Enjoying your review so far. Can't wait to read more. I'm excited to sail the Vista when she gets to Galveston!

I take my yeti cup everywhere with me on the ship. Sometimes it has soda, sometimes alcohol and many times just ice water. But it goes everywhere with me!

We did this just last week on The Magic... The only downfall was two trips to Guest Services to get the cards right... They were beeping loudly when the two that were changed tried to get on or off in ports... Eeek...

Oh I HATE that I didn't get to meet you! I begged hubby to take the table decoration with him since I knew I might be late but he wouldn't. :( We never did really sit at tables, we just stayed at the bar.

 

We almost did the Italian place but I had read a bad review on it--so we didn't go. I wish now we had, it looked nice.

 

We had a great time, I hope I didn't sound too negative. I was just trying to give my honest experience. I'm already peeking at cruises for "next time!" And I would love to try the Breeze when it gets to Galveston. The only way we will do Carnival again I think is on a ship with the upgrades.

We sat in the bar for a bit... Then headed outside to enjoy the weather... My girlfriend and I kinda thought it was you when you walked in... ;) But since I wasnt sure I wasnt gonna ask... Leave it to me... Im usually not the one to be shy... LOL

Maybe we will have a chance to meet again one day... After all we do both live in Texas... :)

Very Cool... :)

Love Love Love the Cove Balcony...

And to which itinerary to pick... If the boat docks in Montego Bay, Jamaica... I say pick the other... If it docks in Falmouth, Jamaica... Go for it... VERY nice port...

Had a Cove Balcony on our first Magic Cruise and it was wonderful... MUCH netter than regular balconies in my opinion...

So sad that we didn't get to meet... I was there... And saw ya'll... But wasn't sure, so didn't say anything... :(

Your review was spot on... The Magic disappointed me this time around... When I was on her last she was new... This time not so much...

We had The Steakhouse the first night and I truly enjoyed my Chocolate Sampler... But speaking with some others that had it later in the week they said it wasn't the same???

The Italian Dinner was my highlight... And it was AWESOME just like the first time we had it... From beginning to end...

Tandoori would have to be our second favorite... But I was sad that the last couple days they didn't have my favorite... The Peas and Potatoes...

The Casino was awful... Always crowded and I almost never heard of anyone winning anything... And you could forget ordering drinks... Ugh...

I was spoiled on my 21 day on The Triumph last month for sure... Best CARNIVAL CRUISE food ever... And the service staff was GREAT!!!

Hmmmm... I was just there last week... Had a wonderful visit... Even shopped around the port area by myself...

3 is the most I have planned at one time... But I would love to retire on a cruise ship as well... My hubby hasn't hopped on that idea yet though... :(

We had three adults and a 2 year old on our last cruise... And opted for a suite... Not a whole lot of extra room... But plenty for us, and we were onboard for 21 days!!!

If your kids like a bath in an actual tub, the suites offer this... ;)

On Carnival Ships they will punch a hole and put it on a string for you in the casino... ;)

We are also on the B2B from Galveston to San Juan and San Juan to Galveston leaving Feb. 9th and returning March 2nd...

This is my first B2B... But I am pretty excited about a longer cruise from Galveston to alot of the Southern and Eastern Caribbean...

My grandson is a "grazer" and likes his snacks... I have never had a problem packing them in the luggage... ;)

My deepest condolences...

I would for sure call Carnival... See what they suggest...

Welcome to the forum... And HAPPY Cruising... :)

Heck, I am less than two weeks out of a 21 day cruise, and I havent even began to prepare... LOL

If I forget anything, I will still have a wonderful time... LOL

I like to prepay to get it out of the way... I dont want those charges along with any others I get onboard!!!

I have never had a problem, and neither has my kiddo... But for sure I would take steps to prevent it if yall are prone to any kind of motion sickness... Not a way I would want to spend vacation... Hugging the toilet or in bed!!!

Glad you got them back and can stop stressing and start planning... :) Enjoy your cruise!!!

We have always been taken care of on any of our Carnival Cruises by the casino... Whether we booked on a Casino offer or not...

Been on one premier cruise and am thinking about another as I type... The first one was alot better deal... But Any free money is good to me... :D

We LOVED our Cove Balcony on The Magic in 2012... It is not scary at all... They are a bit more shaded since the lifeboats hang just above them, but they are also more "private"... And you cannot beat the price!!!

My first cruise was on Commodore... And I LOVED everything about it... The Food was excellent, the Service beyond Excellent... Geesh... Why did they go under???

Carnival has been my choice since then as the husband and I like to gamble and we get plenty of great perks from the casino... Plus we save enough on our fares to have plenty of spending money too... ;)

Sure hope they are able to help ya out... Good Luck and Safe Travels...
