Be a “joiner”- go do all the things- try it all out- be adventurous! There is always something to do on the ship!

You can bring up to 12 drinks (non alcoholic) in bottles or cans per person, but each person needs to carry them on. Don't put them in your checked luggage all together -- they will take them out. I didn't know and designated one suitcase as our "drink" suitcase with drinks for 4 people. They check the bag and tossed all of them except for 12 for one person.

The Carnival Magic was more of a budget cruise, cost-wise compared to other cruise lines. We usually sail on Holland America. Because of this, you will find more families rather than couples. We actually sailed when school was in session, so there were very few children. You can expect much more noise on the ship if you sail when children are out of school. We live in Virginia and were so happy we did not have to fly to our Norfolk port, so this saved time and money. I recommend checking local ports in your state as more cruises are now departing from Norfolk and Baltimore.

Just be prepared for lines everywhere for everything, pack your patience.

Don't forget to try the Italian restaurant, complimentary at lunch.

Enjoy! It’s a bit older than the new monster ships, but has everything you need to have a great time. Having 1000 or so less passengers than bigger ships makes it easy to navigate and not have long waits or huge crowds….that being said, arrive 20 minutes before comedy shows for a good seat, and Serenity loungers fill up fast

**** Mobile trivia needs to be promoted, magnified, & extended. However, we would like to play mobile trivia for more than 15 minutes! I think TimePlay trivia is an absolute winner & is a ton of fun.

It is worth paying for a room with a balcony!

Pick another ship. Service on this one lacked much.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the daily specials from the Spa.

would do it again, ships need 24hours time to check out everything

be careful on the sport deck playing basketball because it does get slippery!

If you are traveling with others have a predetermined meeting place, otherwise you may never see each other

There aren't any comfortable chairs on the ship. I love chaise lounge chairs and couldn't find one on this ship.

Get to the shows really early as they get packed. The icecream station is fantastic.

We enjoyed the punchline brunch

Lido is the best place to relax and find plenty of food.

Bring your own water.
