Great cruise! by
A Traveler from Tulsa, OK Sailing date: Oct 2012Pros: Halloween costume contest 10/31/12. All activities are great. Cons: Getting ON and OFF the ship is a pain, but this cruise was better than most for this. Everything was wonderful EXCEPT the "IRIE MON BEACH EXCURSION." The guides were not displaying a sign like the rest of the groups, so no one could find the group without a lot of extra consternation. I accidentally saw the sign lying on a table instead of its being held up high. However, after we got to the beach, it was very nice. Ship Quality

   Magic is magic by
Mark h from Texas Sailing date: Feb 2012Pros: The boat- the people, the food, camp carnival Cons: The guests/people that complain about anything in life while onboard The ship is amazing- impeccably cleaned everywhere. The people are great although they should give the omelette guys some espresso to put a little pep in their step!!! Food was great- i will never understand how people complain about the food- Do you eat like this at home? if so then you can complain- otherwise figure out what it would cost to eat on land all day non stop as so many people do- it looks like the last supper for some Ship Qualitya huge boat but never felt crowded- some lines at peak times but we avoided the food rush Dining/Foodreally good food, nice variety Stateroom Qualityclean- large, well maintained Ship Staff Qualityeveryone was great Entertainment & Activitieslive music is gone on lido but plenty of other live musiscians around the boat Children's Programscamp carnival will keep us coming back over and over 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Awesome cruise eperience! by
Tammy N. from MN Sailing date: Sep 2011Pros: Ship was brand new. The ports of call, and the excursion choices were amazing! Cons: We may have been on the young side for entertainment desires. We liked the entertainment on our last Carnival cruise to the carribean in February better. Our trip to the mediteranian was awesome. Carnival Magic was a very smooth sailing ship. The layout of the ship was much like other carnival ships but brand new and larger. We chose Carnival for our trip because we wanted to spend as much time exploring different ports of call and less time on the ship. Carnival's 12 day cruise only had 3 days at sea. We were ale to see so much more of the mediteranian than other cruise lines. My husband and I usually travel to one place and stay there for many days/weeks to explore on our vacations. After our first cruise to the caribbean in Feb. we were really excited to cruise through the mediteranian. Carnival had long days at port which gave you alot of time to get a feel for each place and you also knew you had a comfortable, clean and calm place to go home to at the end of each day. Loved it! Planning our next trip already! Ship Quality

GREAT CRUISE by
A Traveler from texas Sailing date: Mar 2013Pros: FOOD and friendly crew Cons: port times to short We were in stateroom 1352 and our friends were in 1365 and 1367. We were told that we would be across the hall. We ended up on the opposite side of the ship.
Starboard side staterooms are numbered odd, and port side are numbered even. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodWe dined nightly in the Northern Lights 3rd Fwd. Food selections were diverse and food quality was excellent. Stateroom Quality

Wonderful first time experience by
Michael F. from Houston, TX Sailing date: Aug 2012Pros: The Staff was amazing. Cons: Exploring Jamaica outside of the excursion was a bit of a bust Given the change I would most definitely go again. The staff really made this experience stellar, and there is never a dull moment on the the ship. Ship QualityIt's my first time, so it's the best I've been on. Stateroom QualityWe had an interior room which had no windows! So telling the time of day was tricky especially with no clock Ship Staff QualityOur bartender Mihaela on the Serenity Deck was awesome and cute. Our waiter "Mister D" was also entertaining and attentive Entertainment & ActivitiesLots to do and the shows were a blast especially Karaoke with Jay! 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

A Beautiful New Ship by
A Traveler from Indiana Sailing date: Apr 2012Pros: Lots to do Cons: Disembarkation was a bottleneck We were impressed that we didn't feel crowded with so many passengers, though we're not sun worshippers who had to get up early to get a prime location... Ship Quality
