Carnival Magic Review

Additional details
We vacationed on the so called "Ebola Cruise". No news here with that, Carnival handled everything perfectly. We are a family of five, DH 50s, DW 40's, DD 10, DS 9, and DD 5. We made the drive down from Denver and stayed the night before in Texas City. Highly recommend the area as you are real close to port in the morning and the rates are much less than Galveston.
Embarkation: They had warned it would be late, as they were loading equipment for the remodel of Camp Carnival, and they were right. However once it got started it went fast and smooth. We had purchased FTTF (Faster to the Fun) and that helped get us on board quick and right to our rooms were we dropped the bags and headed out to explore.
Rooms: We book two Deluxe Ocean View Rooms, Cat 6L, 1224 & 1226, that were adjoined. This allowed us some privacy and gave us two bathrooms, handy with children, and four showers, extremely handy before dinner. The rooms were spacious enough and the views from the window good. Other than hearing some waves hit the ship, the rooms were as quiet as can be. We did not have any problems with climate control in either room and there were no smells. Our room steward kept things tidy and neat.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean View
Terrific room. We also had 1226, adjoining. Very quiet. Occasion sound of the waves hitting the ship. Very convenient to the forward elevators, which will take you all the way to Deck 12, the only ones that do that. Also convenient to Deck 0, were you get on and off the ship for excursions. Having the two showers in the room is mighty convenient and with our other room, four could take a shower at once before dinner. The room is plenty big enough and comfortable, with lots of closet space.
