And again, an ugly floating colossus that consumes vast amounts of energy. The Wonder of the Seas consumes 250 tons of diesel per day (50 tons more than the Norway needed, which was already technically obsolete in 1995).

We just came off this cruise ship this past Sunday (4/17/2022). We did a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas... me and my 4 children ages 3,9,13,16 & their grandparents. Overall it was great and my kids and I had a great time! We just flew back home from FL yesterday and my kids are already wanting to plan another cruise for next year! Some things we really liked - Everything was very clean; there's a lot of staff constantly cleaning and sanitizing everything. All staff that we encountered were courteous and smiling etc. The cruise director, Dustin, was very up-beat, fun and informative. Our room attendant, Romano, was amazing... greeted us daily individually by name, we didn't have to ask for anything because he was always on it to keep everything restocked and cleaned. They had a nice selection of events and shows to satisfy all age groups (was just an issue for some to access the times/locations). They played a good selection of music and movies that was neutral for a variety of age groups. Nice selection of different food items to satisfy everyone. We enjoyed the interactive activities on the main deck; the DJ, the dancing to music with a lead instructor. The shops on deck 5 were tax free! Some things we did not like - There are a lot of activities onboard for everyone to do, but practically everything closed early. After 5 pm, there isn't a lot for children to do outside of the arcade or swimming... I believe the childrens' individual room keys should not be able to be used to on the arcade games... or there should be some kind of limit that notifies the parent or the parent is able to set a daily limit on their room keys before it shuts them down for the day. My 16 year old took my 9 and 13 year old to the kids club room I think it was called O2... however, my 9 year old was too young to get in so they ended up next door at the arcade instead where they could all go in and where they were able to swipe their personal room keys on the games, not knowing it was linked to my card... and I was not aware either that my credit card automatically linked to my kids' room keys also, but they racked up a nice little bill in the arcade. Parent's should have the option to block off their credit cards to link only to their own room key and not to their kid's room key too. We were also disappointed that basketball closed at 5pm and golf closed at 4pm. My oldest son has a skin condition and doesn't swim so after everything closed he stayed in the room mostly the rest of the night, and we thought golf stayed open til 5 also so we went up around 4 but it was closing also. Would be nice if both stayed open a little longer. Being on the top deck and hot, it's a little better when the sun isn't so beaming hot for elderly people like my parents and people with skin conditions like my son. There was tons of shows and events happening every day, all day long at different locations on the ships, but I never could get the carnival wifi to work on my phone so we had to frequently ask crew members what was going on and where/ what time etc, and usually we were just told to download the app; which was not working because the wifi. My daughter was the only one who was able to use the ship wifi and access the app once we hit international waters, but she was usually gone swimming or in the kids' club, so we had to constantly ask crew members, and some we not exactly sure either, so there was a lot of shows or events we either didn't know about until after or didn't know where/what time it was. A lot of other's I talked to had issues with using the ship wifi to access the app... it seemed to be hit or miss for people... it would have been nice if there was an alternative way to view them...maybe something posted on the main deck as well of all the shows/events names/dates/times/locations. Also, we checked into Camp Ocean for my 3 year old before we even booked so that she could play with some kids her age each day for a little bit. Online, it says for ages 2-11 but once on the ship Camp Ocean told us she had to be atleast 5 years old and vaccinated, which is not was it says online... and a little crazy since the rest of us were required to be vaccinated to even board the ship except younger children... but children under 11 could board w/o being vaccinated so at that point they're already on the ship soo...??? But regardless, the age group listed online for camp ocean says 2-11 but my 3 year old was "too young" regardless of the fact that she's not vaccinated either. Camp Ocean did however give her a drawstring bag of activities since they wouldn't allow her in. My biggest upset though, was the surprise $293 "gratuity" charge that I woke up to on the last day in my mail box and had to go down to guest services