I just called them and had it changed, price was 5.00 more per person, but we are getting 50.00 in OBC so coming out 40.00 ahead. The lady I spoke to made the changes for me on the phone.

We did lunch once and dinner twice on our recent Magic cruise. Great food/service and staff.

I really liked the Magic Bands at Disney, but I save my S&S cards at the end. Hope the Medallions are personalized for each trip.

Just June was funny. Loved her shows on the Magic.

Sorry,we were on that same sailing and only encountered a few rude passengers. No smells, or food issues and no problems with the upkeep of our room.

I always prepay, that's how I budget for it. And I have never removed them, and always leave more in cash when it is earned. The crew works too hard to get stiffed because people don't want to pay or have spent all of their money. I am just glad that they make you sign a paper at guest services to remove them. A lady on the last cruise was complaining that she had to sign a paper simply because she refused to tip.

Steakhouse, they will bring the ring out with the dessert for you.

Pizza line is long and you have to wait no matter what ship you are on. Just off the Magic and waited 15-20 minutes at times for Pizza.

Forgot to mention that Carnival does not do Post Cruise Excursions in Port Canaveral. So we booked their service back to MCO where I had reserved a Day Room at the Hyatt Regency in the Terminal. They have rooms available from 10-6 for as low as 99.00. Were there before 10 and was able to check in. So worth it to be able to drop the bags, nap, eat in the terminal, freshen up before the flights home.

When I checked in online for my flights, I was offered a First Class up grade for $55.00 with 3 free checked bags. Otherwise, remain in coach and pay $60.00 to check the bags. Took the upgrade to save $5.00 dollars.

I loved having him as a CD on the Magic, Dec 10-17th, always visible and full of energy. Loved the sign off, Love you more.

Thanks for sharing. We were lucky to have Radu on our Alaska cruise last year. He was so nice, and we even talked to him off the ship in the ports and showed off the pictures that we had taken that day.

We had a great time on the Magic, staff and crew great. Captain was hilarious and always telling us to "party on." Loved the Cruise Director Schwartz. He was everywhere and always made it a point to speak.

The VIFP Party was well attended as there were over 400 Platinum and Diamond cruisers on this voyage.

Despite the large registration for the Meet and Mingle, only 20 showed and and even less stayed around by the time anyone from Carnival showed up. The CD did arrive afterwards and talked with us. They did take a group picture of those who stayed and delivered it the cabin later in the cruise.

We had no issues with the food, the longest wait was late at night for pizza.

Looking forward to the next cruises on the Paradise in July and then the Vista in October. Hope to also go back to Alaska for the 3rd time in 2018 as well as we only have Bermuda booked so far.

Will be glad to answer any questions. Thanks for letting me share. Until the next time. Bon Voyage.

The public areas were decorated for Christmas, this was the first time being on a ship in December and seeing it all decked out for the holidays.

Tree in the Atrium:

After visiting a few shops, we wandered into Jimmy Buffet's for drinks and lunch before it got too crazy. The beach was crowded and it was hot out, so after lunch we got back on board and I had fun on the water slides and the pool.

Managed to capture this sunset in Grand Turk:

Next stop Grand Turk, nothing planned here as last October we did the Coast to Coast Safari while here on the Carnival Breeze. The Glory would be with us in Port again today. This was the hottest stop on the trip (temperature wise.)

Glory next to us and the short pier you walk to get to the shops and the beach.

Loved all your pictures and details, thanks!

I will post more after work and try to wrap it up this evening.

Thanks for the review.

 

 

 

Can you tell me what were the inside temperatures were like? If you could give a bit of a reference point - example you keep your house at 73 and you were comfortable - this would tell me I need to pack extra sweaters.

 

 

 

Thank you.

I keep the house on 70 during the hottest times. I was comfortable throughout this trip. It only got hot while waiting in line for the main lounge.

Sunset leaving San Juan. We visited San one for the first time in 2010 ,on the Carnival Glory, so it was nice to see her in 3 of the ports we visited.

Glory backed out first:

View of the fort as we left San Juan Harbor.

We made one stop on the way out for restrooms and snacks before the ride back to Old San Juan. We had 2 hours to walk around before we had to be back on the ship for sail away.

Next stop were the falls:

98 steps to the top:

San Juan, we decided on the Rain Forest Drive excursion, we tried to so this a couple years back after the cruise with airport drop off, but due to lack of booking they cancelled it on us and we had to make other arrangements.

Our guide Alex was the best guide we have had on a Carnival Tour, he explained the history of all things we were seeing and kept us entertained on the 45 minute ride over to the Visitor Center.
