Review summary

Except for the entertainment and the buffet this was a good cruise. Maybe because I'm comparing Magic to Glory. We dance on the Glory. No dance music on Magic. The Glory had Leo the best cruise director ever. The entertainment made me sad.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The main dining was great. Especially the servers. Josef and his crew were exceptional. The buffet was a problem. The driest cakes I ever ate. The grits were lumpy and the food was cold.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Didn't do any of those things. Went to the Casino. Didn't like the 4th floor Casino teller wasn't there during the day. Had to go to the 5th floor for change. Too much smoking on the 5th floor.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The stage shows weren't good. Most of the music was suitable for weddings and funerals.

Children's Programs

No young children

Ship tip

Put the snoozing sign on your door EVERY night or your cabin steward will be busting in.

Our cabin steward kept coming into our cabin on the Celebrity Apex! Until we started putting up our snooze sign. Wonder what's up.

Thank you for taking the time to share your cruise with us. Every cruise ship has some good and bad, but overall still love cruising. The Magic is my favorite ship.
