Carnival Magic is a Шаблон:Sclass which entered service on 1 May 2011. The ship was named and christened in Venice by her godmother Lindsey Wilkerson Alsup, a former patient and current employee at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.[1]

Carnival Magic was laid down on 20 November 2008, launched from her drydock on 27 August 2010 and completed on 29 April 2011.[2] Sea trials were undertaken between 17 and 20 March 2011.[3] She has 1,845 passenger cabins and 746 crew cabins, and can carry over 6,000 persons in total.[4]

The lifeboat configuration of Carnival Magic differs from that of her sister ship, Шаблон:Ship, in that Carnival Magic has 18 double-size lifeboats, while Carnival Dream has 30 smaller boats. Carnival Magic also has a large, highly visible SkyCourse ropes course forward of her funnel that is not present on her sister.

There are 19 decks (although marked as having 15 decks on the deck plan because there is no "Deck 13" on Carnival ships) aboard Carnival Magic.[5]

Drydock refurbishment

Carnival Magic was dry-docked in June 2016 which included refurbishment of some public areas.[6] During the suspension of service due to COVID-19, she underwent a second dry dock for expansion of the casino area, in addition to obtaining the blue/white livery seen on the cruise line's other ship Mardi Gras.[7]

Cruising areas

Carnival Magic spent her inaugural season, summer 2011, cruising the Mediterranean Sea.[8] She then made a transatlantic crossing in autumn, 2011, and was homeported in Galveston, Texas from which she made Caribbean Sea cruises. In April, 2016, her homeport changed to Port Canaveral, Florida from which she continued making Caribbean cruises.[9]

Carnival Magic re-positioned to Miami, Florida in September 2018, sailing 7-day eastern and western Caribbean cruises. She was expected to move homeport to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in May 2019.[10]

In 2021, itineraries included trips from Port Canaveral (Orlando, FL) to the Caribbean; New York to Bermuda, Canada, and New England; and Norfolk to The Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Caribbean starting in November 2021.[11]

Following Carnival's suspension of service due to COVID-19, Carnival Magic recommenced cruises on 7 August 2021 with sailings from Port Canaveral to The Bahamas.[12]
