Hubby is concerned he will miss football. But to answer your question about the channels...this is what they had on Glory and they seemed to be the same on magic. I think this is standard now.

Joe817 Posted December 28, 2019 #178 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Those were the exact same channels we had on the Dream last July. Sorry Charlie, no football on stateroom channels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We heard different arrival times etc. I know it is scheduled to arrival at 9AM, but others say it arrives much earlier. Have fun on your cruise. I’m posting the disembarkation info for both non -priority and priority that we received for our sailing. Have a great cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psone Posted December 28, 2019 #183 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I bought the fastest tier and set sail in 7 days. Will be curious to see if it exceeds the 13mbps you posted. Because that is plenty fast for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare itchintocruise Posted December 29, 2019 Author #189 Share Posted December 29, 2019 We decided to let Carnival take our luggage off the ship except one bag, so we waited in the Platinum area until they released us around 8:40ish. It was around 9:15 by the time we left the port area and on our way to LAX. Our flight was scheduled for 12:10, so we had plenty of time and no traffic issues. I will try to do a post trip wrap up tomorrow and answer any questions. Thanks for following along. Good night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did u take a shuttle to LAX?? If so which one?? How long did it take traveling to LAX?? I am taking Shutle6LAX, it was the most the most reasonable one price wise. I was shocked at the prices to go from Pier to Lax airport. I don't think I will be cruising the west coast in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the two free movie channels they run on a schedule. That schedule will be on the movie channels when no movie is on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare itchintocruise Posted December 30, 2019 Author #200 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Okay it's time for a quick wrap up of our trip. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the week off and spending it with our family. We probably won't do this itinerary again as we felt the weather was too cold for the outbound and inbound sea days. Plus 3 sea days is one too many. We felt like we couldn't take advantage of the outdoor ship activities as we have in the past on a Caribbean cruise. We kinda expected that while choosing this cruise, but we thought we might give it a chance. We certainly enjoyed Cabo and PV, but not a big fan of Mazatlan. The overall food selection was decent, but we have noticed a gradual decline in the selection of choices and quality in the included dining areas. As with all cruise lines, there is a push to encourage people to eat at the the pay per venues. The staff was great. Very friendly and accommodating, especially the dinning and kitchen staff who went out of their way for our food allergies. Kudos to Carnival. Obviously the ship is new and shiny and so we had no complaints. We had previously sailed on the Vista and Horizon so we knew what to expect. Up next we may gave the Mardi Gras a try. We are looking at either Christmas or New Years week next year. Thanks for following along this week and I hope that we were able to answer some questions and build up the cruise fever for others. Oh and one more thing, I want to give a shout out to American Airlines for buying us a new piece of luggage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
