[@JohnDoe-pe6iu]

Thanks for confirming and admitting that you will NOT SAIL the Carnival Magic again until the ship has been fixed. This is critical information so other viewers can also avoid the Carnival Magic.

We're booked on the Magic in May. This will be my second time. We last cruised on her in 2018. We loved her. I hope they get things put back together.

Thank you for this honest review!!

[@redmosquitox]

We had a blast on our 10 day on the Magic back in June ‘23 from Norfolk.

[@AdventuresAhead]

Yes! The magic is a good ship (needs a little love) and so happy you had a great time! Everything is what you make of it! Thanks for watching!

[@customartservices1590]

Just got off magic 7.14.2024. One of the best I have been on. Everything was great The food was about 7 out of 10. This was my 5th cruise with carnival. It was a party every night for all ages. It wasn't too much. Had something to do everyday

[@lifeleader8427]

I was on the Magic in December 2023. No complaints.

We see Carnival as a floating bar with a olace to sleep.. in a few weeks will be our fifth Cruise in the past two years on Carnival and we see exactly why it's so cheap to cruise on them.. we call it lipstick on a pig

[@CarnivalCruiseAddicts]

We go on Magic again in July. At least our expectations are set now! Great review!

[@AdventuresAhead]

Thanks!! Overall we had a great time! Just know she needs a little love but it shouldn’t affect your time! Have a blast! Thanks for watching and always commenting. We appreciate that ☺️

[@SwissTravelCouple]

We will also be on the Magic in July! Are you also starting the 27th from Miami?

[@CarnivalCruiseAddicts]

@kawa_rider_z9003 that is when we are going also!!!

[@SwissTravelCouple]

@@CarnivalCruiseAddicts so nice! We are doing a Back To Back Cruise :) We will stay on the ship until the 11th of august :)

[@CarnivalCruiseAddicts]

@@SwissTravelCouple awesome! Hope to get to meet you!

How long has it been since you sailed on the magic? We sail on it in 4 more days. We have sailed on the Carnival Breeze twice before which is the Magics sister ship. Now We sailed on the Carnival sunshine 3 different times and i notice the shower floods in some of their showers also but no biggy really. Yeah alot of these older ships definitely need some repairs.

[@AdventuresAhead]

We were just on in November. Overall we had a great cruise. We also have never stayed in a lower deck so that could have been a contributing factor as to why the shower backed up. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@Shawn3167]

@AdventuresAhead yep no problem. Keep up the good vids. I subscribed

[@JohnDoe-pe6iu]

Hey guys good information. However I am confused with your closing summary - if you like Carnival and know that Carnival has tons of ships and offerings why would you want to sail with the Carnival Magic despite all the serious cons you mentioned? Why would anyone want to pay even a single dollar to be treated to some of the cons you mentioned. MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL UNLESS SOMEONE IS PAYING YOU OR YOU HAVE SOME HIDDEN INCENTIVE!

[@AdventuresAhead]

No one is paying us. Despite the cons, we still had a good trip and made the best of our situation. We would definitely prefer to sail on the Magic again after it’s had a refresh. We have no hidden incentive. Thanks for the inquiry

[@marycoberley8132]

Looking forward to our next time on the magic, hopefully we don’t have these issues like flooding as we had that on liberty too.

[@ProjectEric2024]

What deck were you guys on? Thanks for the candid review.

[@AdventuresAhead]

We were on deck 2

[@AlienFrequency]

That’s strange about the maintenance issues. We were just on The Elation, a MUCH older ship, and it was very well main. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have a cruise in a little over two weeks on this boat, thanks for the review

[@sueheidymartinez5923]

How did it go?

[@asmrsleep3079]

@@sueheidymartinez5923 it was very fun... Everything was enjoyable. I do agree that the pools are very small but I didn't go in them because they were too salty. The water Burns immediately in your eyes. Water slides were very fun though. Dinner was great and activities on the boat were well planned and organized

[@asmrsleep3079]

@@sueheidymartinez5923 I wasn't one to go nitpick the boat and look at how the ceiling tiles look like some people, I just enjoyed my time

[@chadi7173]

We're booked on her after Thanksgiving. I hope it's "ship shape" by then

[@chelseanewman9975]

I’m going on Christmas with my kids!
