[@tynikabrown9532]

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!!! Red frog was the hit bar for me and yes the casino bar kept those drinks coming! The staff was top notch our room steward Frank was the best!

[@xokelsei9523]

I love y’all videos. I went on my first cruise at the beginning of May this year. That’s when I found y’all! I can’t wait to book my next family and friends cruise. I love cruising now. 🎉🚢

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Awww thank you

[@margaretparker4074]

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.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

I’m so glad to help.

[@michelleleister9328]

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.

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!

[@stephaniejefferson9192]

They tried to put us with the already full table, and I just refused...I'm a size 20 (18 on a good day) and I was not about to squeeze into an already tight situation when there was plenty of seating elsewhere.

[@chanyanyanya]

Carnival Magic was the last cruise ship I sailed on before the pandemonium 🥲 Haven’t been on vacation since… So next year we finna turn up on Mardi Gras 🥳

[@neshlane1509]

So sad to hear Ryan Rose has left us on the West Coast! We enjoyed him thoroughly...he is definitely a STAR!

[@nicholaslazzari8787]

I’ve sailed on the Magic three times and I like the boat. My favorite room was my last room 12001. It was at the end of the hallway no pass by traffic and the balcony looked forward and outward. I appreciate you two. Thanks for the incite.

Thank you

[@austinwoolverton8832]

We just got off the ship 3 weeks ago. We hated the service at Italian joint. Took forever to get even a drink. Now steak house was amazing food and service. Bartender went to another bar just to get me a beer I wanted when they didn't have it there. Joey the cruise director was amazing!!! Cheerio!

[@patrellaadams8700]

Love love all the information and knowledge of cruising. My husband, found your channel. He tried sending it to me. I was like, mannn your late. I been following them

[@robertperrotte5958]

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

[@lyndasullenberger2112]

This was such an enjoyable and informative video! Leaving for my first cruise EVER in 2 weeks and this kind of video is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@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.

[@lizharrison2462]

Ryan is great! He even made the towel animal class a blast! 😊

[@deborahcarico5684]

Love and Marriage is my favorite game show they do. Love y'all

I think Magic is my favorite ship, but she does need some renovations. Our cruise director was Cookie, and he was awesome. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Love Cookie

[@cellistbrett2730]

Cookie is so amazing! We had him on Carnival Breeze!

[@cynthiadowling6783]

My first cruise was on the Magic in Feb of this year. Yes it is somewhat dated but I truly enjoyed myself and hope to sail her again.

[@c.williams7269]

@@cynthiadowling6783 it was our first ship too in 2019 for our honeymoon! We have been on it twice since then and love the service and entertainment. It does need some renovation done and someone needs to take lead on the food issue. Everytime we cruised her, the food was not the best.

[@jonathantorres7708]

Im going with my family on juneb4th 2024 on Magic to the bahamas I cant wait. Love yah vibes

Cruised on the Magic in May and enjoyed the ship. Best thing for me was the non-smoking casino on deck 4.

The Magic is an awesome ship. Cucina del Capilano is amazing at dinner. Loved the Magic before Covid and before she left Texas.

[@SIGCruiser]

Awesome review! I sailed the Magic 3 times pre-pandemic and loved it. I love the Dream class ships!

Was last on the Magic in 2019. The cruise director was Simon. It was one of the most fun ships compared to the many other Carnival ships we've been on.

[@janicedunbar442]

I enjoy your videos and learned so much about cruising from y'all. I love the Carnival Magic too and took my first cruise to the Bahamas on her in September 2021. 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.

[@jaleciachambers5960]

Went on the Magic back in November, and I probably loved and hated the same things you all did. One part of entertainment I loved the most was the singer who performed in the area near the Alchemy Bar. I forget her name right now but she was absolutely amazing!!!

[@LifeAccordingtoRoscoe]

I’ve also cruised the Carnival Magic back in 2016 and was in a suite. I feel like the crew members learn the names of the cruisers in the suites. We had the same experience of being called by name from place to place.

[@travelingwithteddyg7472]

Well I appreciate your honest review. I just cancel my next 3 cruises with carnival I refused to get on a ship that’s falling apart and have nothing but issues!!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

You jumped the “g u n” because there’s a review a year later than this one. Go on the celebration or Mardi Gras

I'll be on the Carnival Magic in 2 weeks. This is helping me be prepared for my cruise! Also, your cruise essentials list is very helpful. There were some things I hadn't considered but will now buy and pack.

We enjoyed the Red Frog Pub down on 6. They took good care of us.

My family loves the Magic. Going for our anniversary March 5th sailing. Can’t wait. My husband and I love alchemy so I hope there are different bartenders when we go. Thank you for sharing.

[@kimcanty1885]

I was in the Magic leaving from NY from 6/28-7-6 we had a ball. The highlight for me was Ryan Rose. My husband and I have been on many cruises but Ryan brought the energy and fun. His team was great. This is the 2nd video that I’ve watched and you guys seemed down to earth. Since in NY the Magic is being replaced with Carnival Venezia, I hope to see you on one of their sailings. I hope Ryan will be back.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

We adore Ryan. I need to ask him if he's going to NY. Your new ship looks amazing.

The ship was clean, the rooms were great, the staff was awesome, the food was good and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I'm looking to book another one here soon. I also really liked the fact that there was hand sanitizing stations everywhere you looked. So there was really no need for me to bring the gallon of hand sanitizer that I packed.. LOL.

Just got off the Magic. It was great except for the last day at sea as we were following Hurricane Lee. 15ft+ waves are not cool when you get motion sick. Capt did the best he could by staying closer to shore and keeping us nose into the waves.
