Carnival Magic Review

Additional details
Carnival Magic 1 to 8 September 2013, Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.
I've been on nine cruises, this being only my second on Carnival, and generally had mid-level expectations. We specifically waited for school to start before taking our cruise. Room 8316 was fine location only noise was from other guests allowing their balcony and cabin doors to slam. Double or triple pane windows blocked out hot tub noise directly three floors below sticking out on promenade deck.
Food was a notch up from previous Carnival cruise but still lacking as most crew ships on desserts. Our waiters Dennis and Jorge were super. The dining room menu was a little limited but still had adequate variety. The Lido buffet was lacking in variety and taste. The Italian specialty restaurant was good, and the steakhouse was excellent.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Room 8316, great room. I avoided being near side deck hot tub toward rear of boat but failed to notice we would be 3 floors directly above the forward tub. Thankfully the tubs close at 10 and even better, double pane windows shut out all noise from tub and others on balconies. That is all but slamming doors! We never heard anyone above, below or beside us, not even a toilet flush.We also had rooms 8312 and 8304 which has a connecting door. AVOID connecting rooms as the doors are as if they were not there for noise.
