Review summary

Probably wouldn't go on the Magic again but still like Carnival. I would have liked to have been able to have the couch put away every day instead of it staying as a bed.

They have a hideaway couch instead of a bed in the rooms? I've never had one of those. Or is it the rooms for more people?

Well hopefully for the ppl having problem with parents keeping their children in check they should be back in school by this cruise sat 26th I'll be too excited to worry about children running about I think I ran around when I was a kid .... lol

I really don't care to sail on Carnival Magic again either. I know Carnival always has lots of kids aboard and that is cool, but running around unsupervised was problem on my sailing. Maybe because it was Thanksgiving but still, kids should not be up running around at 1am and taking over the hot tubs. I would say Carnival Magic probably has one of the best Cruise Directors in the fleet.

Did you ask for it to be put away? When we sailed on Magic it was put up every day. Maybe that was just something my room steward did. Worse comes to worse push it in yourself😉
