If you're that worried maybe don't post or set up an alternate name that you do not share with anyone 

A request for a table for two. Can usually be approved, however, the table next to you will be 6" away at the furthest.

Check out Larry's Limos  

We got our letter with raised seal and goodie bag on May 4-12 cruise. Also for invites to the Diamond Meet and Greet as well as the Diamond & Platinum Meet and greet

Also on The Magic MAy 4-12. This was our second time on the Magic. The first time was in January.

First Cruise

Worst Cabin Steward ever

Food was ok

Italian Restaurant was awful. (Have never had a decent meal in this restaurant on any Carnival ship) last time going there

Service throughout the ship was good except MDR

Never noticed dirty or extremely used look anywhere

Second Time

Best Cabin Steward ever 

Food was the same no noticeable different

Service in the MDR was noticeably Worse

still didn't notice heavily used or dirty Areas

would sail her again

Just request what you want.  The bartenders can not read your minds

JUST DON'T BUY IT. 

Tried this restaurant on several ships.

Never had a decent meal

Smart elevators only work with smart people

Same thing happening in Miami weekend the weekend is October 20

Thank you 

Never done Lyft or Uber pick up from port of Miami where do you get pick up  after you get off the ship.

For RCI out of Tx only certain bottled may be used that have had state tax paid on them.  So limited drink menu at the start 

This is the case with carnival also. Very limited Brands available.  Almost all of these are Bar Pour Brands that most people have never heard of.  I think People that purchase Cheers would be upset about not being able to get the brands they want so Carnival states that Cheers does not start till day 2 of the cruise

Off the vista today, there were 57 diamonds onboard

How do you know this 

Yes

Being this was an Hawaiian cruise, the differences could be because of the sales tax that is charged could be different for each island, while no sales tax is charged while "at sea"

In January this year both HAL and Princess had tables set up at the Hilton

Marina in Ft Lauderdale for cruisers staying at this hotel

Price is 10% higher when you book on board

Thought Chibangs was better than most restaurants on board

The steaks can be quite good but yeah that's a good plan. 

 

In the past the cost was a good bit cheaper than a land steakhouse, but that's not really true anymore.

Then you don't live in a large metropolitan city.  The $49 cost per person can be less than half of a decent steak house in the states

I used to really enjoy the piano bar.  Now, not so much.

 

With a few exceptions, I don't think the musicians are as talented as I have experienced in the past.  Often there are a handful of cruisers who take over all of the good seats every night and monopolize the song requests.

 

And while I love the international aspect of the entertainment staff on Carnival, the last time I visited a piano bar, the performer's accent was so heavy, I was having trouble understanding what he was saying/singing.  He also distributed a rather limited list of songs, and apparently only wanted to take requests from that list.

As one of the handful of cruisers that take up all the good seats, you can always get to the piano Bar Earlier.  We usually get to the venue 45-60 minutes before stated start time so we get the seats we want.

If that's what you meant then you should have been more specific in you initial question. What your looking for isn't available. What's been posted here is what's available now. I'm literally typing this while waiting on the Celebration for the first Elegant Night. 

I knew what he meant

Why 

The simple answer is you can't end if discussion

as soon as you get your slip why would you have to wait till the last day to get your cash
