Review summary

Our 2nd time on the Magic and just as the first it was a lovely time. The staff and great.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

We sail out of Port Canaveral frequently and it’s always a great experience. This time sucked. We believe due to two reasons. 1) We believe the ship needed extra time to disembark the prior cruise, a charter rock cruise. This we were prepared for as we got a letter from Carnival asking us to come an hour early. 2) There apparently was a random Coast Guard inspection so most were 3 hours late getting onboard.
