The ship is old which made for long buffet lines. The breakfast line always had 30 to 40 people waiting. Food was cold for breakfast. NEVER AGAIN ON THE MAGIC!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Indra the steward was great. Waiter in dining had no personallity. Other Cruise companies waiters got to know you a little and engaged with conversation

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Layout was good bus small for the amout of people. Again, no one oicks up. We did deal or no deal at 7:00. We went to the shows at 10:00 and deal or no deal papers and drinks still on the tables and floors. Someone dropped 2 pieces of watermelon and a fork on the floor. After a few minutes I tracked down a guy with a broom and dust pan and brought it to his attention. He swepted up yje melon and left the fork for someone to step on. There was no pride fromm the employees for the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Steward was good, friendly. TV left alot to be desired. Bathroom toilet smelled real bad when you lifted the toilet top.

Ship tip

DON'T DO IT.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

1 out of 5
To far from an airport, we willnot use this port again. No morning service to Orlando, we had to buy a hotel room and shuttle. It added $350.00 to our trip

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful water

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We had a real nice excursion

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

On the magic now not a lot of kids on this cruise. Over 1000 platinum members on this one much older crowd. Very clean ship and pool decks.

I’m sorry that you had a bad experience on your cruise. Cruising during Spring Break or other times when schools are out does seem to make it busier and more hectic. I hope your next cruise or vacation event will be more enjoyable for you. We enjoyed our May 2022 cruise on Magic so much that we booked the same cruise again for this year. Thank you for your review. 😎🚢☀️🩴🏝🪸🐠🌺🙏🏻

Appreciate your details. Cruising during Spring Break (Match/April) will make the likelihood of crowds greater. Just think the crew has dealt with this for weeks. It doesn’t forgive the poor service regarding picking up after each program. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.
