Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Loved the pizza open 24 hours and delivery! Guy’s burger joint was great and the Taco’s/ Burrito’s at lunch superb! If I would have been able to read the entire menu on my phone off the app I would have eaten in the dining more! Food was okay- the buffet was pretty good with great selections every day! Breakfast was great every day!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The pools were crowded and it was hard to find a chair in the sun, people claim them early in the morning and leave their belongings there all day!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows: Matthew in the Red Frog Pub amazing artist! Tuxedo amazing ! The band in the Ocean Lounge amazing! Piano Bar with Scott amazing performer! The violinists amazing! The actual shows- the male lead singer was flat all the time/ he needs to get some voices lessons so that he is not always singing under the key! It was bad!!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff friendly and helpful!

Ship Quality

Took the excursion to Carambola Beach- resort offers excellent sushi- very relaxing beach area around a tropical setting ! Beautiful spot!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Walked Old San Juan visited the Castle and had a Pina Colada at the original location they started at Barrachinini’s

Grand Turk Island Did not visit port

Captain would not dock at Grand Turk due to high winds and swalls- very disappointing!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were the first deck off the ship - Deck 2 and it was gangway was right down the hall- easy not congested and fast! Take your luggage with you it’s quicker!!

I agree about debarkation! We were on the Magic in July (Deck 2 as well!) and were AMAZED at how quickly we were off the ship. We've rebooked for this July!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Magic. We've been on at the last two Octobers. We just did that same itinerary and we had a fabulous time on the Magic. Matter of fact we're going on it again this October😎
