...Strange, never saw $10 min bet for Craps on Carnival before, and I play all the time. Were the tables busy all week? Perhaps this was a Premier Casino week with some bigger players sailing.

We played at least once/day for 5 days and it was $10 each time. I never asked the dealers if this was the new norm. No, the table was not always busy. It was empty most of the time during the days (if open at all) and busy off and on at night.

The table seemed busier with a $5 min when we sailed on the Magic a couple years ago.

Just an FYI for other low rollers...The Min Bet was $10 on our Carnival Magic Cruise 3/30/2014 - 4/6/2014. It was $5 on our other cruises (2009 and 2012).

Poker is still $1/$2 NL.

Fabulous review!! We are sailing out Sunday and are SOO excited!! Where so they do the Chocolate extravaganza at?? Lido or the MDR??

I called the players club number and gave them the number on the offer they sent me. Got a better rate, the credit (which was on the offer) and the drinks are on us card. When we get on the ship, I just go to the cage when they open, give them my card I got in the mail and they will give us the credit on our SS cards and a sticker for our card too.

We booked our upcoming cruise on a Saturday and the following Monday I recv'd a casino offer in the mail. Called and got a better rate, Casino credit and drinks are on us card!! I LOVE CARNIVAL!! :D

Another helpful hint for the Rum runners- Squeeze all the air out after filling them and pack them with your toiletries in your checked luggage. Distribute your smuggled spirits amongst all pieces of your checked luggage so if one gets checked and you get caught, you will still have other liquor for your needs. We also use the shamp-booze bottles, which work fabulously. My rumrunners have made it on 7 cruises undetected and are getting ready for their 8th voyage in a month!! :D

I am making it a point to hit up every bar on the ship so what one doesn't have I am sure another will. I do know if you ask nicely and give a tip, they will usually fetch one up for you if they don't have one there handy. When I got my blowfish, they were walking around the Lido with the DOD in them.

I will check out the disco then to see about getting one!! :D

And there is a new blue fish I am after, and then my collection is complete! The disco ball is still the best though LOL

Disco Ball??!!?? OH I would love to have one of those!! Can you still get them?

Im getting one as soon as I get on the Magic in March!! I want a coconut one too. I have the blowfish!!:D

Maybe you should just take your little ones and sail on Disney cruises then.. they never have any "horror" stories...:rolleyes:

Let us keep our Magic. She is a beautifull ship. I love her.... Yes it needs to add the taco bar and Guys and it will be perfect....

Oh my goodness- I couldn't agree more!! The Magic needs to stay right where its at. Galveston is a fantastic port and its the perfect home for the Lady Magic. I could easily see the Freedom taking the place of the Triumph though.

Not totally sure, but according to the posts on the Pier 23 Cam, it was pretty late.

We are on this same cruise!! :D Just Google Zydecocruiser and Magic MDR menu. There you will find the basically what they serve. Also there was a poster here- Coltsmom, that had the funtimes posted for the same itinerary we are doing. It may help.

Yes it is- left side

We are on the March 30th Cruise too!! I would love to see the Funtimes as well. Cant wait!!

No, its not by Pleasure pier- its on the other side of the island right next to the Harbor House hotel.

We only been on 2 - the Magic and the Freedom.. Getting ready to sail the Magic again. I love that ship. The Freedom was okay but pales in comparison to the Magic. Sailing RCCI Oasis in October and Im sure I will love that one too. :D

I booked our upcoming cruise on a Saturday and the following Monday got an offer in the mail to book at a Casino Rate and with casino credit. Called them got the rate and was told to go to the casino cage with the cards we rec'v in the mail for the casino credit and to get my on Us card for the cruise. I was astounded to get this. We last cruised in 2012 on the magic and I guess I won enough to qualify for this!! :cool:

I found video of this type of room on Youtube last week. Great room for the number in your group with its 2 bathrooms. One even has a bathtub!!

Can you post a link to the harbor cam??

I just bought a Fuji XP60 tough at Sams club yesterday. Waterproof and came with a card and a case. Cant wait to use it in March. Very easy to use. :)

I hope we don't have this problem at the end of March when we sail!! If I was sitting there waiting to get on the ship I would be hating it!!!

Thank you for sharing!! My husband really wanted to get a cove balcony but Im a little paranoid about being that close to the water. :eek: Did it seem like you had a lot of movement from the ship in that stateroom?? I was thinking that it would be less than having a stateroom on a higher deck.

Is there a Guy's on the Magic?? Does anyone know?? I really want to try it out!!
