Carnival Magic - Reviews

i enjoyed the cruise immensely, however, missing the Grand Turk ( long day) was very disappointing. there should have been some compensation

Fun fun fun! Lots of activities to get involved in, enjoyed all aspects of the ship!

The ship is in great shape. There are so many different activities to participate in! There was also a great selection of different foods and places to eat, I feel like the choices have improved over the years on Carnival ships and this cruise had the best yet. The ports were beautiful, we saw two amazing beaches. St Maarten had beautiful sandy beaches and the water was amazing. Bikini beach in St Kitts was also beautiful and had a couple of nice restaurants and bars to visit while we relaxed in the sun. Puerto Rico has many options: we decided to spend some time exploring the old Forts and then got a Pina Colada from the place that claims to have invented the drink.

The cruise was amazing. The staff was amazing. Food delicious. Plenty of entertainment for the entire family.

The activities for this cruise were subpar and lacking. For a holiday and NYE cruise we expected more and better. The NYE celebration was very good. The food left little to be desired most of the time in the main dining room. Buffet dinner seems to be much better. The staff left a bitter taste in our mouths. The lady in medical was not very friendly dealing with our sick 9YO. The doctor seemed inexperienced to the point I had to ask him if he was a real doctor as he couldn't figure out the correct dosage of medicines he was prescribing. I informed him he better not let our son get worse as for $164 we would really mad. The stewards, Fitzroy and Roon, were awesome. Our waiters Augusto and Joel were exceptional...very pleasant.

We were very pleased on our first cruise. I don't think I would change anything about it except learning the ship a little faster.

For the money, it was a good cruise. If you can afford to spend more on a newer/better ship I advise it. The people on this cruise were different than any we have been on before. More rude. Less clean (dropping trash in the deck and leaving it). Very loud especially at 0300 running up and down the halls or banging on walls. Sounded like the people above us thought the floor was a trampoline.

Overall, This vacation was awful and not worth the nearly $3,000 that we ultimately spent. I’ve cruised with Carnival before onboard the Carnival Breeze and I highly recommend that ship over The Carnival Magic! The food was horrible and the high tides (or the frail design of an old ship) made it very difficult to walk around while sailing which made it nearly impossible to thoroughly enjoy the Cheers program. After about 2 drinks the motion of the ship and consistent rocking was enough make us click our heels and wish we were home. But at least we got some cool pictures of the water.

Best cruise because of the port of calls, YET!!! If you’re looking for a cruise, this is it!! We traveled with three boys 8, 10, and 12 but you can take this cruise without children! There was tons to do for ALL ages!

Enjoyed it, will definitely go to another area though.

we have been on around 25 cruises. But working with Ed Sai was a blessing. His professionalism, customer service was beyond words. So much until we will be back again. Also, we have referred other to him. Great Job Ed

Enjoyable cruise and ports. Fun time and good food. They alchemy bar staff made our cruise memorable.

Great Cruise I would highly recommend. I can't wait to take my next adventure with Carnival.

Overall, the cruise was okay. Did not exceed expectations but it wasn't terrible. The Carnival Hub app was amazing, user friendly and very helpful! Ports were nice and there was a variety of excursions. Subpar buffet food; but Guy Fieri's restaurants were a true treat! Cruise Director, Simon, was awesome! Loved his high energy!!! Beware, there is no indoor pool and the outdoor pools always have kids in them. Disappointed there was no "grand finale" where the staff was recognized for their hard work and able to rep their countries.

That was our first time on the cruise and we enjoy everything about it.

It was a relaxing & rejuvenating cruise for our anniversary.

I will never get to the port or this cruise. The worker at this port have poor customer service

Everything was fantastic from the friendly staff to the amazing food.

1St time cruise! I loved the service staff, they seemed genuinely happy to be there and create great memories for us. The only people that were not great were the Art Auctioneers. They were tricky and judgmental. The art was also pretty terrible, they were not very straightforward about what most people would consider “original” work, and printed work.

We enjoy Carnival! The Comedy Club is outstanding and there is s great variety in food. Love Guy's burgers. First time with Guy's BBQ. Outstanding! Will not cruise on a ship w/o Guy's!
