Hello - We are getting ready to cruise on the Carnival Legend for the first time next month. This is also the first time I will have traveled with three adults in one cabin. I've read where people have mentioned using the showers in the the spa to help alleviate the strain of several people getting ready at one time int he cabin. I was just wondering - Are the showers in the spa only open for use during certain times (i.e., only during spa hours or when the gym is open?)
This is why I love the Ocean View Double Bath cabins; you have two showers.

I honestly don't know what's going on with Magic's debarkation. It seems as thought this has been a consistent issue this spring. We were on the April 7th-14th sailing, which was a charter cruise. The media spun it as if we, the cruisers, were to blame for not getting off in a timely manner. Now mind you, the gangway came a loose from the ship, twice and that delayed us for over an an hour after people had already started debarking, but the luggage was a total nightmare!!!! No rhyme to the reason. Many people missed their flights trying to locate their luggage for well over two hours for some.

With a significant dry dock in 2016 I would not expect much more than upkeep such as carpet, mattresses, paint etc. Possible one or upgrades but mostly maintenance type issues.
That would be good enough for me. It's a beautiful ship, but that moldy carpet needs to be addressed before Sept. 2020 because it will get significantly worse between now and then.

For sure! It was pretty bad around stairs and lower decks seemed worse when I was on her a few weeks ago.
Thank you!!! I thought it was just us on our sailing that smelled it. It was pretty bad around stairs and the lower decks like you said. In addition, I ended up hoarse, and drainage and with a scratchy throat and didn't connect the dots until later; it was the mold. I was like, I'm out here in this beautiful salt water air, so why am I getting sick?
-
This ship is in need of carpet replacement in some areas. The smell is really bad from the mold.

Also, our delay in disembarkation started around 9:00 am. Carnival had plenty of time to tell the passengers about the boarding delay because they couldn't get us off.

The bridge is the area where the ship is commanded from. Perhaps you are referring to the gangway. Regardless, what a mess.
Gang way, bridge...but yes. Pardon my misuse of terms.

I was on the April 7th sailing of the Carnival Magic for the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage. And guess what, our boarding was delayed as well. People that were at the port to board during their scheduled boarding time text and called many of us that had later boarding times telling us not to come because they were standing outside in a line that wasn't even moving. I had never seen a line so long when I got there. And guess what we got, $0 onboard credit. Another thing that Carnival is failing to mention is that our ship had returned back way ahead of schedule because we had a medical emergency on board so we had been in the port since at least around 3 or 4 am! The people that got off the ship early had no problems and many were at the airport by 8 am, literally. What caused the issue was the bridge becoming detached from the ship. Now tell me, how many times does the bridge get attached to the ship for embarkation and disembarkation...every time right? Well someone didn't do their job and it could have ended in an absolute tragedy. They had to stop disembarkation for over an hour and they also stopped everyone from getting off because of the luggage debacle. The luggage tag numbers were not in their appropriate groups. 3's were with 20's etc. Many of us came off and had to look in luggage that was all piled together that was in no order and also had to check the belt. Many people were delayed and missed flights because there was no organization to the luggage. Again, not our fault. But I will say this, they do book this cruise each year because it's guaranteed money for them. Over a million that they receive up front! They should definitely take the necessary steps to make sure that things run smoothly for us as well as the passengers that are boarding after we get off the ship. In this case because of the issues they had with the bridge, they new early enough that there would be delays in boarding of their next guests.

I really don’t understand why these charters cannot be made to follow the same rules as we have to, and get off the ship as early as we do. It is not right that they hold up the next cruise like that.
I need to clarify a few things. I was on the ship that you boarded on 4/14/19. Yes it was a charter and we left late the Sunday before but the reason was because there was a concert with Janet Jackson. However, we were delayed in boarding as well on 4/7/19 and Carnival said the same thing....that the cruise before which was not a charter had a delayed debarkation.
But...the REAL reason we were delayed in getting off of the ship was because the bridge came detached from the ship! Imagine what an horrible situation this could have been if someone would have fallen and was injured or worse. In addition, Carnival did a horrible job with our luggage and they placed blame on the port and the port placed blame on Carnival, go figure. We sat for over an hour, after many people had started getting off at 7 and had to wait until the captain re-positioned the ship so that the bridge could be attached to the ship again and people could get off. Charters do in fact follow the same rules. If you want further clarification on this, contact Carnival because it was not us that delayed boarding...Carnival just chooses to place blame on the group leaving the ship.

Wow, so, every time someone goes overboard or falls from a railing on Carnival's ship's, there is a settlement? That's what it sounds like form the Winkleman person.

Surely there is some video footage of what actually happened. It sounds like a tragic accident. My prayers are with the family

Question,
When people fly in to cruise out of Galveston, I'm thinking that they normally fly into Houston, correct? If so, what do you normally do to get to Galveston...rent a car and then park it at the port parking? How have you handled this.

If anyone is interested in the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage that hasn't previously sailed on it, let me know! I may be able to get you a 10% discount.

I'm going to go one day, but right now I'm a die hard Fantastic Voyager!

Still no wordfrom Hattack? Not like him, not to post, with a big cruise (Koz in Venice) coming up, next month. Hope he's OK.
I agree...not like him. I hope he's ok.

TJFV is a wrap and I must say I didn't think it could get any better but I truly believe it did. I had a ball. My favorite show was Mary J. Blige with the Confunkshun, Barkays, Brick, and One Way running a close 2nd. Also, Fantasia, Anthony Hamilton, and Frankie Beverly and Maze never disappoint! They're already booking for next year, so if you want to go, now is the time because I believe it will sell out again.
-
How late can you request a name change on a booking with Carnival?
-
and yet TJFV has been on Carnival for the last few years...are you ready for your FV next month...my friends did not clear the WL so they are making other plans
Yes it has...TJFV has made the necessary adjustments to making Carnival work though. I am ready...Hate to hear your friends didn't get called from the waiting list.
-
would not be surprise to see a change back for 2018..probably both Capital Jazz & NCL want a divorce..Carnival has bigger brand new ships with the same basic layout (only with one more passenger cabin deck) so it could work...I miss the full day at sea noon time concerts on the Lido Deck..never saw 3000+ cruisers packed in one place on a cruise shup having so much fun
The most ideal ship for music charters is Royal Caribbean in my opinion. They have more venue's for larger groups of people as well as several smaller venues. I only attend one TJFV cruise on Royal Caribbean, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nobody cruising Magic April 5 ????
in Carnival Cruise Lines

You have been given bad information. I was on the Tom Joyner Cruise last year and it wasn't us that "took our time" getting off of the ship. The ship came lose from the gang way and we were stuck on the ship for almost 2 hours before we could start disembarking again. In addition to that being a problem our luggage was not in any kind of order which further complicated things for us. It was so chaotic and caused many people to miss their flights. Carnival had to compensate many people because of the issue being caused by the issue with the ship; not the cruisers.
Too add to that, we had delayed boarding as well. People were text us to take our time getting to the pier because they were all standing outside in long lines waiting to board the ship. If you would like clarification on what happened contact Christine Duffy with Carnival. That's who emailed us and asked any of us that ended up missing flights and having to get hotels to contact her and send in our receipts so that we can get refunds.
