Thanks for all the reviews. We are sailing on the Magic in 2 weeks! We have been on many other ships, but this will be our first time on the Magic. We will be in a spa cabin. Can't wait!

I'm interested in finding out more about this port too. We are cruising in June and I've been trying to do some research. I read some reviews on Trip Advisor and the waterfall excursion sounds exciting, but a little dangerous. I'd like to know more about it!

I agree. That area is so nice. Last year when we cruised it was quiet. Loved being able to walk a few steps and be out on the front of the ship! Also, being close to the gym and spa area was convenient. We spent our sailing days on the serenity deck also very nice and close to our cabin!

Hi, we were on the Dream. We had the white rubber bracelets to get into spa area.

My teenage son and I stayed in 11219 and next door 11223 is a 4 person interior and it was a Dad and three kids. They were so loud you could hear them all the time. Not the level of class I expected, but he was traveling on his exwife dime. She was in Spa balcony down the hall with younger boy toy. She wasn't classy either. And her mom and younger boyfriend had a spa balcony too. Exwife and ex hubby fights brought security to the spa floor several times and she made the room stewardess cry. I don't remember what she did to her but it wasn't nice... Sorry ..l I got side tracked. The Dream spa area is nice. The indoor pool is relaxing but kids can't use I would sail Dream again for Spa. I didn't do Spa on Sunshine because it lacks the Dream extras. You should at least try and get your kids in a cabin closer than deck 8. That's a long way away.

Wow. I hope that doesn't happen on our cruise! I'm glad you still had a good time. We don't have young children so it's just us. We stayed in that area last year because we were bumped up to cabin 11203 which was huge! Thanks for the info!

Hi Kajunswty,

We just booked Carnival Dream cabin 11217. How did you like that cabin when you stated there? Was it nice. Last year we were offered an upgrade ( for additional cost) in 11203. It was a very nice cabin. Just curious.

Thanks!

Thanks, I think it's going to work out fine. It will be nice to have the portholes too because we've always just been inside with no windows.

Yeah those other cabins were already booked so we went with 2216. I had read a lot about it beforehand so I felt it would work for us. Also there were some OBC incentives that made it a better deal!

No problem LadyCruiser! Thanks so much for the info.

Matter of fact we have great friends on this cruise!

Thanks y'all! The pictures all make me feel like we made the right choice with this cabin. We were a little worried about having the twin and sofa sleeper. Got a great deal though at the last minute so we are excited!

That's great! The room looks a little more spacious than a regular inside cabin. It must be the shape of the room idk. The sofa bed looks basically like another twin when it's made up. I appreciate the photos! Have a great time on your future cruise!

Thanks so much. May I ask what the sofa bed was like? Were you traveling alone or did someone actually use the sofa bed? I'm excited that it has portholes too!

Oh good! Thanks so much! That sounds similar to the other things I've read and heard.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think we have decided to go to the all inclusive Sunset Beach Resort. We have been there once before and we enjoyed it.

That sounds like it could work! Thanks so much for the idea.

We are booked in this cabin for an upcoming trip June 2014 and wanted to get some more feedback from others who have stayed here. I have read some reviews and it seemed mostly positive. We booked last minute and were trying to stay within a budget so this cabin fit the criteria. However, we realize it's not ideal for a married couple. We were aware of this beforehand. Hope it all works out!

Thanks so much for the great info. I will pass it on to all the others traveling in our group. Glad y'all had a good trip!

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I'm new to cruise critic so still getting used to it. We are sailing on the Carnival Dream out of N.O. We have been to Jamaica on a previous cruise and did the Sunset Beach Resort day pass. We were just looking for other options this time. I'm still researching.

Thanks again!

Hi

We are sailing on the Dream in June and still have not booked an excursion in Jamaica. Any suggestions?
