Review summary

Wouldnt go again. Only enjoyed my time because of who I was with.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was very tasty but they had limited options in the lido marketplace. At dinner, the food served in the main dining rooms were the same as on the lido deck, so there wasnt much that was different.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

1 out of 5

All the shows and performances were geared toward and older audience. For example, 80s rock and roll, if you are in a younger crowd (20-30s) it just isnt as appealing.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Carpets were dirty and a good amount of dirty dishes were left in random locations on the ship such as behind stands and on railings.

Cabin / Stateroom

I would gladly sail on the Magic again but not out of Fort Lauderdale.

I was on the Magic a year ago and it was great except for the hot tubs, the water was cold or luke warm. I was on the conquest a couple of years ago out of fort Lauderdale and that was the worst cruise I have been on hands down. The ship was bad and the port was awful. Part of the ship smelled like sewage and the service in the dinning room was terrible, it took us atleast 3 hours to get our food and get out every night we went. They were severely understaffed.

I love the Magic. Sailing it for the third time next year. They try their best to keep the ship clean. Too bad their are lots of people who just choose to live like pigs and leave dishes everywhere. It's not the cruiseline's fault

The dirty dishes left everywhere is the fault of those passengers that only care about themselves. Can you imagine what their homes look like! The ships crew do everything they can to keep things clean.
