  1. when i was on the magic in june i had negative experience with the steakhouse. even with reservations they was no tables for me and the only option was the bar area setup they had that was empty. i thought with reservations they are suppose to hold you a spot
  2. surprised they was no notification about these changes
  3. Carnival Cruise Lines had issues with the Carnival Vista pods and they had to use to a floating dry dock. very interesting stuff
  4. i noticed the opposite were prices increase as the sail date gets closer. this happen for most of my cruises this year
  5. you get the silver benefits after the cruise
  6. For my 2023 cruise, i already did 3 price drops before final payment
  7. thats normal and has been the standard language for years
  8. same thing for my cruise next year. nice savings
  9. i wonder if other cruise lines will do the same thing. I know both carnival and royal had issues with the azipods in the past
  10. it remains on the gift card if your excursion is 100 dollars, you now have 400 dollars remaining on the gift card that can be used for other things
  11. if you are ok with any kind of coffee, the buffet is always open and they have coffee 24/7
  12. water ice tea lemonade strawberry kiwi flavor water another flavor water drink breakfast you have apple and orange juice
  13. i was on the vista inaugural cruise back in 2016. i got a nice pen and notepad set that is in a wooden box
  14. best way to make reservations for the shows and comedy is by using the app or the touchscreen kiosk by every elevator
  15. for most ports, there is no covid testing. they are still a few ports that do require covid testing. this page shows which ports is still needed: https://www.ncl.com/travel-requirements-by-country
  16. i cruised on the Magic twice this year and on both cruises you had to pick up the luggage tags by the sushi place
  17. most likely they will stop at great stirrup caye
  18. The Magic is in Port Canaveral until the middle of may. In the middle of may to the middle of June, the Magic does cruises from Norfolk. After a month of Norfolk cruises she heads to New York for the summer then returns to Norfolk at the end of September all of the news articles i can find about the Venezia says the ship will beginning sailing out of NYC sometime in the spring most likely in April/May It seem logical for the Magic to remain in Norfolk for the summer and do not return back to NYC i think having 2 ships out of NYC can work well but they needs to be better itinerary sailing out of here instead of the same itinerary they do every year. Have one ship do the traditional itinerary and another ship with more unique itineraries. The two that come my mind is the Vista NY inaugural cruise that went to San Juan, St Thomas, Antigua and St Maarten and then a few years ago the Sunrise did this itinerary: San Juan, Tortola, St Thomas, St Maarten
  19. thats what i noticed. i create a topic about that here:
  20. Bermuda released the 2023 cruise ship scheduled located here: http://www.marops.bm/Documents/Shipping_schedules/2023%20Cruise%20Ship%20Schedule.pdf . In the schedule it has information that carnival has not released to the public yet.. These changes effect the new Carnival Venezia and the Carnival Magic Carnival Venezia: 3 Bermuda sailing out of NYC. Port days is June 17, July 15 and August 12. These 3 sailings match perfectly the current existing Carnival Magic sailings with a sail date of June 15, July 13 and August 10. If any one is booked on these 3 sailings like me, expect a ship change notification Carnival Magic: 4 Bermuda sailing out of Norfolk. Port days is August 29-31, September 12-14, September 26-28 and October 7 The Magic current cruises out of NYC for end of August and September is canceled. If anyone is sailing during these two months, you will most likely be shifted to the Venezia. The October 7 port day matches the current the October 5 sailing from Norfolk With this information this my best guess on what is going to happen: Venezia will be replacing ALL of Magic sailings out of NYC. If anyone is booked for these cruises next year, it is going to be interesting on how carnival handles shifting everyone to the Venezia and if they will be any other itinerary changes. I would love more 9-10 day cruises out of NYC going to Antigua and Tortola like what they did before. Magic will be doing more cruises out of Norfolk during the summer
  21. its not really sale. they been having the 40% sale forever. they raise the price by 40% percent and then give you a 40% discount. not really a sale. same thing all stores do
  22. its even worse that Carnival only sails out of New York for only 3-4 months of a year 😞
