Cruise Ship Review of the Carnival Magic
Carnival Magic reviews all rave about the intriguing novelty and imaginative changes on traditional styles done on Magic compared with the other ships of Carnival Cruises. This mammoth ship made its debut last 2011 May and immediately became the high seas’ trendiest and most fashionable ship. Most of the facilities and amenities found on board Carnival Magic such as the Seaside Theater, the expansive and luxurious Cloud 9 spa, the family staterooms good for 5 guests and the Waterworks water park can also be found on board, Carnival Dream, Magic’s sister ship. But the new fabulous Carnival Magic offers a lot more than its sister ship. At the Italian restaurant, Cucina Del Capitano, singing waiters present handmaid noodles in the most entertaining way. Another new and novel addition to Carnival Magic is the first ever water dump bucket, a complementation to the waterslide.

The Red Frog Pub also earned a rousing Carnival Magic review from some of the cruise experts. It serves its very own homemade brew called Thirty Frog Red ale that was an instant success because of its flavorful and satisfying properties that the taps dried out during the inaugural sailing of Carnival Magic.