and stand in line to pay. I found out from other guest that EVERYONE is charged $13.99 gratuity charge for each day, which was NEVER disclosed to us before hand. We never ordered any kind of room service, I bought 2 drinks the entire time we were on the ship and I tipped very well for both, we left a nice tip for our room attendant in both mine and my parents rooms, which neither of us ordered any room service but they were both very kind, greeted us each day by name and cleaned our room, and we even left a tip on our table anytime we were in the dining hall for the ones who cleared the tables. We used ABSOLUTELY NO other services!!!! This was our first cruise but we of course have stayed in hotels before here and there and I had never tipped houekeeping or whatever before but our room attendant; "Romano" was his name, was excellent, and greeted me and my kids each morning by name and constantly asked if we needed anything, kept our room stocked to where we never had to ask for towels or anything, and made different little fun animals out of our towels each day that my younger kids enjoyed. it was really nice that they made it feel personable by quickly knowing and referring to us all by name and it just made me want to do something nice in return for his amazing service. My point is tips are EARNED... Any service we used, which was very little, we tipped well so I think it was a big rip off being charged $13.99 PER DAY, PER PERSON in "tips" charges, over half of my guests were minors who used no services at all other than having our room cleaned/restocked, in which I left a nice tip in the room for our attendant. I'm a single parent and new business owner... it takes several years to build up a business and clientele and this is only my 2nd year, product and overhead usually eats majority of my revenue and I sometimes just break even... but my point is I had to save, budget and sacrifice for a long, long time to be able to take my kids on this vacation and honestly, the surprising $300 charge was not at all in my budget; it may not be much to some but $300 is a nice chunk of money to me. I, too, work in an industry where we earn tips; tips are EARNED. Some people tip and some do not, that's just the way it is, but many do tip something when service is exceptional, like our room attendant, Romano, which was the first time I had tipped for someone cleaning/stocking our room... but it was well deserved. I normally receive tips from clients but sometimes some people don't tip, even when I thought I had done a good job...but I don't take it personal. I run a business and I would never charge a "tip" fee. A tip is a kind gesture for good service, it's not a requirement. It's just absolutely ridiculous to bill someone a $300 surprise "tip" fee for 2 drinks and room cleaning/stocking WHEN I PERSONALLY TIPPED FOR THOSE SERVICES myself willingly, not to mention 4 of the 7 guest WERE MINORS and used absolutely NO SERVICES or bought any drinks etc other than our room cleaning that I tipped for. Apparently you have to opt out of this before hand, which of course they don't tell you, and I'm not sure if that's even true, I was just told this by another guest AFTER receiving the bill in my mailbox the morning of check out, then you have to stand in the long line at guest services at the last minute. So just a heads up!! Make sure you account for this robbery expense ahead of time OR OPT OUT AHEAD OF TIME... because they certainly aren't going to tell you about it, and when you have several guest it really adds up and is absolutely unnecessary when you've used very minimal services and already tipped individually for those services (2 drinks for only 1 person!!!) but yet each person is charged daily for a grand total of a surprise $300 tip bill for 3 days

1. I've been on many Carnival cruises and gratuities are always clearly disclosed when booking. You can either choose to pay when you book or pay after the cruise. 2. Gratuities are NOT mandatory. You simply have to go to guest services and ask to have them removed (If you want to be that person). 3. Gratuities are divided between many people: your cabin steward and his assistants, the dining room staff servers, hosts, bussers (including the people who serve and clean up in the buffet areas) and other people that you might not interact with but support the people you do interact with. If you only tip certain people you are screwing over all of the people that work just as hard for you. Paying the gratuity on your bill is actually much more fair for everyone. 4. Of course they are going to count children.....children usually make much more of a mess than adults and they still go to the restaurants and buffets. When you go to a restaurant do you only tip on the amount for the adult meals or the whole ticket? 5. The crew members really depend on tips as they are not paid very well. And they earn every cent of it (often working 16-18 hours a day). If you don't want to tip don't cruise.

