There is too much to do, so don't try to do it all. Stop to relax. Also and I may regret saying this if everyone figures it out. Skip the Lido buffet on embarkation day, Guys Pig & Anchor is open and almost nobody know it, so go have a really good BBQ lunch and no lines, plus it gets really busy on on the seadays, so it a good day to enjoy it.

Have a great time. There is plenty to do!

Take a fan or something to block out noise you can hear kids running down hall all times of night and doors slamming other than that enjoy

Once you get the layout of the ship, it becomes much easier to get everywhere. The Serenity Deck is awesome when the wind is just right. Sometimes very windy and others no breeze at all, which made it very hot.

Serenity deck was great except when there was no breeze. Very hot otherwise.

Try to see all the shows and experience all they can. The cruise director was wonderful! The entertainment in the main hall was always very entertaining!

Explore this ship. Deck 5 goes all the way around the ship. The secret decks are awesome and always fun to look for.

It's your cruise so don't let the little things or the nay sayers get in your head. The food was great and the crew were phenominal.

We had a great time on the Carnival Magic. We were on the Horizon a few weeks ago, and I liked the Magic better in many ways. The atrium, theater, mdr's were nicer than other Carnival ships I've been on. It's kept spotless, they're constantly cleaning. The stateroom had more storage area than the same type of room we had on Horizon. Everything worked great! AC and fridge worked fine and didn't notice any sewage smells around the ship as reported by others. Some hallways, stairwells and elevators were warm on occasion, but all other areas on the ship were always perfectly cool and comfortable. Our room steward Marut did a great job maintaining our room and all crew we encountered were always nice. Most of the food in the buffet area MDR was good, some was just ok. The only slight issue was the service in the MDR. We had anytime dining and table was always available without any wait, that part was perfect! The issues were occasional long wait times for food and lack of service on a few occasions. This was in no way any of the servers faults. They were all very nice and very apologetic, it's just they were short staffed and trying to take care of too many tables at once. Not that big of a deal to us, as we are not very demanding, but some passangers were getting upset and complaining. Leigh was our cruise director, and he was good. The standout crew member was, DJ Cue, he was great, very entertaining and puts on a great show! The comedy shows were just ok, not great. The bands and violin players were phenomenal. The shows in the theater were all good. It was a very enjoyable 8 days, and I can't wait to go on its sister ship The Breeze in a few months.

The only downside to this ship is that in some locations the smell of sewer was overwhelming.. The crew was ALWAYS cleaning and they were such a joy to be around..

Since Guys BBQ place is only open on sea days, make sure you get in line early because they were ridiculous.

Be preparted the first day for extremely long lines, but after that we had no issues. We found the elevators that were away from the events to make the wait at the elevators faster.
