For those who bad-mouth the food on the Magic, I don't know what's wrong with you, we loved it! Even the buffet was great, the first day I had the best fish ever and thought about going back for seconds! Dinner (Anytime Dining) was a delight, we met Vitaly and stayed with him throughout the week, except for our forays into the Steakhouse (delicious) and Cucina de Capitano (absolutely delicious). We really loved our whole cruise, we traveled with our best friends and got rooms next to each other so we could open our balconies. Our only problem was the travel from California to Galveston -- with no airport there, my husband and I had to fly into Dallas and transfer to Houston, where we met our friends who traveled straight in from SFO, we flew out of Sacramento. While we were lucky to find a VERY reasonable shuttle to Galveston and back from the cruise to Houston, it made for very long travel days. We came into Galveston Saturday, stayed at the Hilton (beautiful property) and had dinner at Landry's which was wonderful, what a way to start our vacation! We had troubles getting home and, unfortunately, made up our minds that we won't sail out of Galveston -- or anywhere else that doesn't have a local airport. But we'll stick with Carnival, thank you for a memorable trip!

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8F

The room was fine, we could stow our luggage under the bed, that saved a lot of space. Storage space was more than adequate. We were glad we brought a plug extension, as we had a few devices to charge at any given time!
