During drydock 2021, the ship's Casino was expanded (with a greater variety of slots and other games), also were refreshed the WaterWorks aquapark and Lido Deck's swimming pools. And then there’s BlueIguana Cantina™ where you can enjoy delicious and fresh Mexican fare, and have fun building your tacos or burritos from a wide range of tasty ingredients.

Carnival Magic was the second Dream-class vessel in the row of four, in 2011, and is the overall smallest ship among the class, though not by much. (The ship weighs in at only 4 GT less than Carnival Breeze.) Since the ship isn’t that old, it’s only received one dry docking phase, in 2016, which simply upgraded a few public areas.

Stingrays and Sharks are more active, with dodgeball games and Jenga challenges, scavenger hunts and paper airplane contests.

Deck 2
On this page are the current deck plans for Carnival Magic showing deck plan layouts, public venues and all the types of cabins including pictures and videos. If you are looking for privacy, Carnival Magic has 110 Cove Balcony staterooms on Deck 2 located under the lifeboats, so other passengers can't see the balconies from public spaces or from balconies higher up. The cabins in this category are cheaper than a regular balcony cabin and are a good choice for those who like privacy and who don't mind some sea spray.

Conversely, balcony cabins on Deck 6 will be directly above the promenade deck and will hear noise from the bars at night and restaurant venues during the day. On Carnival Magic, Deluxe Ocean View staterooms are a great choice for families who want to let the sun shine in as they sail. Rooms in this category feature great views, a full bathroom — plus a separate washroom — and while stateroom configurations vary, certain Deluxe Ocean View rooms have space to sleep up to five cruisers. Carnival Magic’s staterooms, even with this being a (somewhat) older ship, are pretty spacious, surprisingly.
When the cool ocean breeze hits your nose with the sweet smell of smoke, you know you better follow it to Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse. At this onboard, open-air spot, Guy's doin’ his authentic, real-deal barbecue, his way. Throw in his signature line of barbecue sauces and you’ve got a rockin’ sea day on deck. This is an affordable way to cruise without leaving out the comfort or convenience! Great for curling up after a long day of fun.Dedicated stateroom attendant, Soft, cozy linens, Plenty of closet and drawer space, In-room safe for valuables, Television, Stateroom climate control. Seemingly endless eateries range from casual family-style dining to intimate dinners.
It makes things easy, though if you like viewing hundreds of other people's photos to find your own, you may be disappointed. We were surprised by the quality of books, including literary best-sellers, and games found in the ship's library on Deck 4\. It's located right outside the Northern Lights dining room and is a cozy and quiet place to get away.
As mentioned, the entire Carnival Dream class was impressively big at the time of launch, but that’s not the case now. Modern cruisers enjoy much larger vessels than these ships, which are now basically considered mid-range. Club O2 for the older set is a bit larger and airier, with a full array of gaming consoles, a dance floor, music-listening stations and soda bar, plus activities such as karaoke, dance classes and midnight mini-golf forays. One particularly cool area features banquettes with TV monitors suspended from the ceiling, the better to chat and gawk at videos at the same time.
In 2024, the parent company (Carnival Corporation) had ~51% stake in the US$64+ billion industry. Cucina del Capitano® is where you’ll want to go if you want to enjoy authentic Italian food, served up family style for that true family dinner feeling. For some lively fun by the pool, have a drink at RedFrog Rum Bar™, and you’ll definitely want to check out BlueIguana Tequila Bar™, where you can also try frozen tequila drinks and an assortment of refreshing Mexican beers. Within the ship you’ll find ample opportunities to watch dazzling shows, take part in fun game shows, try your luck at the casino, and much more. Those looking for a comparable itinerary and family-friendly vibe without the crowds are often drawn to Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas, which is slightly bigger and carries fewer passengers. Cabins on Mariner are more stylish and family entertainment is somewhat more impressive, but prices can be a little bit higher on Royal Caribbean’s cruise liner.
More thrills await adventure-seekers at the first ropes course at sea, with hundreds of feet of rope bridges, steps that swing and beams suspended high above the top deck. (On Lido deck 10) were added RedFrog Rum Bar (rum bar for frozens and beers, plus the Carnival’s private label ThirstyFrog Red (draught beer). Other new venues on Lido deck are BlueIguana Tequila Bar (Mexican-themed outdoor bar for frozens and beers) and the Pizzeria del Capitano (complimentary).
The real foodies who are curious about how the galley feeds so many people, have to check out Chef's Table. For US$75 per person, you'll be able to meet the head chef and tour the galley, as well as dine on a multi-course meal at a private table, while watching the chefs at work. Attending the daily RedFrog Pub trivia quiz -- it's cumulative, so you play with the same people for the entire cruise for a more intimate experience. Sticking to off-hours for dining and getting up early for morning coffee helped, as did making Deck 5, with its four hot tubs and relatively underutilized lounge chairs, our sunning headquarters.
Gamblers and smokers congregate at the sport bar in the middle. There are hundreds of slot machines, automated Texas Hold'em tables and gaming tables that cover roulette, craps, blackjack and poker. As befits a Fun Ship, the place keeps rocking long after nightfall. Dodge the numerous photo backdrops to stroll through Deck 5, which is where the bulk of the entertainment venues are located.
Inside, the Vibe nightclub and sections of the Hat Trick Casino are the only venues that allow smoking. There's also a chat feature for a fee that allows you to communicate with friends and family onboard, although we heard from many that messages came through on sometimes ludicrous time delays. The Gallery on the Way holds several Champagne art auctions, but if you want to create your own masterpieces (starring you, of course), you'll want to stop by the Photo Gallery on Deck 4\. You can still ogle at the photos of other sunburned cruisers lining the walls, but a facial-recognition system allows you to use your Sail & Sign card to find your smiling face at the Photo Finder kiosk.
On the first day of your Caribbean cruise when you board Carnival Magic® you’ll begin to get a sense of how spectacular, sensational, and magical she really is. From the top deck to the bottom and from bow to stern, Carnival Magic® is brimming with fun for the whole family throughout the entire length of your cruise vacation. Many passengers struggle to decide between Carnival Magic and Carnival Breeze when looking at Caribbean itineraries. Both are Dream-class ships, which means they’re similar in size and offerings.
We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of hot tubs on Carnival Magic. All in all, the ship has 10 – and that's not counting the thalassotherapy pool in the thermal suite. It almost, but not quite, makes up for the two teeny tiny pools. It wouldn't be a Fun Ship without a ton of bars, most with their own special atmosphere and crowd. Maybe it's the fact there were so many families onboard on our sailing, but we found people to generally be on the happy side of buzzed, with no obvious outbursts or overly drunken displays. The Hat Trick Casino is located in the main artery running through Deck 5, so unless you go down a deck to pass through (and avoid the smoke), you'll walk through at some point.
