Yes you do self-assist and the info regarding this will be in your cabin the night before. They usually call for self assist people around 6-7am.

That would be wonderful.

Thank you for the excellent review. I will be on the Magic in 32 days for my B2B. I sailed the Glory in February, and the aft pool was adults only. A bit disappointed to hear that kids are allowed in the aft pool on the Magic. I guess the area to hang is either the Serenity area or deck 5 hot tubs. 

Definitely.  Our balcony cabin (8378) overlooked one of the deck 5 hottubs, and they were never really busy, and we could always find a lounge on deck 5.    Serenity was very busy, as were the hottubs there.

We just got off the Magic on Saturday.  Did self assist.  Waited in main theater until shipped cleared.  we arrived at airport by taxi @ 7:30

When using the Carnival HUB app to reserve a table in Your Time Dining, can you specify a table for 2 or 4?

Was on the Magic 3 weeks later (2/29/20).  Issue then was if we would be able to leave the ship because of the virus scare.  Fortunately, there were no reported cases and we left the ship in the normal manner.  After that, it got messy.

 

I have 23 cruises and all were with Carnival.  Second time on the Magic.  Like you said, it is a good ship and no major complaints.

 

Funny how all of us have our favorite activities and others we don't bother with.  Now I am a Bingo person and never miss a game.  Not having the $30 Bingo Card option would bother me.  So Carnival should cut off a couple of cards from the bigger sheet so you don't have to pay $40.  Seems like I solved that problem rather easily for Carnival.  

 

I see you are a pool person.  We never use the pools on the ship.  We live in Florida and have our own pool so it's no big deal with us.  Good to see, however, so many people enjoying the pools.  It also makes for more space at the other locations.

 

As for the Casino, I started a new policy.  I never seem to win much so I took $150 of Florida scratch off cards instead.  The payoff is about 55% and sure enough I brought that amount home with me.  That made me feel like a big winner.  I was actually bringing some money home and having the fun of doing several cards each day of the cruise.  Then there is also that chance of winning a $1,000,000 to pay for all your future cruises.  Since you have to cash all the winning cards in Florida, you are not tempted to spend it all.

 

Am now booked on the Horizon.  One in 2021 and another in 2022 assuming all the virus problems go away.  Never thought I would ever see such problems.  

 

Good review and thanks.
