Carnival Magic Review

Additional details
Embarkation, well I guess that makes me start with the tough part. We were in the terminal literally sitting butt cheek to butt cheek and knee to knee and I am not as limber or small as I used to be. The crew was very nice and accommodating, They brought us snacks and bottled water. We sailed cheap so we were some of the last called to board.
We were informed we could bring 12 soda and 12 bottles of water.. they took our water.
Once on the ship, food everywhere and everything was so knew, we were just taking it all in.
Cabin Review
Interior
We go cheap. Our room was an interior, but how much are you really in your room. We have debated ocean view, balcony or suits, but we really aren't sailing to be in our rooms. Our room was about as central to the ship as it could be. We received, I believe, as good service as anyone in any suit on the ship..You know I hear a lot of folks concerned about clocks, alarm clocks and the darkness in the room at night. Night lights..etc....
There are channels on the TV, you can watch where we are going and see whats going on at the main pool.. Live action.. If I remember right, it had the local time and forecasts. Otherwise, the tv on gives off light. The bathroom has a light and you can close it to adjust the light. Who needs to bring a light? or clock on vacation.
Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
We walked around the shops. We were very unfamiliar but we went to the pool, found a cool bar and Melissa had a fresh drink made out of a raw coconut
Grand Turk
We chilled on the clear water at the beach.. we could see the ship. We found jager and several local drinks. Great time.. Melissa had her hair done.. Probably wont do that again
St. Thomas
We walked through the town and shops. aah, unfamiliar, didn't care for the bar scene. We found a local shop. We bought a few things including jager,, had a few and went to the ship.
