Preparing for Debarkation Day
Debarkation Options
Guests may consider two options for debarkation day:
Option 1 - Carry Off Option: This allows you to carry your own luggage off the ship. If you choose the Carry Off option, you do not need to put your luggage outside of your cabin the last evening of your cruise. Keep all your belongings with you and on the last morning of the cruise we will begin to call Carry Off guests by muster station within the first hour after we clear customs. You will be getting off the ship first. Please know that in addition to carrying off your own bags, there may be escalators, stairs, and lines to contend with.

Zone tags will be available for pick up the last day of the cruise at a designated location listed on the Debarkation Flyer. You will need to select either early or late zone numbers according to your desired debarkation time (subject to availabitly).

Reviews for "Embark on a culinary journey: Carnival Magic departure dates for foodies"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the departure dates for the Carnival Magic cruise. The options were limited and not very convenient for someone like me who has a busy work schedule. I was looking forward to going on this cruise, but with the limited departure dates, it just wasn't possible. I think Carnival should offer more flexibility and a wider range of departure dates to cater to all types of travelers.
2. John - 2 stars
I had high expectations for the Carnival Magic departure dates, but I was left feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. The available dates were either too close together or too far apart, making it difficult for me to plan my vacation. I was hoping for more options and a better variety to choose from. It's disappointing when you're excited to go on a cruise, but the limited departure dates put a damper on the whole experience.

The departure dates for the Carnival Magic cruise were a letdown. I found it hard to navigate their website and their customer support was not helpful either. The whole process of trying to find suitable dates for my vacation was confusing and frustrating. It's a shame because I've heard great things about Carnival cruises, but the lack of flexibility in their departure dates was a big drawback for me.
