Review summary

This is one destination I would encourage everyone to do atleast once... the water is stunning, the sand is amazing, the food was so good, the people are so friendly... it is definitely one I had on my bucket list and I would definitely go back!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
First time out of Norfolk, and besides their parking situation, this was one of the best embarkations we have ever had... from the door to the port to the ship in less than 5 minutes... checkin was a breeze, the longest part of it was walking onto the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I have to say that the food on the Magic was better than damn near every other ship we have been on... lido buffet was so much better than the mdr, that we found ourselves there every night, and its usually rhe other way around.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
This ships casino is staffed to the T.. we always have free drinks and alot of times we struggle to get a server in the casino... not on the magic... we had atleast 6 servers circulating asking for drink orders at all times.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
If you are in the casino, ask if a server named Karen is working.. you won't regret it.. she took amazing care of us and always was right there when we needed her... our stateroom steward was ok.. he was friendly enough but we found trash from the previous voyages guests still in our room and it stayed there until we picked it up..

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The magic was layer out fine for us... we prefer the larger ships, but will definitely cruise on the magic again... the staff takes amazing pride in cleaning

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I will book a deluxe ocean view a million times over... the room was enormous. The 2nd bathroom was an amazing feature, especially when trying to get ready in the mornings to start the day

Ship tip

Please go on your vacation and make it your own... you can't always trust what others say about things because it is solely their opinions... I was skeptical about this ship because it is a smaller class... but like I said we will definitely cruise the magic again

Ports of call

King's Wharf, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Bermuda is stunningly Beautiful!!! A bit expensive... do yourself a favor and buy the bus passes for the amount of days you will use them... cabs literally cost an arm, a leg and your first born...the bus was super quick and the drivers are extremely friendly and helpful getting you where you want to be

Norfolk, Virginia

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quickest debarkation ever... the lines to go through customs were super quick and very efficient
