Review summary

We had a great time cruising with family! Highly recommend any/all carnival cruises.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy, great staff and lots of smiling faces

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was good, great selections that ensured everyone in our party was able to get what they liked. Amazing servers and staff

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fitness center was clean but there was not a supply of cleaning wipes the first 4 days of the cruise. They finally put a “spray” bottle out to clean the machines but need to keep a supply of the disposable wipes available for use.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Best performers and shows. Can’t say enough about the nightly entertainment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always met with a smile and was amazing that we were greeted by name from our room Steward and dining staff.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The inside of the ship was “clean”, no issues but our balcony and balcony furniture was saturated sea salt. The handle on the door leading back into our suite was covered with “salt”. Believe the Magic needs a “makeover” to removed rust and clean the outside of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We love suites…..always sufficient closet/storage space.

Ports of call

Bimini, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We got off the ship but only walked around the area. Understand they are working to update the port for future cruises.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We have been to Nassau many many times. We got off the ship and walked around the newly renovated area. Beautiful update to the port area.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Did not visit port

I have a friend that lives in Freeport so was able to meet up with her vice taking a tour of the island

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I believe we were one of the first passengers off the ship and through customs. The perk of platinum status.

Great review. I hate that you missed renting a golf cart and touring Bimini. An awesome little island.
