We will be getting on the Magic in less than 4 weeks. Thanks for sharing your experience, if possible it made me more excited to board! 🛳😎🎉 Debarkation has never been fun. Not sure how to streamline it as well as they seem to have embarkation.

Glad to hear that you too enjoyed your cruise on the beautiful Carnival Magic!! She is my favorite Carnival Cruise ship!! I do agree with you that there are plenty of food choices on her for everyone! I enjoyed the Blue Iguana Cantina and Pig and Anchor BBQ!! Her decor is what drew me in!! She's a huge ship with much to offer any type of cruiser!!
