The ship features a 1/2 mile wraparound promenade deck with spectacular scenic views, charming staterooms, and exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff. In fact, the ship has been specially designed to offer the best in activities and entertainment.

There’s also no shortage of restaurants and pubs offering delicious food and refreshing drinks in a merry and friendly atmosphere. Carnival Magic® truly is where magical memories are made!

Outdoor Fun

Along the upper decks you’ll find plenty to keep you occupied, energized, relaxed, or entertained as the mood grabs you. For starters, there is Carnival WaterWorks, a full waterpark that will delight children of all ages, including those who are young at heart!

If relaxation is more your style while the children enjoy other activities, you’ll want to book some time in Serenity Adult Only Retreat. Here you can find yourself in a truly magical setting of tranquil calm, away from all the energy and excitement on other areas of the ship.

When you’re ready for some more outdoor fun again, you can try your skill at our challenging ropes course with two levels of skill for younger and older thrill-seekers, or perhaps you’d like to play a round or two of Mini Golf with the family.

And, of course, there is also SportSquare, an outdoor recreation area with plenty more athletic activities as well as a fitness area so you never have to miss a good workout.

Indoor Fun

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.

The casino is where a lot of the action happens in the evening, offering everything from slots to poker and blackjack to all your favorite table games. Will you hit the jackpot?

If the casino activity isn’t your preference, perhaps you’d enjoy some relaxation in Cloud 9 Spa instead. Treat yourself to a massage, a facial, or some thermal therapy in the sensational Hydrotherapy Pool!

Carnival Magic® has its very own Piano Bar too, where you can simply relax and take in some good tunes and good vibes, or even join in on a sing-along around the piano. And for some truly tasty and unique libations, visit Alchemy Bar and sample some vintage cocktails or let the bartender make a special creation just for you.

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.
