choosing between carnival magic and carnival horizon

[mmb3124]

They're very similar ships. We like them both. A lot. Here's why I prefer the Horizon, just a tad.

 

* I really enjoy craft beer. The onboard brewery is awesome. Huge plus.

 

* We enjoyed the Pig & Anchor, as a full menu, alternative dining option....as opposed to just a sea day lunch.

 

* Most of all, CCL has gone out of their way to put very comfy, shaded seating, on the Vista class, external promenade / lanai deck. The deck exists on Magic, but the seating isn't nearly as nice. For those of us that like being outside....but not necessarily in the sun / by the pool, this is a great area.

I've sailed both - I'd choose the Horizon.

We had a Havana Cabana. Yes, quiet but not anything like Serenity. You see the same people all week. You learn their names and have conversations over & over. It's great.The service is excellent.
