Review summary

We love the Magic and all dream class ships! Melody was our server in dining room and was so sweet and efficient! We had early dining and finished eating most nights within an hour. This was our 20th Carnival cruise and was a great family vacation!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We were on the ship within 45 minutes after arriving at the port. We went right to the Lido deck to eat and there were no lines.

The food was very good especially in the main dining room! Ajay was the chef and was one of best we have had. I found some of the food on Lido buffet was very good like the moroccan chicken one day.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had two balcony rooms with balconies that opened up for the 7 of us on the Lido deck. The guys were in 10261 and they heard more noise in their room. The twin beds and pillows were very comfortable but sofa bed was not as comfortable.

Ship tip

Be nice to all the staff! They work very hard!
