Review summary

Disembarked from the Magic on 8/25/19 and my ONLY complaint is that it came to an end. What a fantastic cruise! From start to finish, we had a blast. We met soooo many fun people. The staff were very friendly and always said hello. We had a Suite and 2 balcony rooms on deck 7. Embarkation was flawless. Our rooms were 7215, 7257 and 7454 and all were freezing cold. I had to turn the air down in my Suite. Our cabin steward for the first two rooms was Nicola. If you're lucky enough to have her, you'll get the best service. The ship was immaculate. Workers cleaned day and night. Simon London the CD is superb. We ate and drank alot 😁. Seaday Brunch was my favorite. Dinner service was a little slow, but we were in no hurry. We cruised the Southern Caribbean and the weather was picture perfect. It was nice to see so many people dressed up on both elegant nights. Pre cruise we stayed at the Hilton at Fort Lauderdale Marina. Great location and we had a great view of the ship from our balcony.
