br7210 Posted December 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looking for tips on the L-shaped cabins on Carnival Magic. Is this a good choice? Which level is best/levels to avoid? Any suggestions for what side of the boat is best? Etc....Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehillcruiser Posted December 13, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 13, 2013 We will be in 7455 in March. We love the l shapes ,as we spend a lot of time on our balcony,and it is much larger..This area of the ship is very quiet with very little traffic..We prefer deck 7 as you have cabins above and below, cannot speak for deck 6. There are only two on deck 7, 4 on deck 6 , and I believe two on deck 8. These are usually booked way in advance. Some people do not like the room layout , but we do. The bathroom is not right next to the closets which I prefer.On the Triumph recently we had two loungers and two regular chairs on our balcony..If you do not use your balcony a lot , then no big deal..

Any suggestions for what side of the boat is best? Etc....Thanks in advance. Sailed on Magic in Oct in an L shaped cabin on deck 8 port side aft. Nice balcony but cabin was tight with no sofa or coffee table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezersgirl Posted December 14, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) I love the L-shaped cabins! The layout is wonderful. We had one on deck 6 on the Magic in 2012 and have another L-shaped booked on deck 8 for our cruise in January. I actually like not having the sofa, I think it feels roomier. I also love that the bed faces out towards the ocean. Not to mention the extra big balcony :) Edited December 14, 2013 by geezersgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overthehillcruiser Posted December 14, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Will do. Another thing I like about the location, and this is crazy, but when you go out your cabin door you can't go the wrong direction, as I sometimes do when our cabin is mid ship.. overthehillcruiser I am looking at cabin 7455 myself.

You can't see both lounge chairs in the photo, but there are 2 and 2 regular.There is a lot more space behind me from where I took the photo that you can't see. imag Edited December 14, 2013 by overthehillcruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meyer2 Posted January 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I have a L shaped cabin on my June sailing on Deck 8 Room 8469.. Im beyond excited to have and extra large balcony.. Anyone have pictures? We stayed in 8469 on the Magic Dec. 2011. We loved it & have it booked again. We enjoy the L shape cabins. I have lots more pictures of the room in my review, if you would like to see more. Edited January 22, 2014 by Meyer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alley1908 Posted January 22, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks Meyer2!!! My Bf just informed me that he switched the room to the opposite side.. So our room is now 8462!! However, I'm sure since they mirror each other that they look alike!! How was the motion back there? Did the balcony accumulate soot? I've heard horror and love stories lol!! I'm just ready to experience it for myself!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatescapes Posted January 22, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We had an L shaped cabin last may on the Magic on deck 7 and it was awesome. Best room I have had on board any ship so far. I would not hesitate to book it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin 4 Ever Posted August 13, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Is the cabin itself the same size as the other balcony cabins? It looks smaller in the diagram. I am considering changing my room to one of these just to have the bigger balcony. Right now I am aft but closer to mid ship. Any downside to these cabins?

Jgilbert813 Posted August 14, 2014 #21 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I just got off the Dream last month and had cabin 7455 - should be the same layout. Great balcony! Loved having a lounger on the balcony. Peaceful and wonderfully restfull. The only major drawback were no couch (not a huge deal for us) and just that it was a loooooong walk to the front of the ship. All in all, worth every penny - made for a fantastic week.
