Sail Date: Aug 2018
Cabin: Spa Balcony

After attending a nephew’s wedding in MS this was a very convenient port for us to cruise from. This was the first time during August after seven previous cruises. We had previously done one in early July on RC Empress of the Seas, 4 during Spring Break with our children on RC, and 2 in early May after college classes were done for the year but before public schools were out. One of these was on RC and the other on Carnival. Two of the cruises sailed from Ft. Lauderdale, and the others had all been from Galveston.

Embarkation was the fastest we have ever experienced but we boarded the latest that we ever had too. We were able to walk straight to our cabin and leave the carry ons before heading to the Lido for lunch. Luggage was delivered shortly after returning from the safety demonstration.

We had the late dining time and ate in the dining all but two evenings. Service was just average and the same could be said for the food quality. We did try Bella Pasta for lunch one day but once again it was just average. We did like Guy’s hamburgers and BBQ as well as the Blue Iguana.

Cabin Review

Spa Balcony

Cabin 8S

Cabin was smaller than we remembered the Spa Cabin being on a previous Carnival Magic cruise. Had one reclining chair and one regular chair as well as a small table on the balcony. We did have a family next door to us with very loud children. Children or teenagers frequently ran down the hall late at night and children running to the slides entrance could be heard from the time it opened each day until it closed in the evening. The balcony is uncovered so due to the sun we only used it the half of the day when it was shaded due to th sun’s location in the sky.
