dani_elizabeth Posted August 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Buffet, Pizza, Tandoor grill, Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana, Guys BBQ, Pasta bar @ Cucina. I think that covers it. Although I may have missed something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kctwinmommy Posted August 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Definitely try the Cucina restaurant. We did that on our embarkation day last fall. It was so quiet and relaxing, not busy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondback Posted August 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 7, 2017 If you want Guy's, go early! The line grows as people board and get settled. We saw the longest lines there on embarkation day. I saw the line snake past Blue Iguana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itolduso Posted August 7, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Isn't there a specialty salad bar option on the 5th deck? Sent from my SM-N920P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itolduso Posted August 7, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I have also found if you try to go to lunch at lunch time that's usually with everyone else's so you might want to try and make it either early or a little bit later. For the Mongolian Wok if you'd like that type of thing you want to get there at least 15 minutes before it opens because there will be a line the whole time it is open. Guys Burgers is open for a bit longer so their lines are not always as bad. Sent from my SM-N920P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reerun25 Posted August 7, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Also, deli! Along with the sandwiches, they also offer a hot dog at the deli too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does a smaller breakfast and lunch suggestion. Not sure if it is open on departure though. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazil65 Posted August 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Tandoor grill is our fav but not sure it is open first day, you could go to the Italian restaurant (normally upcharge) upstairs from Lido as is free for lunch on first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted August 7, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Tandoor grill is our fav but not sure it is open first dayI have no personal experience but I've asked that question a couple of times and gotten affirmative responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalaDragonflyLady Posted August 7, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Tandoor grill is our fav but not sure it is open first day, you could go to the Italian restaurant (normally upcharge) upstairs from Lido as is free for lunch on first day. Cucina is a free pasta bar at lunch every day, not just the first one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaz Posted August 7, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Also, deli! That's good to hear, as I don't think the Deli appears on the deck plans. Just booked Magic for next October and the ship really DOES seem to have a lot of dining choices...and most are free/included at lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a completely different restaurant at night. We love the dinner, but not crazy about the pasta bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted August 7, 2017 #18 Share Posted August 7, 2017 It is a completely different restaurant at night. We love the dinner, but not crazy about the pasta bar I am booked on Magic for August 26. Dinner reservations for Cucina for the first night. Supposed to get a free carafe of wine for dinner on the first or second night. Sent from my ASUS_Z01BDC using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuiser8349 Posted August 7, 2017 #19 Share Posted August 7, 2017 There was no free wine on the Sunshine in March in the Cucina,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2trvlnow Posted August 7, 2017 #20 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Everything is open. Not exactly correct. The main dining room is not open on embarkation day. They did have it open on the Dream for a very short time but that is history. Maybe you are thinking about Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandemcruzr Posted August 8, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Everything is open. Wrong. MDR is not open on Embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbxking Posted August 8, 2017 #22 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Question along this line also.. I see everyone mentioning the Tandoor Grill on Magic, but on Carnivals website it does not list it on Magic. Maybe I missed it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted August 8, 2017 #23 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) https://www.carnival.com/cruise-food/tandoor Note how Carnival Magic is the third item on that list on the left. Hard to see because of how Cruise Critic forces me to compress the image, but its there in the upper right. Edited August 8, 2017 by bUU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going thru those, but for some reason it did not give that to me as an option!! I was reviewing all dining options but it did not appear :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
