One is the primary pool, where things get busy and regular activities like games, live music and movie screenings draw crowds.Another pool sits on the opposite side of the ship, and is preferred by families and children. However, if you’re looking for a hot tub, you’ll be pleased to know that there are 10 scattered across the ship. Carnival Magic weighs in at 128,048 GT, with a length of 1,005 feet and 14 passenger decks, and 17 decks total. The vessel holds 4,724 passengers at max capacity, though more around 3,690 during a normal sailing, along with 1,386 crew members. Today, Carnival Magic is the 56th largest cruise ship in the world, just under sister ship Carnival Breeze, and just above AIDA Cruises’ vessels AIDAprima and AIDAperla. As mentioned, the entire Carnival Dream class was impressively big at the time of launch, but that’s not the case now.

Carnival Magic’s suites do have a bit more of a modern feel to them, as compared to the general staterooms. You get tons of space, as you might expect, with plenteous seating, making the ship’s suites ideal for those traveling as a family or in a group. You enjoy access to complimentary entertainment, such as theatrical shows, game shows, children’s events, live music and comedy sets. Of course, you get access to all the fun outdoor attractions, like the ropes course and water park. Other complimentary amenities include the fitness center, children’s programming and daily entertainment. With more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors, try an Ocean Suite to experience private, luxurious relaxation.

Review of Carnival Magic
The second of Carnival’s Dream-class vessels, Carnival Magic was launched in 2011 with two major new features—the Red Frog Pub and an Italian specialty restaurant. Carnival Magic is scheduled for a major upgrade in 2015, when it will receive Carnival’s “Fun Ship 2.0″ features with new casual dining options, poolside bars, and more. After departing her home port in Galveston, Carnival Magic sails either to the Western Caribbean and Mexico or the Eastern Caribbean, venturing as far as the Bahamas. It’s possible to book cruises back-to-back on the alternating itineraries and with no repetitious ports of call. The ship has three different major production shows in the main theater, “Encore,” each week-long cruise. Caliente is the disco dance club with a high-tech sound and lighting system.

In fact, when the line first unveiled Carnival Sunshine in 1996 (back when it was called Carnival Destiny), it was the biggest cruise ship in the world. At around 102,000 tons, the Sunshine-class ships are more than 20% smaller than Carnival Panorama and more than 40% smaller than Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration. The ships in this class hold 3,646 to 3,690 passengers, based on double occupancy.

You can also enjoy some other workout equipment that’s situated outside, in the SportSquare. When planning a cruise, it’s always nice to know what exactly is included in the price of your cabin fare. While most inclusions remain standard across Carnival’s entire cruise line, there are some differences that can pop up from ship to ship. Carnival Magic draws a diverse base, with passengers from all over the United States and even a few foreign countries (mostly Canadian, English and German tourists tacking on a cruise to their Florida vacation). You’ll see plenty of families and friends traveling together, most wearing matching cruise shirts.

In 2023, the liner was homeported in Miami Florida and also offered voyages from Norfolk Virginia. Summer 2023 season from Norfolk VA was CCL's longest (6 months/May 14th thru October 22nd) since 2002. Carnival Magic's previously scheduled homeporting in NYC (to Bermuda) was canceled in Nov 2022. Follows the complete list of Carnival Magic lounges, clubs and other entertainment venues for kids, teens, and adults. However, while mom and dad are off at the bar or on the adults-only sundeck, kids have plenty of ways to keep themselves entertained, thanks to myriad children’s programming. Pick from programs for ages 2 to 17, with kids split into groups 2 to 5, 6 to 8, 9 to 11, 12 to 14 and 15 to 17.
This extraordinary ship marks the end of Carnival's longtime interior architect Joe Farcus, and he goes out in style. While cruisers might still expect neon and mirrored surfaces, his touch is limited, as far as other designers were also hired. This is the reason why there is a lighting refinement to many of the places, including the main dining rooms, the sun deck and especially Serenity adults-only area. The main difference between Carnival Splendor and its Conquest-class cousins is that the former has an enlarged and redesigned top deck area.
We at CruiseMates have always said that what ships need is better ways for like-minded individuals to meet on ships. You could have people from your high school just down the hall and not even realize it. It is a small world, and as far as we are concerned, Carnival is just helping to make it a friendlier place – not to mention the practical aspects of such a system.
That's more ships than any other major cruise line except Royal Caribbean, which will have 28 vessels in service by the summer of 2024. (On Lido deck 10) were added RedFrog Rum Bar (rum bar for frozens and beers, plus the Carnival's private label ThirstyFrog Red (draught beer). There are connecting staterooms in both ocean-view and interior categories, as well as the spacious new deluxe ocean-view staterooms. The attire on cruises became decidedly less formal at the end of the 2000’s, and now even formal nights are merely suggestions. While jeans aren’t technically allowed in the dining room no one is going to stop you from entering.
Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon and Carnival Panorama also feature Italian eatery Cucina Del Capitano, as well as JiJi Asian Kitchen, while Carnival Venezia has an Italian restaurant called Il Viaggio. The Carnival fleet is scheduled to grow over the next year with two more new vessels. As noted above, the line has ordered a third Excel-class ship (Carnival Jubilee) that will be ready to sail in December 2023. If cruising in a more intimate environment is your preference, you'll want to look at some of Carnival's older classes of ships including the Spirit and Fantasy classes. Instead, Carnival usually takes an incremental approach to design changes for its new classes of ships.
