Wondering if there is seating on the exterior of deck 3?  This has always been our favorite place to sit on the conquest class.

As a Canadian who lives a 2 minute drive from th U.S, border and who travels regularly to cross it, I absolutley do not want the border to the U.S. to open.  I also do not want the Quebec border to open.  I live in New Brunswick and am very upset at this irresponsible doctor who has endangered so many lives.  It has also made it so that we will probably not be able to see our 7 week old granddaughter any time soon.  If you look at the stats, yes we have many cases across this country as well but by far the majority are in central Canada.  Cruise ships for the most part do not travel to central Canada.  We don't need them to bring new cases to otherwise relatively safe places.

Just for the record we are supposed to be diembarking a b2b this morning.  We rescheduled for September, cancelled that and are now rescheduled for next September. I miss cruising, but I want all of us to be safe. 

Thanks I appreciate the help!

Since early saver became a thing we have always booked that way.  This time with all the uncertainty we booked for next year under a "dealers choice exclusive offer".  I know how to apply for a price reduction with early saver.  My understanding is we can still get one with this offer up until the time of final payment.  My question is how do we apply for it?

Sometimes we haven't had hardly any time between cruises.  Just fun to walk around an empty ship for awhile.

Thanks for all your responses.  We who have cruised have all been blessed with many wonderful memories.  My dh and I, just a couple of hours ago were blessed with the birth of a very special little granddaughter.  Anxiously awaiting open borders so we can meet her in person.  Anyone else have any stories to share?

My daughter is in labour and I don't know when I will be able to see them.  Right now I am waiting on my own testing results.  Don't believe I have it, but the two things have made for a not great day.  Another wonderful memory.  Standing at the top of El Morro in San Juan looking out over the crashing waves. It was so awesome, it almost took my breath away.

Come on guys you must have some good memories!

I am sure i am not the only cruiser feeling blue right now.  Cancelled our b2b May cruises for September and suspect will need to reschedule again for next year.  In the mean time I would love if people would pick a favorite cruise memory to share.  Might cheer some of us up a bit.    I will start with 2. 2005  1st cruise sitting in a glass enclosed restaurant in the middle of the jungle in Belize with new friends made here on cruise critic.  DH and I were  celebrating our 25th anniversary. 2012  2nd Falling asleep on the outer deck on deck 3 on the Freedom.  We were docked in  Ocho Rios and I awoke feeling like I was living in a dream.  Simple memory, but a special one to me.

Loving your review.  DH and I are travelling on Amtrak for our next cruise on the Magic.  We are just getting a roomette, which I know will be tight, but we get along pretty well, so I am not too concerned.  The cool thing is though that we will have the same room you had when we sail.  You have got me wanting 104 days to go more quickly.

If you are coming in the day before, renting a car is a good option.  The drive is easy and gives you wheels to get around once you get there.

WE have not had great experience with the internet on the ship, so I can't really comment on that, but I will say I let my daughter know not to have a baby while we are cruising.  She is cutting it close with this next one.  Due just 3 weeks before we sail.  Congrats by the way.

Anyone have any idea of the current price of the Behind the Fun Tour on the Carnival Magic.  We are looking at the May 23rd itinerary which is an 8 day.  Also any idea when it might take place?

Well I would agree with almost everything above, but the two main things that stand out to me are spending quality time with my hubby of almost 40 years,  we will be celebrating this on our next cruise, also being so removed from the rest of the world  that I rarely think about work.

Flying fish many times, dolphins in Galveston and manatee in Port Canaveral.  We also saw a shark swimming alongside the pier in St. Kitts as we were walking back to the ship.

My husband is a minister and on our very 1st cruise he performed a renewal of vows ceremony for a couple we met here on C.C.  We simply went to an seldom used aft deck on a quiet morning.  It was quite lovely.  Yes a few people strolled by,  but we weren't bothered by them or I don't  believe they by us.

With priority tender they will give you a location to meet and will accompany you off.

Thanks shakybeef.  I am picturing falling asleep on a lazy afternoon.  Thats my idea of a perfect sea day.

DH and I have an ocean suite booked on the Magic .  Anyone ever had any success getting a second lounge chair for their balcony?

My alarm normaly goes off at 2:30 in the morning and I can't seem to change my internal alarm on a cruise.  I try to stay up with my hubby but the result is I find I am usually tired quite a bit of the time.  Any suggestions?

Ok, so you do realize they will soon be checking our luggage for smuggled straws.

Thanks so much for your review.  We have sailed on the Magic twice before, and have another cruise booked on her for next May.  Curious to know what sandwiches were available in the Deli on Promenade.  We just fell in love with the Deli on our last cruise and would love to think we could get something good there in a less crowded environment next time.

We have sailed out of San Juan, Miami, Galveston, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral.  Port Canaveral is our hands down favorite.  We usually fly in to Orlando the day before and spend the day in Canaveral doing some last minute shopping, watching the ships sail, relaxing by the hotel pool etc.  I guess what we really like is we are comfortable renting a car and driving around there.  We are not big city folks, so driving in Miami not going to happen.  Galveston is too far away and San Juan is too expensive to get to.  Fort Lauderdale is great, but we have had a hard time finding itineraries from there that interest us.

Anyone know what time Magic sails tonight?

What time  is she due to leave port today.
