This is AWESOME! Thank so much! :D:D:D

Someone just got back from their Magic cruise on April 30th. The thread is titled Carnival Magic review April 23-30, 2016 Here is the post, (I'm not sure if the link will work): http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2352218 The day one fun times are on the thread as a PDF. I am hoping the rest will come later.

I booked my cruise last summer for this summer and the ship changed. They moved the Magic to Port Canaveral. So my cruise was showing as sold out. Turns out that they were just readjusting the cabins scheduled on the other ship to resign to the Magic. In about a week it was back on sale except with Magic as apposed to the original ship. I don't know if this is your case, but it's a thought.

PDF's for day 1 Fun Times attached

Thanks so much. I have been waiting for these to be posted somewhere. Glad you had a good time. Thanks for the review too!

So far I am on crutches, with a brace, staying off of it and waiting for the swelling to go down. I may end up in a plaster cast, I'll know in a couple of days.

If they end up putting a cast on, do not get a plaster cast. They have cast made of fiberglass. With the fiberglass cast you can get a waterproof cast liner (the ones we use in my office are called Gore-tex liners). With the waterproof liners you can shower and even go swimming without any problems. I stinks to have a cast on vacation, but at least you'd be able to enjoy the pool and the fiberglass casts come in different colors too. Good luck!

We also used Dean Chinnery's services a few weeks ago. FANTASTIC!! We've been on a couple of open-air taxi tours in the past & they were fun but we saw so much more with Dean. We were able to go where WE wanted to go & see what WE wanted to see. All of our questions were answered. He gave us a great tour!

I'm just curious if the prices are the same $25 per person this year. We only have 2 people though. How long did he take you around for? Also, was it just the island or did he take you shopping as well? Thanks so much!

I just came across another post regarding review of an 80s theme cruise. I didn't read it, but you may be interested.

My first cruise was a Twilight (book series/movies) cruise. We only had half the ship so it may not be exactly the same, but it was fantastic. It's so much more fun when everyone is there with the same interests. The activities are based on the theme so you know you will enjoy them. A lot of people decorated the outside of their doors. I think you should book it if the theme is something you are passionate about.

To comment about how many people are on the ship, it would vary. Sometimes the entire ship is for that theme so the amount of people would depend on how big the ship is. In my experience we only had half the ship, so I'm guessing it depended on how many people decided to book it and how many blocked cabins the organizer had.

Is there any? She's not gone on her first voyage from Canaveral yet.:eek: She's still in port now.

Well that is a fantastic reason as to why I can't find them. LOL. Thank you!

Does anyone know where I can get the recent Fun Times for Magic? I've looked everywhere and can't find any. TIA!

Have you looked into portable umbrellas? They're are some out there that are very easy to carry and the ships allow them on board with you. I'm gonna guess you can't use it on board, but you can bring them onto the beach with you and not worry about leaving early to find one. It sounds like you would use it often as well so one may be worth the money. Her is an example of what I am talking about, but there are many out there. http://www.sport-brella.com/sport-brella

We just did this excursion last week. The catamaran we went out on had stairs they lowered feom rhe front center of the catamaran. About two steps were actually below the water and there were rope "hand rails" on both sides. A guide also stayed in the water to give a little boost to anyone needing help...but I didn't see anyone truly struggle to get out of the water.

Thank you so much! That helps a lot. We are going to book with them now. I'm looking foward to it. :):)

Thank you so much. That is a very useful link.

Can anyone tell me where the laundry room is on deck 7 of Carnival Magic? TIA!

Hi all. I am looking to book the Catamaran Sailaway, Beach, & Snorkel excursion offered from Oasis Divers through Carnival. I was wondering if anyone has been on their boats and how easy it is to get back on the boat from in the water? TIA!

I'm glad you were able to get it straightened out. I can add some insight to it. I booked with carnival and the person handling our booking said that the day the email went out they weren't able to see any of the cabins since it was still being converted to the new ship. It took a few days for the carnival people to be able to change cabins so it probable showed sold out to everyone else.

Does anyone have a link to the daily Fun Times for a 4 day cruise aboard the Sensation? I can't find anything remotely recent. TIA!

We now ask the photo checkout desk to make a folder for us. They will hold all your pictures under your cabin # and then at the end of the cruise you can go through and pic which ones you want.

The Cemetary is at the first stop outside the dockyard on bus #7. ...

Thanks! That really what I wanted to know.

The rest of this thread did a wonderful job of explaining the detailed directions so thanks to everyone!

First, thank you so much for this thread. It is absolutely perfect!

I have a question about the #7 bus stop. When I looked at the map (http://www.bermudadirectory.com/PDF's/PTB%20Routes.pdf) it doesn't list a stop for the Naval Cemetary. Is this just something the drivers know? I am trying to find out how many zones it is from the port in dockyard so I don't know what stop it technically is. Thanks!

Thanks. I wasn't aware that the photographers got paid directly from the sales. I was under the impression they were just paid by the cruiseline to take the pics. I wouldn't ask them now that I know this.

Has anyone ever asked the photographer to take a picture using their own personal camera? Just curious if it's like Disneyword where the professionals will take a picture for you or is this is not allowed on the ship. Cruising on Carnival Liberty. Thanks!
