Review summary

This was a last minute trip to take my family member on that never cruised before. And with all the fun & excitement we had with our past cruises I decided to pick Carnival so she could have the best experience. I was so excited to see the impressions on her face when she encountered all that the Carnival Magic had to offer. The only thing that really changed was the food. I might have talked it up to much or because of all the changes Covid made to this world it just wasn’t as good as it was in the past. But we had a great time and an experience we will cherish forever. Thank you Carnival Team!

Service and Staff

All waiters were very friendly and did an excellent job. Our room was perfect because our room steward did an amazing job cleaning along with the surprise animals that made our vacation more exciting

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the layout with many options to find a place to relax or have fun. The workers did a great job trying to keep everything clean for all of vacationers BUT I wish people wouldn’t be so selfish and think of all the work they do and clean up after themselves

Cabin / Stateroom

I was amazed on how much room we had in an interior cabin! And the bathroom was also bigger than I expected! Very nice & clean!

Did the sharks,rays,barrier reef snorkeling excursion and it was amazing! Very organized getting off to the ship to our meeting place where we got into a boat to get to our destination. All the crew were very friendly and helpful. Michael was amazing and you could tell he loved his job because he made it possible for everyone to share in the excitement and beauty that takes place under the ocean. He is Very Knowledgeable! (So was his helper very concerned about our safety and also wanted us to enjoy the wonders of the ocean)

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Was it alot of noise from deck above you or not to much looking to book on lower decks.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. Seeing a cruise from a first time cruiser is my favorite thing. Thanks for bringing another fan. I personally don’t think the food will be back to years ago. Even at home, cutting corners happens because of cost. I can’t imagine what it costs for an entire cruise doesn’t require the same. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
