The Showtime Theatre offers the Carnival Magic’s main Playlist Productions Shows, which are made up of thirty-minute song and dance revues. They also have magicians and host a variety of events like interactive game shows, bingo, seminars and dance classes are also held here.

This hilarious even takes place in the Spotlight Lounge, with four comedians, which each usually performs a family-friendly and adults-only set. Be warned that the adult comedy is not for the faint of heart. The Spotlight Lounge also hosts karaoke events.

At night, the pool transforms into the ship’s outdoor Seaside Theatre with Dive in Movies. The giant screen allows you to see a movie or sporting events from the comforts of a poolside lounge chair or even from the pool itself. Popular themes include Comedy, Action & Adventure and Date Night. They come with popcorn for everyone and blankets to snuggle up in.

The Hat Trick Casino is a large space with a vast array of glittering slot machines as well as a great variety of table games. There is a lively crowd at the casino at any given time and some staff members on hand to help teach beginners the ropes. Raffles, draws and tournaments take place daily.

The spa is a massive 22 700 square feet and spans across decks twelve, thirteen and fourteen. This makes it one relaxation venue well worth attending. You can go there for a whole range of treatments including hot-stone massages, acupuncture, body sculpting, and several types of facials. A good tip is to go here on port days as they run several specials when they’re not so busy.

Here, you can join a class or make use of their state-of-the-art machines, including ellipticals, stationary bikes, treadmills, resistance machines and free weights. Some of their classes are free but others like pilates and yoga are charged per class. Personal training and nutritional counselling is also available for a fee.

Just because you’re on one of the most exciting cruise ships with all the bells and whistles, doesn’t mean that you can’t simply get away from it all sometimes. This sun deck offers a space that offers peace, quiet, sea breezes, and a nearby bar. It's the place to get done the kind of stuff you just can't seem to do anywhere else: reconnect with your partner, finish that book, or blissfully do nothing at all.

Cool off while having a blast at WaterWorks, Carnival Magic’s onboard water park. Kids and adults can slide down the Twister and Drainpipe waterslides, as well as enjoying the park’s racer slides and other water attractions, such as the kids splash zone. Keep in mind that there are height and weight restrictions for these fast-flowing rides.

The Magic has fantastic Camp Ocean facilities, as well as the full Seuss at Sea programme.

Kids can enjoy a special onboard character parade, interactive story time, arts & crafts activities, character breakfast featuring their favourite Dr. Seuss friends and more.

At Camp Ocean, kids will have a blast in supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label: Penguins (2 to 5 years), Stingrays (6 to 8 years) and Sharks (9 to 11 years). They also have specialised groups for tweens and teens with age appropriate activities.
