Review summary

ship did not come into port on time ( fog was to blame ) so we loaded late, really late. ( lots of standing in line waiting  TSA was to blame for some of this no contingency plans for this sort of problem )Did not get on board until after ( started @ 5:30 ) 11:00 pm , no luggage until 12:00 and then we had to do a muster ( fed laws ) finally on way after 1:00 am .. needless to say we were not going to go to our first port on time. ( key west  ) so we did themin reverse order not so bad as we did see them all ( not enought time at key west ) in doing this we had to do an immigration and naturalization process on board ship prior to docking in Key West .  more standing in line seems like that is all we did . Finally docked in Galveston ( late  ) off ship at 12:00 or later..  more fog and had a shipboard emergency passenger had a bad appendix had to be airlifted off of ship.  Food was pretty bad not up to the Magic's standards ( this was our third cruise on the Magic ) .. Service was up to the standards we have come to expect. Serving people can not do too much when the food is bad.  all in all we did not have a very good time on our cruise. which is a shame for thoise first timers ( they are ruined and probably won't be back.

... I literally read "All in all we had a very good time on the cruise".... so why doesn't your review reflect that? 1-Star for a "Very good time"? Service, Cabin and ship quality all got extremely positive green smile faces here... My review of this review isn't a positive one and I give it a SENSIBLE 2-Stars. I can understand that the fog was frustrating and maybe the food wasn't up to par, but I cant overlook the statement of it being a "very good time" and see 1-Star. Not to mention the title of this review is "Worst cruise ever"... Literally nothing on this earth could have made this cruise worse? Maybe if the boat pulled a Titanic and sank someone could say "worst cruise ever"... but im pretty sure you made it home safe.
