I've learned that in approximately three weeks, Carnival will be revealing a new feature to be showcased on the new Carnival Magic. Sister brands offer "Edu-tainment" in the forms of Culinary classes, computer classes and digital arts. Will the CCL Magic be showcasing this for the Carnival brand? What do you think? Stay tuned.

That sounds like fun. I'd love to do the culinary and digital arts classes. Please let us know when you hear more about it.

I could be wrong, but I'm thinking they have a more physical/action type feature they will be announcing. That could be further along though. They always do these Announcements one at a time to garner more press and build excitement. Whatever it is I'm sure it will be "Funtastic" in keeping with the Carnival tradition.

My biggest issue with the Dream was how it bottlenecked at the coffee shop while a TON of space was being unused outdoors.

If there was just some way to covert the unused outdoor space to indoor space.....

I never even walked out on the "Lanai" (outdoor area) the entire 9 days I was on the ship.

I was just looking at the deck plans and can definitely see how that could happen. I bet a rainy Fun Day At Sea would be worse.
