Review summary

For our 2nd cruise this was great. Beautiful ports and clear blue water. Magic was a nice ship just what we expected. Crew nice and helpful. Very relaxing. Will be looking for our next!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation appointment was at 12:30 but got there early and walked right on! Was on the ship by noon.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Guy's burgers was the bomb! MDR all meals good and service was great. Buffet was a buffet-not my favorite.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools/pool decks crowded.

Entertainment

Didn't go to any shows-not our thing.

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room steward was great, never lacked for anything. Waiters at the MDR for breakfast overworked, seldom checked back to see if we need refills on coffee or anything. MDR at night service was great.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Overall the cabin was exactly what we expected. Did wipe down all the surfaces with Norovirus wipes as soon as we got into our cabin and picked up dirt on them.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Only had an overnight before the cruise and didn't do anything but have supper at our hotel. Super was excellent. Hotel(Holiday Inn Port of Miami) was nice but expensive. Booked the pre-cruise package that included breakfast buffet in the am and transport to port.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
Probably my favorite port on this trip. Did stingray swin and Rum Point bar/beach. Swimming with the rays was awesome but bought the pictures and only got 5 out of the at least 20 they showed us(didn't see what we got until we were home and checked email). Rum Point is nice but drinks are expensive.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Beach club was nice with security to watch your stuff while you swim. Local selling things along the beach got to be a bit much.

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
Private beach with lunch was good. Food better than I thought it was going to be.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Shopping was plentiful. Nice clean in the port area

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Always a process. Not a problem just a sad day.
