Review summary

There was a fire the first night, evacuated from my room. The air did not work well. Speaker did not work at all. Food was not very good. They switched our port days because of boat issues and could not go max speed. Our times at each port was cut very short. The pool was very small and salty. Bathrooms and elevators would be out of service for periods of time. Very disappointed with the overall experience.

The other Fantasy Class ships besides Elation and Paradise are amazing, they have 2.0 and renovated exteriors and interiors. Not sure what your talking about the magic being better. It was so boring. Royal Caribbean is much more outdated and rooms are much smaller

Step up to a newer ship, there is a world of difference. The Magic was fantastic and we will be sailing on the Vista and Sunshine next year. We won't go back to a Fantasy class ship again (Unless someone pays for it, then we can rough it lol).
