cruisinskier Posted May 14, 2011 Author #102 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Once we were in the terminal things moved very efficiently. We had arrived fairly early so not sure what it was like later in the day. We received our Sign & Sail card (they were still doing some training) and had our photo taken and then we were on our way to board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinskier Posted May 14, 2011 Author #103 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Given this was the inaugural cruise, there was no one in the cabins so we were able to go directly to our cabin. We were in balcony cabin 8457. I have to say that we were very happy with the size of the cabin and there was tons of storage room for the 2 of us. I tried to capture photos of items of interest within the cabin but let me know if you have any specific questions as I have lots more photos than what I am posting here. insert card for power...good idea!

falkcor Posted May 14, 2011 #110 Share Posted May 14, 2011 great review thus far! i've thoroughly enjoyed the photos in and around murano / venice, and very much look forward to the same sort of detail from around the ship and your subsequent port stops. thanks for all the time and work you're putting into bringing us this, one of the very first, reviews from the carnival magic :D i'll be sure to check back for updates, kudos! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnvattes Posted May 14, 2011 #111 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Loving this! Thank you for taking the time to post so much information and so many pictures. I keep calling my hubby to the computer and saying, "Babe, can we please go here??" :) I keep wondering about the Boppy I keep seeing in the pictures. No mention of your baby in your posts at all... but now realizing -- that's not a Boppy, is it??? It's a travel neck roll, right??? :D DOH! (can you guess I'm a mom of young kiddos?????)

cruisinskier Posted May 14, 2011 Author #114 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Once we had checked out the room, it was time for some food. We made our way to the Lido deck to check out the buffet...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1965 Posted May 14, 2011 #117 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yea! Can't wait to read more about the Magic. We're doing the TA in Oct. I just posted a question about juevos rancheros, of all things. I'll post it here since you are now on the Magic. My husband loves them and is wondering if they are offered in either the buffet or MDR for breakfast. Reading your post is getting my blood pumping. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I am not able to assist as I disembarked the ship as of May 10. However our new friend Sargent Shultz also has a review going on these boards and he is doing a BTB so is still onboard. You may try posting this question to him. Glad you are enjoying the review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinskier Posted May 14, 2011 Author #120 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Given we spent a large portion of the cruise in Italy enjoying authentic Italian food, we did not feel the need to try to new Italian eatery onboard. I did however drop by to take a few pics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinskier Posted May 15, 2011 Author #123 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Juices in the morning (I really enjoyed the Orange, Passion Fruit & Guava....brought back great memories of drinking POG while in Hawaii last year!) And drinks with lunch / dinner Just outside the buffet at the back, there was the Tandoor option for lunch As well as the deli (at breakfast they make omelettes here....and there was never a lineup so check it out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
