Review summary

I liked the Magic, but not as much as the Dream. I didn't care for the decor. I wouldn't sail on this ship again.

Guy''s Burgers- Might be the best burgers on sea or land. Maybe I was just hungry. But seriously the burgers are really good. Be careful you may gain some weight on any ship with this joint

We found a service that took us around the local spots to get away from the piers. The food was amazing.

Funny story- we had planned to go off the main pier beaches, and find some excursions. But decided to get a couple of drinks near the ship, and i don't remember much more. My wife said i submerged her phone under the water. Wait I thought she said hold my phone, so i put it in my shorts. Probably shouldn't dove in the water. Oh well. Dead phone-mad wife- and I'm sure the bartender gave us a roofie. Well maybe it was all in my head. Fun times.

I love the magic. Sailing again April 2022. We get ocean suite and they have a separate dressing room with vanity in there separate from rest of your cabin

Sounds like an adventure for sure. Carnival has subdued the colors on the new ships.
