The carnival is normally associated with outdoor attractions such as rides, games, and food stalls. However, there is also a world of wonder waiting indoors at the carnival. Indoors at the carnival, there is a magical atmosphere that captivates the senses and transports visitors to a different realm. It is a world where anything seems possible, filled with enchantment and excitement. One of the main attractions indoors at the carnival is the magical shows and performances. Visitors can witness breathtaking acts of illusion, mind-boggling tricks, and awe-inspiring performances.
Unlike other ships of previous class, to reach the aft part of this deck you do not need to walk through the dining room. They created a hallway that leads directly to the aft dining room. Also gone is this area is the large bar/lounge (that’s been moved up one deck).

Carnival Magic Virtual Tour
I recently had the chance to board the Carnival Magic in Miami. While I was touring the vessel, I took the opportunity to photograph the ship for a comprehensive tour. This review will cover the public areas and staterooms.
All Carnival ships have a theme and some are more subtle than others. While the Magic’s public rooms are themed after, surprisingly, Magic, the decor isn’t in-your-face about that. What is, are the copious use of shiny metals, bright neon lights and the color turquoise. This is the last ship that their main interior designer and polarizing industry figure Joe Farcus worked on.
The ship is in the Dream-class of vessels launched in 2011. She’s a middle sister in the class, joining her younger sister Carnival Dream (2009) and older sisters Carnival Breeze (2012) and Costa Diadema (2014).
Let’s start the tour with our noted obligatory photos:

Deck three is one of those split decks on Carnival Ships. This means that to reach the aft area, you need to go a deck above or below and then head aft to go back up.
Before entering the dining room, like the previous classes have, the Dream-class have this neat mini-atrium.

At the very aft of the ship is the other dining room.

As keeps getting mentioned she’s an evolution of the Conquest-class. One noticeable change is the exterior profile of the aft part of decks 0, 1, 2 & 3.
As a result, the windows in the dining room slope the other way.
