How many spots are available?  Because of game play space restrictions on the ship, we have 50 spots for Magic players for sale, We have been opened up to allow as many spots as we sell! No more restrictions on space!  But you can bring your whole family, because we have no limit on non-gamers that can come with our group.

Are there going to be side booster drafts on the cruise?  YES! Some draft sets are included in the Tournament Registration Fee, and we will be offering options closer to cruise for you to purchase boxes of product as well.  However, we are not allowed to take money on the cruise, so everything must be pre-purchased.

What if I don’t want to play in all the tournaments?  You are not obligated to play in any tournaments.  Pick and choose the ones you want.  We have a variety of events so that something will appeal to everyone!  However, if you choose to skip a sealed event, stop by the room and find us… you still get your sealed product!

 

How big is the cruise ship?  The Carnival Freedom has a guest capacity of 2,974.  The Carnival Freedom earns its name with a beautiful atrium lobby bar, wireless internet café, expanded Youth Program spaces, great casual and formal eateries, lounges and nightclubs, a sports bar and a piano bar, a friendly casino, a giant TV on the top of the ship, and much, much more!

 

When are the tournaments held?  The tournaments are held during our time at sea.  When we are in port, we want to offer the opportunity to our staff to enjoy Key West, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios, so we will not be scheduling any tournaments during the hours at port.  We will also be breaking each evening for dinner at 6pm.
