Carnival Magic Cruise Reviews - Reviews

After 38 years of not being on the water after my service with the US NAVY, I am humble to say, We can’t wait to do it again!!!

There was a roach in my room I showed a video of it to the staff and they did not handle it appropriately.

It rained alot. The seas were rough. But thats the way it is in August. We had plenty of things to enjoy out of the rain and had a good time.

Of the 3 carnival cruises we have been on, this was by far the most disappointing as far as staff friendliness and efficiency. On our other cruises, the first server team we had in the dining room was so excellent that we requested them for the rest of the cruise. This time, none of the servers seemed happy to be there and the service was very slow. Not sure if it was the servers or the kitchen that was slow. None of the staff on the rest of the ship seemed very friendly or engaging, except our room steward, as was our experience on our other cruises. We liked the shows, but I felt that the backround song/music was way too loud. I could barely hear the singers sing.

very outdated. the beds are very uncomfortable and the room is very outdated… the hallways smell very funny

Loved every past cruise on several different cruise lines including Carnival. This was definitely my last Carnival cruise. Last straw, $4 for a small bag of popcorn while watching a movie! The Lido buffet was no better than the Golden Corral.

All in all it was a great cruise. My boys Chris and Rio at the Tides Pool Bar took care of us all week.

We had a group of 15 people and all had a good time. I was very disappointed about the reroute due to tropical storm but understood the safety aspect. It would have been nice if they had offered some credit or other incentives due to reroute. I was also unhappy with the prices they charged for photos. In a previous cruise on Carnival we were able to buy the digital package and get all our pics but this cruise did not offer that. They had a digital package for an absurd amount and it did not include all your photos, you had to pick an X number of photos.

Overall, it was a great cruise with my family. There are some improvements that need to be made and the ship is showing its age some. In spite of that, I had a great cruise.

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

Pack your patience and you'll be fine. If it's at or near capacity, there will be lines for everything. Understand that and anticipate it. The ship is perfectly fine, the crew is awesome, and the food/drinks are plenty tasty.

Choose this cruise for the convenience of going out of Norfolk. We all had a great time but it wasn’t the *best* trip we’ve had. The main issue was the terribly long lines at the buffets and getting off/on in Bimini

This was my fourth cruise with Carnival and the absolute worst! Teenagers ran the ship each day! The curfew was not enforced. The rooms were hot! A portion of the staff was rude! Never saw the cruise director. The food was subpar!

This was the best cruise I have been on. Atmosphere was great and the team members were amazing.

Our 15th cruise. Different cruise companies and Different size ships. Definitely in the top 5

Rate the good with the bad the bad won! The good on Royal Caribbean won when I cruised with them. I've only sailed 2 times in my life and Carnival not in my future.

We were looking forward to another Carnival experience after our great cruise last year. It did not live up to the standard set previously. A few bright glimmers, but overall a little disappointing.

Never again with carnival cruise line. It was the worst vacation/ cruise I have ever been on.

This was a very fun cruise. While nothing was wrong at all with the cruise itself my one point of feedback is that with a 8 day cruise there should have either been more ports of call or longer stays in the ports. We ended up floating off the coast of Virginia for a full day coming back which seemed like waste of time. Taking two days to get to Puerto Rico and another two to get back from Grand Turk is just wasteful.

This was my 4th Carnival cruise and my 1st post COVID. Lots has changed, and not for the better. From the long lines for everything, Carnival pushing more and more self service to cell phones and the hub app to the general state of disrepair on the ship I will not be cruising with Carnival again. I spent the last 2 days watching the Discovery channel in my cabin to get away from all the lines. I didn't spend $4000+ to sit in lines all day. If I wanted that I would have gone to Disney World.
