Review summary

It was something for everyone. My only true issue is me coming home with Covid 19. Less than two hours from leaving Manhattan and making to Long Island. I went to the nearest CityMD to find out that I was sick

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was fun and exciting

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I became tired of the lido deck food. They had other choices however they were restaurant times that I were usually not ready for. It's hard getting up early after hanging out all night on the ship

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There were always something to do. However relaxing was the best thing for me

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The Vibe suck! The DJ really didn't pay attention to the crowd. If more people are standing there rather than dancing than maybe you need to change the music

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
I loved the children program. My children wanted to be with the kids all the time. My children are 8 and 11 years old

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most staff were friendly and welcoming! There was one or two that was acting like you were bothering them for asking a question. I just thought they been around Americans for too long, lol

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
They were cleaning all day long

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was three people in my room. We managed! I forgot the man name but he was great. My children were happy to have those animal towels each and every night

Ship tip

Wear a mask when you are on the inside of the ship! Some people are allowed to get on the ship with a positive Covid Test!!

Ports of call

New York, New York

3 out of 5
I am from NY, they are unorganized. They took my butter knife and cut it because they thought it was real gold

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
It was beautiful but honestly I felt I was in the middle of Manhattan. A lot of people was asking for money

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
This was my favorite Island. We had such a great time. The water was beautiful

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5
I hated the sand. I am not a swimmer so being level is very important. The sand is weird and it has unexpected sand with deeper holes on one side and not the other

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I chose late disembarkation, Number 15! It was an smooth exit for me however someone got arrested upon our exit wasn't too smooth for him

Thank you for sharing your review. We had an awesome cruise on the Magic in May out of Port Canaveral. Half Moon Cay is our favorite place. πŸ˜ŽπŸš’β˜€οΈπŸ©΄πŸͺΈπŸ πŸŒΊ

Out of 6 weeks of cruising in the last 9 months, we caught Covid on the last week (a B2B), but I guess vaccinations work since we did not know it until the airport in Vancouver. We probably will see more of that if folks test after a cruise.