My daughter was the only one who was able to use the ship wifi and access the app once we hit international waters, but she was usually gone swimming or in the kids' club, so we had to constantly ask crew members, and some we not exactly sure either, so there was a lot of shows or events we either didn't know about until after or didn't know where/what time it was. A lot of other's I talked to had issues with using the ship wifi to access the app... it seemed to be hit or miss for people... it would have been nice if there was an alternative way to view them...maybe something posted on the main deck as well of all the shows/events names/dates/times/locations. Also, we checked into Camp Ocean for my 3 year old before we even booked so that she could play with some kids her age each day for a little bit. Online, it says for ages 2-11 but once on the ship Camp Ocean told us she had to be atleast 5 years old and vaccinated, which is not was it says online... and a little crazy since the rest of us were required to be vaccinated to even board the ship except younger children... but children under 11 could board w/o being vaccinated so at that point they're already on the ship soo...??? But regardless, the age group listed online for camp ocean says 2-11 but my 3 year old was "too young" regardless of the fact that she's not vaccinated either. Camp Ocean did however give her a drawstring bag of activities since they wouldn't allow her in. My biggest upset though, was the surprise $293 "gratuity" charge that I woke up to on the last day in my mail box and had to go down to guest services and stand in line to pay. I found out from other guest that EVERYONE is charged $13.99 gratuity charge for each day, which was NEVER disclosed to us before hand. We never ordered any kind of room service, I bought 2 drinks the entire time we were on the ship and I tipped very well for both, we left a nice tip for our room attendant in both mine and my parents rooms, which neither of us ordered any room service but they were both very kind, greeted us each day by name and cleaned our room, and we even left a tip on our table anytime we were in the dining hall for the ones who cleared the tables. We used ABSOLUTELY NO other services!!!! This was our first cruise but we of course have stayed in hotels before here and there and I had never tipped houekeeping or whatever before but our room attendant; "Romano" was his name, was excellent, and greeted me and my kids each morning by name and constantly asked if we needed anything, kept our room stocked to where we never had to ask for towels or anything, and made different little fun animals out of our towels each day that my younger kids enjoyed. it was really nice that they made it feel personable by quickly knowing and referring to us all by name and it just made me want to do something nice in return for his amazing service. My point is tips are EARNED... Any service we used, which was very little, we tipped well so I think it was a big rip off being charged $13.99 PER DAY, PER PERSON in "tips" charges, over half of my guests were minors who used no services at all other than having our room cleaned/restocked, in which I left a nice tip in the room for our attendant. I'm a single parent and new business owner... it takes several years to build up a business and clientele and this is only my 2nd year, product and overhead usually eats majority of my revenue and I sometimes just break even... but my point is I had to save, budget and sacrifice for a long, long time to be able to take my kids on this vacation and honestly, the surprising $300 charge was not at all in my budget; it may not be much to some but $300 is a nice chunk of money to me. I, too, work in an industry where we earn tips; tips are EARNED. Some people tip and some do not, that's just the way it is, but many do tip something when service is exceptional, like our room attendant, Romano, which was the first time I had tipped for someone cleaning/stocking our room... but it was well deserved. I normally receive tips from clients but sometimes some people don't tip, even when I thought I had done a good job...but I don't take it personal. I run a business and I would never charge a "tip" fee. A tip is a kind gesture for good service, it's not a requirement. It's just absolutely ridiculous to bill someone a $300 surprise "tip" fee for 2 drinks and room cleaning/stocking WHEN I PERSONALLY TIPPED FOR THOSE SERVICES myself willingly, not to mention 4 of the 7 guest WERE MINORS and used absolutely NO SERVICES or bought any drinks etc other than our room cleaning that I tipped for. Apparently you have to opt out of this before hand, which of course they don't tell you, and I'm not sure if that's even true, I was just told this by another guest AFTER receiving the bill in my mailbox the morning of check out, then you have to stand in the long line at guest services at the last minute. So just a heads up!! Make sure you account for this robbery expense ahead of time OR OPT OUT AHEAD OF TIME... because they certainly aren't going to tell you about it, and when you have several guest it really adds up and is absolutely unnecessary when you've used very minimal services and already tipped individually for those services (2 drinks for only 1 person!!!) but yet each person is charged daily for a grand total of a surprise $300 tip bill for 3 days
You can ask the help desk to take the gratuity off. I did this since I tip our steward in cash
@@zurislaughter8722 thanks for the advice.
