Review summary

Overall we had a great time, the only complaints would have to be the food just wasn’t as good as we’ve had in the past.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fast and easy. We used VeriFLY which made check in fast and efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We weren’t overly impressed with the food in the main dining room. Some nights were pretty good and other nights were not so great. The steak house was delicious. The burgers at Guys were the best. I didn’t care for the pizza at all.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We hung out by the main pool and the aft pool mostly. Both areas were fun although it’s like an early morning race to get a chair which is frustrating. For the first time we used some spa services which were enjoyable.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We were very impressed with the entertainment. The violinist group in the atrium were wonderful! Pool DJ was great. We saw a couple of stage shows which were very good too. And the guy who does magic with cards was HILARIOUS. I’m sorry I don’t remember his name, I think Bob, but he was hysterical!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I just really appreciate the workers on these ships! They all work so hard to be sure we are having a good time.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We decided to upgrade to a suite and the extra space was so nice. Very comfortable and clean. No complaints!

Nice review, but have you ever asked for a special pizza? I like extra sauce, extra cheese, pepperoni and mushrooms, a bit heavy and sloppy since they literally double the extras.

Back aboard the Magic after about 8 years or so still a wonderful ship, we are a bit spoiled after being on the Mardi Gras twice earlier this year. One thing for sure the suites on the magic a bit less appealing but still workable.

Had a wonderful cruise!!

A good cruise
