Me too ~ I'm about an hour from the port.  October 10.  Got a good deal on a cove balcony.  

too funny, we are also on the Oct 10 cruise. Our first Carnival cruise was on Magic in a cove balcony

Are you sailing on CC out of Norfolk in October?  We're looking at that cruise too. 

Yes, being so close to the port we couldn't pass up the opportunity 

all of this is some great info I truly appreciate it, we'll be there in Oct and i will more than likely just use that day as a beach day and take up the drone 

I am following for confirmation also

Rent a golf cart and explore the small island on your own.  we did that in March and had a blast. There is a free tram from the ship area into the town.  there are hundreds and hundreds of golf carts to rent.  I think it is the third stop that the tram makes.  But just ask the driver.  We drove around and stopped at a few conch stands (joe's and stuart's).  Then made our way to a public beach that was just beautiful.  There are several food and drink vendors at the public beach.  I don't recall if there were bathrooms.  

This is great information thank you

I’d like to see ANY RC ship cruise out of Norfolk! I enjoyed cruises on both the Enchantment and the Grandeur from there. Both were great cruises. 

I too would love the ability to be able to sail more options so close to home, this is a main reason we switched from PC on Mardi Gras to the Magic again. The eliminating the need for airfare and pre cruise hotel we can splurge a lil on other things. I hope RC or even NCL comes to Norfolk but I will drive from Richmond to Bmore or NY if need be

Although i will not be sailing this ship next month but will be sailing the magic i still found this review to be awesome. We too will be driving with family members from NY, NJ, MD and VA to save on those expensive flights.

Im seriously considering the red frog tour after reading your review and will definitely be trying ther sushi...the photos look great thank you for taking the time to share

Wow, this changes things lol i was under the impression it was just sodas also... thank you for the info

Thanx for the info as i was a bit concerned for my 18y/o since my 12y/o still can attend his camp.

Great review thus far, thank you for sharing and the pix are awesome, August cant get here fast enough lol

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful and detailed review along with some awesome pictures...I can wait until we sail her in August

the cruise fare before taxes. whatever that fare is.

 

if the port taxes drop between now and sail date, you will get an on board credit automatically credit to your account. this explains the mystery 5/10 dollar random on board credit people see in their e docs a few days from sail date.

Thank you very much this is very helpful :cool:

When viewing the price drop is the cruise line considering the fare rate before or after port fees and taxes to be considered the difference as an actual "drop"

enjoying the read thus far, cant wait until August to sail with her...thank you

This will be helpful for our August date, thankx

Following as this may be a great option for us in August

I just did the "dummy booking" right before finding this thread... our cove balcony on magic for August has gone up Almost $60+ I'll keep looking with crossed fingers but i'm doubtful of seeing any significant drop this close

Just did a mock booking since this date and the rate has now dropped $0.10 below my paid rate... fingers crossed for continued drops

We dep mid August also but don't mind the children as I will be traveling with family that contains 2/12 1/18 year olds... children have never been an issue on any past cruises. Hope you enjoy your cruise

Following for grand turk info

We will be departing on our very first cruise with carnival in August, it will be my children's first cruise period and it's a surprise trip therefore i wanted a balcony and ther cove fit the budget perfectly. I can't wait and thus far the positives are outweighing the negatives lol thanx everyone

Awesome are on Magic in August with a cove balcony also family of 4... if we're offered and the price is right I'd jump on it for the larger space...

One cruise i forgot the battery charger for my camera on a 7 day cruise. At the second port (Ocho Rios) i had to buy a cheap one or pay an arm, leg, liver and a few ribs to buy one on ship

Thank for sharing your photos

Other than medical emergencies i don't know how folx put themselves into situations to miss the ship

Thanx for the review this just gets me hype for my upcoming August departure
