Review summary

Large ship but seldom seemed actually crowded. Did not like that on deck 5 you have to walk through the middle of the casino, to get to showrooms, dining venues, shops, bars, and you are OVERWHELMED by cigarette smoke. It is impossible to avoid. Aside from that, great service, very good food and had a lot of fun.

Yeah there are doors to the outside deck that you can take to go around if I recall. But other than that the most direct way to the shows is through the casino.

Your statement about only walking through the casino is 100% false. You don't have to walk through the casino on the Magic to get to shows and what not. I've been on it twice. You're full of it

The Magic has a promenade deck all the way around deck 5 so you can avoid it. Since you're highly allergic you'll want to avoid the casino on all ships because it is one of the few smoking areas and I haven't been in one yet where the smoke wasn't heavy.I spend a lot of time in the casino's and usually feel like I need to take my eyes out and soak them in water at the end of the night.

To avoid the casino you can always go up or down one deck on the Magic to go forward or aft.
