Carnival Magic is a popular cruise ship known for its range of dining options, including the famous steakhouse. However, for those looking for alternatives to the steakhouse dinner, there are plenty of options to choose from. One option is to explore the ship's other specialty restaurants, such as the Italian restaurant or the sushi bar. These restaurants offer a unique dining experience with a menu that caters to different tastes and preferences. The Italian restaurant, for example, offers a variety of pasta dishes, pizzas, and seafood options. On the other hand, the sushi bar offers a selection of fresh sushi and sashimi, as well as other Japanese-inspired dishes.
I recommend this book to those who love an immersive YA fantasy novel with flawed characters and a realistic romance.
She ventures on a hike with Pike in order to catch the owl and remove the curse, all while ensuring that he never finds out that she s a witch or that she cursed him. Otherwise, she spends her days at the wildlife refuge which would be the perfect job if not for Pike Alder, the witch-hating aspiring ornithologist who interns with them.

ARC Book Review: Wild is the Witch by Rachel Griffin
When eighteen-year-old witch Iris Gray accidentally enacts a curse that could have dire consequences, she must team up with a boy who hates witches to make sure her magic isn’t unleashed on the world.
Iris Gray knows witches aren’t welcome in most towns. When she was forced to leave her last home, she left behind a father who was no longer willing to start over. And while the Witches’ Council was lenient in their punishment, Iris knows they’re keeping tabs on her. Now settled in Washington, Iris never lets anyone see who she really is; instead, she vents her frustrations by writing curses she never intends to cast. Otherwise, she spends her days at the wildlife refuge which would be the perfect job if not for Pike Alder, the witch-hating aspiring ornithologist who interns with them.
Iris concocts the perfect curse for Pike: one that will turn him into a witch. But just as she’s about to dispel it, a bird swoops down and steals the curse before flying away. If the bird dies, the curse will be unleashed―and the bird is a powerful amplifier, and unleashing the curse would turn not just Pike, but everyone in the region, into a witch.
New witches have no idea how to control their magic and the consequences would be dire. And the Witches’ Council does not look kindly on multiple offenses; if they found out, Iris could be stripped of her magic for good. Iris begs Pike to help her track the bird, and they set out on a trek through the Pacific Northwest looking for a single bird that could destroy everything.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an audio ARC.
TAKE ME TO THE WILDS.
I was craving a witchy read and this delivered. Wow do I love how atmospheric and moody Griffin is able to create in a setting. I felt like I was out in the wood with Iris and Pike. The vibes are all there to bring about the best things in paranormal reads.
A ridiculous meddling owl caused all sorts of problems leading to an adventure that brought our couple together. There were solid loath to love nods and I definitely felt the initial animosity between Iris and Pike. I liked the development of their relationship and the trust they formed together. And even when things fell apart the admittance of a connection had my heart swelling.
It’s a very fast paced read with the big focus on Iris righting her wrongs. The tumultuous events lead to declarations of feelings and powerful magical moments. I liked the choices made for the story including how the curse was resolved and the relationships in general. There’s great exploration of forgiveness and working through grief too.
All in all, a vivid read filled with perseverance and hope that the sun really will rise in the morning. I love the sense of learning to let go and let be and the many aspects of growing up.
Audiobook notes: I have none! I LOVED the audio and the narration. It was well done and definitely enhanced the story for me.

This option is great for those who prefer a more traditional dining experience and want to try a variety of dishes without the additional cost of a specialty restaurant. For a more casual dining experience, there are also options like the buffet and the casual dining venues. The buffet offers a wide array of dishes, including international cuisine, comfort food, and various desserts. It is a great option for those who want to try different types of food and have a more relaxed dining experience. The casual dining venues, on the other hand, offer a variety of quick and easy options, such as burgers, pizzas, and sandwiches. This option is perfect for those who want a quick bite to eat or prefer a more casual dining atmosphere. In conclusion, while the Carnival Magic steakhouse is a popular dining option, there are plenty of alternatives available for those who are looking for something different. Whether it's the ship's other specialty restaurants, the main dining room, the buffet, or the casual dining venues, there is something to suit every taste and preference..
Reviews for "Unconventional alternatives to the steakhouse dinner on Carnival Magic"
- Emma - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the alternatives offered for dinner at the Carnival Magic steakhouse. First of all, the vegetarian option was severely lacking. The only thing I could choose was a basic salad with some grilled vegetables. It was bland and unappetizing. Secondly, the seafood option was also quite underwhelming. The shrimp dish I ordered was overcooked and lacked any distinct flavor. Overall, I was very disappointed with the lack of variety and quality in the alternative options at the steakhouse.
- David - 1 star - The dinner alternatives at the Carnival Magic steakhouse were a complete letdown. As a person with dietary restrictions, I was really looking forward to having a satisfying meal. Unfortunately, the vegan option was incredibly disappointing. It was just a plate of steamed vegetables with no seasoning or creativity. On top of that, the service was incredibly slow and inattentive. I would not recommend the steakhouse if you're looking for a satisfying alternative dinner option.
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to trying the dinner alternatives at the Carnival Magic steakhouse, but unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations. The chicken dish I ordered was dry and lacked flavor. The side dishes were mediocre at best. The only redeeming factor was the dessert, which was quite delicious. Overall, I was disappointed with the quality and taste of the alternative options and would not consider dining at the steakhouse again for dinner alternatives.
