wonder vs: magic

[t-bone]

Good Morning...
I was just wondering, are the Magic and Wonder identical? If not what are the pros ,cons etc.??When I hear about different staterooms (say, one being noisy on the wonder, will it be noisy on magic due to same location? )
thanks- Tracey

Ships are essentially identical in size and layout...differences are in decor and themes
Wonder is art Nouveau decor vs Art Deco on Magic (prefer Magic)

Wonder has Beach Blanket Buffet vs Topsiders (same)

Wonder has Tritons vs Lumieres (prefer Lumieres)

Wonder has atrium statue of Ariel vs Mickey on Magic (Mickey!!!)

Entertainment district on Magic is Beat Street, Route 66 on Wonder (prefer Wonder for cool posters that adorn the halls...take pics)....

Wonder has the 3 ducks et al on rear of ship, Magic has Goofy

Cant think of any more differences.....

The Magic has a "porthole side" on Beat Street that is missing on the Wonder's Route 66. I doubt that it's actually meant for sliding, but boy is it fun!

Just to throw out another esoteric difference, the porthole on Cat 7 "navigators verandahs" are round on Magic and oval on Wonder.

Then of course is the difference based on what ever make-overs they do when in dry-dock (like when they changed the ESPN sports bar into the "Stack" teen club). Don't know if they did that on the Wonder too.

The most important difference to me is that you're on the Magic for 7 days, only 3 or 4 on the Wonder!!

Wonder 11/01
Magic 3/02
Magic 11/02
Carnival Destiny (don't ask) 12/03
Booked on Magic Eastbound Panama Canal 8/05 (14 days -- twice as good!!)

The layout is the same pretty much on both ships. If an area is desiganted as noisy on one it will probably be on the other as well.
