cay is our favorite place. 😎🚢☀️🩴🏝🪸🐠🌺🙏🏻
