Carnival Magic Review
Last Impression Much Better Than First Impression

Additional details
My husband and I live in Texas and we decided to sail on the Carnival Magic because it was a "new" ship, we liked the itinerary, and the convenience of driving to Galveston. Unfortunately, the itinerary did change due to tropical storm Sandy in the Caribbean. We last cruised twenty years ago on the Holland American Westerdam. After reading the many "pro and con" Magic reviews, we decided to go for it.
We chose to stay in a spa suite cabin with the VIP embarkation, so the embarkation process was a breeze. The first day on the ship was a "shocker" and very stressful for me. I guess that I was not expecting the impact of over 4000 "fun-loving" Carnival cruisers. By day two, we sought out the less crowed areas of the ship that better suited our lifestyle.
Listed below are the wonderful things that we experienced on the Magic.
Cabin Review
Spa Suite
We loved this spa suite!!! It is very spacious with a large double sink bathroom, plenty of closet space and an extra large balcony with a chaise and (2) chairs. It is located at the very forward of the ship on the starboard side. Thank goodness, all the spa cabins and balconies are non-smoking. The floor was so quiet and we were steps away from the spa elevator. The spa access and amenities are included. Also, you get VIP embarkation.
