Loved the size of the Magic - easy to get around. The buffett had something for everybody, GUY's burgers delicious as were the omelets. The main dining room menu had different entrees every night . The Carnival app was very useful for keeping up with friends and knowing what activities and it was only $5 for the week for the chat feature.

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food and service in main dining room was quick, efficient. Servers were friendly and accommodating. The buffet had nice selection. BUT did not like the butter in a big community bowl that people had to reach over to get the rolls. This week Carnival wrote on FB that they have changed to small crocks with disposable plastic spoons.
Onboard Activities

The pools were crowded with KIDS jumping everywhere. So instead I sat in hot tubs until the KIDS arrived.

Entertainment
4 out of 5
The entertainment in the atrium by the Shine Strings - Violin was awesome. Could not get seat in the small lounge for the comedians folks hogged seats - Carnival should clear lounge after each show- Since I had late dining - could not attend the Productions in the Showtime theater unless I left before dessert. They use to have 10PM show that would have been better. The Vibe lounge definitely for the much younger set the DJ Spike played same type of music even though he noticed no one was dancing and there were a lot of older folks that like to dance were in there. Karaoke always funny. the CD MarQ was funny and conducted some fun activities such as rock the promenade and of course the end of cruise balloon drop,
