Review summary

Overall it was one of the best cruises we have had. It was supposed to rain every day. We got no rain. Instead it was sunny and about 85 every day. Had a great time! Can't wait to cruise again!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was extremely quick. We were in our staterooms in 30 minutes. Never had that happen before.

Ship tip

We packed the allowed 2 bottles of wine in our checked luggage. It was confiscated. Take it on your carry on and it is OK. We also had an alarm clock confiscated and returned because they said it was an extension cord. Should have put it in the carry on.

Belize City, Belize

We rented a truck and drove into the jungle to visit a friend's resort called Angel Falls. You should check it out. 400 ft waterfall you can repel and some great zip lines.

Thumbs Up 7

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5

We bought a day pass from the Mayan Princess resort. It was $25 less than the one the boat sold and we got there an hour before the boat excursion did. The vendors were annoying but it was definitely worth the $.

Regular long dragged out process, but what we expect when we take a cruise.

I’m thinking it was due to the fog maybe? Our summer cruises were smooth and efficient, but last year’s in December was chaotic. But I’m comparing the Magic to the Valor. We loved the Magic, but not the Valor so much.

Never had a problem in Galveston. They seem to have it down.

I hope they have improved embarkation/debarkation. Last time we cruised, it was horrible and took hours even though we were there early and at our designated time. And getting off the ship was pure chaos lol.
