(1) BACKGROUND
I am a 22 year old soon to be college graduate from central Texas. Go Texas State Bobcats! :) This was my 7th cruise (4th with Carnival). Other ships that I have travelled on include: Carnival- Celebration and Conquest (2x), and Royal Caribbean- Voyager OTS, Freedom OTS, and Oasis OTS (amazing! try it out if you haven't!). For this trip I travelled with my mom (got old after 9 days and over 30 hours total on planes) and we chose this sailing and ship because of the price. Was it worth the price? YES. Was I impressed? NO with the ship, YES with the ports.
Since Magic is coming and staying Galveston very soon, I'll try to direct as much to the Texas/Caribbean market as possible.
9276- Balcony stateroom. The room is very nice. Basically your basic balcony room. This particular room is right off the main elevators so it can be loud at times, however since our trip was so busy we weren't in the room much and when we were we were so tired that sleeping was not a problem.