1. I've been on many Carnival cruises and gratuities are always clearly disclosed when booking. You can either choose to pay when you book or pay after the cruise. 2. Gratuities are NOT mandatory. You simply have to go to guest services and ask to have them removed (If you want to be that person). 3. Gratuities are divided between many people: your cabin steward and his assistants, the dining room staff servers, hosts, bussers (including the people who serve and clean up in the buffet areas) and other people that you might not interact with but support the people you do interact with. If you only tip certain people you are screwing over all of the people that work just as hard for you. Paying the gratuity on your bill is actually much more fair for everyone. 4. Of course they are going to count children.....children usually make much more of a mess than adults and they still go to the restaurants and buffets. When you go to a restaurant do you only tip on the amount for the adult meals or the whole ticket? 5. The crew members really depend on tips as they are not paid very well. And they earn every cent of it (often working 16-18 hours a day). If you don't want to tip don't cruise.
no way u complained about it being hot🤣🤣 I’ve been on a cruise almost every year since i was born not this particular ship, but half carnival and half RC so i know what i’m talking about and all the things you listed are just cruise things cruises are amazing and they’re amazing i’ve loved going on them you just gotta understand there’s 3000 people on that boat you’ve got to look after yourself and your family it doesn’t matter what you paid because everyone else on that boat paid the same if not more no one is going to go out of their way to make it better for your family that’s your job my parents always made the cruise amazing for us if you can’t do that for your kids that’s your fault it’s a cruise make the best of it don’t pay attention to the bad things and stay focused on the amazing things that you experienced and did because it’s a CRUISE love it while you can your only on it for a week or so
Such a fun ride! We took the Magic on her Leap Day cruise, one of the last before the poison Covid event. This walkthrough is a sweet memory for me. The Magic is a wonderful fun ship and if you have the privilege of having Simon London as your Cruise Director, your trip will indeed be Magical.👩❤💋👨
Thanks for watching!
Will be sailing next month with them...can't wait
I'll be on the magic this Saturday for a 8 day. So excited!😆
Awesome video! We are thinking about cruising on the Magic in July with our 2 kids.
Do it! She’s an amazing ship!
Sailed on the Magic last November, and are booked again for this coming November. Can’t wait to cruise again aboard the Magic! Such a great cruise ship, and the crew are exceptional!
Im going in May. Is there a night club onboard the ship?
@@archdelux26 buy the drink package, you're always at the bar no matter where you're at onboard. Also night clubs are on decks 4 & 5 as well as the 3rd floor Atrium.
We were on this sailing with you. Did the storm make filming difficult on the last night?
It didn’t make it too hard, just not an ideal setting for a tour of a cruise ship. Usually you’d hope for a sunny day on a cruise but I was stuck with this 🤣
@@carnivalcruiselineblog it's a fantastic walk through. Definitely the best one I've seen.
@@ashliemarshall thank You!
Probably one of best walking tours I've seen on the magic. We get on her next weekend!
Thanks for watching! Have fun on your trip! Be sure to subscribe 😃
I like how the Alchemy bar has a live music stage next to it. The Destiny class has the Alchemy bar tucked away in a corner.
Fun-tastic tour of the Magic! She’s such a beautiful ship!🛳🎉
Thanks for watching!
Liked the ship tour, we have a cruise on it in may. Can you upload in hd too?
Thanks for sharing this!
Sailing on the Liberty in March 2022. This is the best, most efficient tour of the ship I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!!!
I will be sailing out March 21st... Maybe I'll see you on board?
Scared to book again when they canceled my first cruise which was this Jan I wanted to experience this and idk if it’s too late
