Carnival Cruises - Carnival Magic Reviews

Grand Turks was my favorite, and DR was my 2nd. I liked Carnivals island except for the boarding procedure to get back on the ship . The buffet food on the ship wasn’t good however there were additional food options that was good .

Food was kind of disappointing. Water was too rough to shuttle to Half Moon Cay so it was cancelled but we did Nassau the next day instead and Nassau was awesome!

This is not a reflection of Avoya. travel. The food on carnival has just steadily gotten worse as time has passed. You don't notice it on the bigger ships but the smaller ships will no longer be on our sailing list.

It was a good trip as far as being with wife, daughter and son in law. Aruba and Curacao never disappoint! As for the Magic, it wasn't so magical; disappointed in dining and overall cleanliness. Lots of people with colds on the ship, son in law got sick and was in room for 4 of 8 days, wife and daughter were getting sick on final day at sea, leaving me to drive 12 hours with 3 flu/covid passengers. Was definitely memorable but not in the way we were hoping for.

The itinerary was perfect, beaches were , great, only disappointment was even though we requested small table we got a ten top. The table is so large we can t hear conversations of folks from other side of table. If we request small table, that’s what we should get wait staff terrific. Cabin steward, top notch

There were not enough activities on the days we were at sea, mainly trivia games. The 2 pools were too small for this size ship. Was disappointed that on the Elegant Nights that there were no tablecloths on the tables in the dining rooms. The reboarding in Bimini was horrible. The cruise ship had 2 doors open but it took us over 1 hr. waiting in the hot 90+ temperatures to get back on the ship Lines at the buffets were slow. The pizza station was understaffed. I waited 1 day for 15 min. with no movement and then left. Should have had more dancing on the Lido deck instead of showing movies so many nights. The Guys Burgers were excellent. Food was good in the dining room. This was my 4th and worst cruise on Carnival, I will choose a different cruise line next time.

Cruise director was great along with the entertainment.

The air quality on ship is poor. Cigarette smoke permeates the entire 5th deck from the casino. Such a shame. Food was mostly good. Not outstanding. Cigarette smoke was awful. And we are not sensitive to it. It came up from deck 5 to our balcony on 6. People are allowed to smoke on the decks. Air flow is poor. Got Covid.

Everything was great. I missed having a birthday gift waiting for me in my cabin but it was a great time overall. Looking forward to receiving my check in the mail for the booking special.

Steak was ordered Med rare arrived at table well done. Instead of preparing a new steak they tried to work on the original steak. It still was well done. They didn’t charge us for the steak but the dinner was ruined for her and I .

Everything was awesome. Embrkment and disbarkment each took about 15 minutes. I've never cared about who the cruise director was. Let me tell you, Ryan Rose is exceptional. He is magnetic. I would cruise a ship just because he's the CD. He knows how to get a crowd going. MDR great. The Marketplace, great. Cucina Del Capitano-great! Do the Italiam restaurant for lunch! It's included in your fare, no extra fee and it's a little slice of heaven. Bermuda-Bermuda Triangle Shipwreck Snorkel-amazing. Well worth every penny. Horseshoe Bay Beach transfer safe and efficient, but overpriced. Also, beach too crowded and only one place to get food and beverages-alcohol, softdrinks, and fried snack bar food lines were 2 hours long. Local (safe) busses at a fraction of the cost come right up to the ship. Litte craft place at the end of the pier behind the restaurant sells postcards and stamps. Will mail for you! Room steward (Eva)-outstanding! Spa-great massage, thelasotherapy pool, saunas and steam rooms.

debarkation not good,very slow

It was nice,didn’t like the lines for the buffet and shower dripped

smooth sailing

While the ship was clean and the staff friendly, the food was bland and the shows were mediocre. Half Moon Cay was beautiful. Day at Sea was dull. Nassau was mostly closed down. Bimini was beautiful and the only place we paid for an excursion. We did snorkeling at the shipwreck, would highly recommend it.

8 nights. 2 shore excursions cancelled, 1 port cancelled due to weather, mediocre food, lousy shows.
