I understand your frustration as I am also on a 10/8 sailing, my husband and I are leaving tonight driving an alternate route from NC to avoid the storm. The Gov stated that all roads were open in FL and that there was not a shortage of gas, I just hope that by morning traffic is not too bad and most have made it back to their homes safely.

 

It looks like Carnival Magic is scheduled to get back to PC at 9:16am on 10/8, according to Marine Traffic, also I see the Victory made it back in to PC this morning. So I believe we will be able to cruise although maybe a late embarkation. We will have to wait for the port officials to give the okay.

 

I am just so thankful that most made it through this storm and I pray that all involved has minimal to no damage to their properties. Hopefully we will be on board tomorrow and all the stressing will be gone.

Hey! Do you have a link to an article or anything where the Gov. of FL said that? Thanks!

We'll be ok if it is canceled too (I'm assuming/hoping there is a full refund?) BUT if it sails we'll have to get down there! I'm worried about driving conditions in that case. Of course that is if the port opens.

Your review was so much fun to read. We'll be on the Magic in October the week before you and we can't wait! It will be the biggest and newest ship that we've ever been on. Thanks for taking the time to post!

We didn't attend many shows this time. The first night was good, and the night they did seventies music was good too. We've seen many magicians and illusionists in the past as well as the Legends show, so we skipped more than we attended this time.

I hope there is a magic show when we go in October. My 8 year old is very into magic right now!

Does anyone know how long he'll be on the Magic? He sounds fun!

Can't wait for more!

Here you go. Let me know if the file size is too small.

Thanks for posting!

Here are the FunTimes. The camp pdf files were too large. Contact me and I'll email them to you (I only have ages 2-5 and 9-11).

I see you posted them! Thanks!

My husband and I bought the Cheers program on our 3 day cruise. We said then that we wouldn't do it on a 7 day but now that we're booked it is sounding better and better. I can't wait to hear how you do with it.

I am enjoying you review so much! Thanks for taking the time to write and post it!!

Just an update....we got on the ship! Yay!!!!!! Thanks everyone!

I can't wait to read more!

For those not in the know of my acronym....

 

 

I wished I knew what PVP meant! :p

Haha! I wish I knew what mine did....personal vacation planner...I think.

Is there anyway some relatives can work their rooms around to accommodate a child? Then you can book a 3 person instead of a 4? Like someone with a 2 person room move into a 3 and you book another 3? Would get you on the ship.

I wish but there are no 3 passenger rooms either!

We are in magic on 9/17. Regular oceanview cabins have been sold out for a long time on ours. And the price for our cove balcony has increased over $300 since we booked last sept.

Wow! That's crazy!

That's the sailing. I wanted to book as soon as I got our fall break dates but nooooooooo............. :-(

Thanks!

On our last cruise, about 1 week prior to cruising, we had a last minute addition, which caused us to have to get a more accommodating room. Well, I looked online, and saw that the cruise was sold out.

I then called Carnival, and the rep said they were sold out, nothing we could do. Then, my wife called, got another rep, and was able to get another room.

That's an idea. I also checked with two different sites and they both said the same thing.

Keep trying. You just never know!

I will! Thanks!

Sure! Just log in, select your cruise, and click through like you're going to book. Then when it asks for a deposit, click the Carnival logo in the upper left corner and it should offer up a 24/48 hour hold. I have done that a few times. Good luck!

I'll be so excited if it ever lets me put in 4 passengers!

If you see a cabin pop up, you should be able to put a 24 hour hold on it online. Then you can call your PVP and put your deposit down. Just in case you didn't know.

Good to know! Thanks!!

I'm getting confused as to what is being asked. Who's trying to go? Why wouldn't an uncle book with your pvp? How does 2 cabins with bunks fit in?

Hi RuthlessBoss,

My family of 4 is trying to go. The PVP suggested us booking two bunk rooms since there were no cabins that fit 4 ppl. My uncle got the last regular cabin for the two ppl traveling in his party. My uncle already had a room on hold with an online site so he used them to book.

I will definitely be checking myself! I wish I could get an alert. :-) Thank you!!

Thanks for your reply. I do have a PVP with Carnival and he said he'd watch out. But then I think he got a little ill that my uncle wouldn't book with him and that we wouldn't just book 2 bunk rooms for my family of 4. Hopefully he'll be watching since he wants a booking!

Hi!

My family waited until the last minute to book an October cruise. Do y'all have an advice on getting a room on a sold out sailing? I have the "pay in full" date so I'll check closer to that time.

Any other tips?

Thanks!

Nope, we went to karaoke and watched the first night. I really wanted to sing with the band but we had two small kids with us and were usually exhausted at night! :-) We usually picked them up around 9:45-10 and went to bed with them shortly after.
