Review summary

Cruse was great! It is what you make of it! We always have a blast

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Embarkation was a little rocky… we arrived via shuttle and there were lines galore, has already received a text from carnival that boarding will be delayed. Overall it took us about 45 mins to a hour to board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food, mainly we choose the Buffett. We went to the MDR on the first and last night. Food is the same ol same ol.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was unlimited things to do onboard. Every day had a lot to do for everyone

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Ship shows were great, although we have seen them many times but each playlist cast has their own style. DJs we’re great on lido, lobby & night club. The best was Hans at the piano bar!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward was good, never had to ask for anything, seems that he knew our needs. Waiters and service team at the MDR and the Buffett were great!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Shops layout was okay, this isn’t my first rodeo on the magic. The only thing I seen that needed care was the outside of the ship. Lots of rust.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Basic interior cabin that came with my casino offer. Nothing to write home about but we was only there to skew and shower

Ports of call

5 out of 5

Bonaire, Netherlands Special Municipality

4 out of 5
We took an island tour of the south side of the island. It was about 3.5 hours!

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
We rode on the free trolly around the town area, walked to the market across the road and then took a taxi to the beach. Beach was clean and nice but the water was not cooperating, waves were awful

La Romana, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We took a taxi to a beach which was great!! Clean clear water, nice area

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Debarkation was great!! We woke up late and went down to deck 3 and stood in line maybe 5-8 mins and then right off the ship!! Got into the terminal and they had facial recognition so no need for our passports, literally from the time we stepped off the ship onto the gangway to the terminal it was 3 minutes and we were out the door headed to our shuttle to the airport.
