Review summary

I love the atmosphere of Carnival and bounce between Carnival and Royal - I always feel refreshed after Carnival, just a more relaxing atmosphere- just wish their casinos weren't as tight as Royal, always better luck on Royal than Carnival

Go on the Mardi Gras the entertainment was awesome. Just got back. They had everything but the juggling unless i missed it. My husband and I also had no luck in the casino. But i guess that is why it’s called gambling. Thanks for your review we will be taking the kids on the Magic in a few weeks probably going to be hard after the Mardi Gras cruise.

I agree, I only seen a few people win any real money on machines on my last cruise. We all lost on the tables. Any time the casinos are empty on the last 2 nights let’s you know nobody is winning.

Perfect

Southern Caribbean did not disappoint!

Had a good time. This was our 12th cruise with Carnival and never had a issue but this time there was a issue with the room steward and a issue in the dining room. We love Carnival and are booked on the Magic again in September.
