Review summary

For the price you cant go wrong. Great service and entertainment. The only problem we experienced was with the passengers. It was a nearly full ship and seemed to have an abundance of teenagers and young adults that just acted like animals. Several people mentioned they complaining to the staff but they were simply out numbered. They acted like wild animals everywhere on the ship. From the pool to the shows, even during meals. I blame it on the parents not Carnival but it certainly had an impact on the cruise experience.

Food and Dining

The food on board was good, but having taken other cruises on other cruise lines, it did suffer in comparison. The buffets really need some attention

We have found that cruising during the summer months it’s not for us. Too many undisciplined children. and parents who allow them to run wild😡 Unfortunately, since Covid, the food quality and quantity has diminished on carnival. A new cruiser may not notice but frequent cruisers do notice the difference. Thank you for your review . Magic is one of my favorite ships.

Appreciate your feedback. Traveling in the Summer increases the probability of sailing with “children”. We try to sail while schools are in session. Glad you enjoyed your cruise otherwise.
