I just got off the Magic 2 weeks ago and I 100% agree with everything y’all said!! Yesssss Ryan was AMAZING!!! He was so fun and yes he was Everywhere he definitely made the cruise!!!

Thank you for mentioning how accessable this ship is for mobility chairs. Very few cruise creators do. My husband uses a mobility chair. He and I have an anniversary cruise booked on the Carnival Magic in April 2023.

I’m so glad to help.

Agreed. Thank you! Would love a video discussing your mom's cruise experience, and things which people with limited mobility, walking or with mobility chairs, can do during cruises.

I just returned from sailing on her again, this time to Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and Grand Turk. I loved, loved, loved it, especially with Cruise Director Ryan Rose. I do wish that I could be on that October 10th sailing. Enjoy your next trip.

Idea: Always bring a foldable lunch bag, pack a lunch from the buffet for good eats off the ship. All inclusive vacation 👍 don't take a chance and get sick eating food on the islands food carts.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Island food is the best. ✔️

[@elouise5593]

Except for the Mexican ports! If you go to a Mexican port, make sure all your food you bring off the ship is factory packed, otherwise they will confiscate it. I found that out the hard way! Had to wait for lunchtime to eat! Glad they served us lunch on our excursion!

I m excited for my cruise on the Magic in Oct. Glad to hear that Ryan will still be there. Since its the first cruise out of Norfolk after coming back from NY.... Hopefully Embarkation won't be as bad as y'all had. Since I am local I will be dropped off and not have to deal with the parking.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Let’s hope and pray lol

[@jerrislittlereef4023]

I was on the Carnival Magic for my first cruise in 2018. My cruise director was ok and the entertainment was ok. The pool was too small and crowded so I never got in and you're right about the ship layout, we didn't discover the back of the ship where Guy's bbq was until the last 2 days of the trip. What I loved was spending time on the beach during port days, but I'm willing to try out the Magic again since you guys have let me know about sea day brunch and the game shows.

[@barbarahernandez4713]

That's why a good travel agent is a must. They will let you know all the ins and outs, at least I will.

Luckily, I live less than 15 minutes from the pier and won't hafta deal with the horror's of parking and I plan to leave my car at home and take a $10 Uber ride.

Just came off the Sunrise this past weekend. Thank you for sharing your tips. This was my 4th cruise and it was way smoother than the others in the past due to your tips. I hated the comic and the nightclub for the same reason as well. It was definitely a hole in the wall, with a low ceiling, real dark and dank. And it was hot and steamy. An absolute no for me. I am hoping things are different on the Celebration. I want to book for November.

We sailed the Magic last October. We loved it. Your correct about the food in the MDR. I wasn't impressed. I'm happy they changed the menu. They really need to go back coke products.
