Review summary

Would love to do this again on the Magic. My first cruise was on the Ecstasy. Wasnt impressed and didnt enjoy it. May have been because my MIL was on that cruise as well. Waited 5 years and went on this cruise and now I am hooked.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Quick, painless and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I thought the food was great. The shots were fun and tasty. Not a fan of the overly heavy alcoholic drinks that killed the flavor of having a "Tropical drink". Loved the MDR, the Lido Buffet and the Steakhouse (really great).

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
So much to do. So little time. We had fun with everything thing we did.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the family shows, the musicals, and especially the Comedy shows. Most of the comedians were awesome!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our stewart, was nice, but did have much a of personality. The wait staff, was top notch.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Beautiful ship. Some smells/odors in certain spots, other than that, we thought highly of the Magic.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice, comfy, cozy, quiet and cool. We were out more than in.

Ship tip

There are other decks to enjoy on the bow other than deck 5. Go out there at night and enjoy all that cruising offers.

Booked a swim with whale shark excursion... the weather didnt cooperate, and we were not able to swim with them.

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
Not impressed with Belize as a whole. Loved the ruins.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Roatan is an awesome place to begin with. We did the Tabyana Beach Day & Gumbalimba excursion. Had a blast with the monkeys and at the beach. Some of the best snorkeling ever!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Shopping money pit. Some good places, some bad.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Someone took our luggage. Not a good day running around trying to find it.
