What is it?
When we cruised on the Wonder this past Thanksgiving, the cooling box in our cabin was different than any we have had in the past, on either ship. It cooled down even warm sodas and water bottles (to the point of being cold), and I think it may have been an actual refrigerator instead of the old style cooling box. We were in a cat 3, so I don't know if that makes any difference.
I wonder if they have been gradually changing out these units (or changing them out in bulk?) On our 2009 cruises we've noticed that they were much colder than on previous cruises.
If you require a real refrigerator for medications, complete the medical form and one will be placed in your room prior to your arrival.
Someone in the past who cruised in the first year or so of the Magic's life posted that the ship did have real refrigerators at first, but due to lack of air flow in the cabinent, they all overheated and failed, so they went with the less powerful cooling boxes. Any first cruisers recall this?

Maybe the passenger before you had medical needs and they just never changed the box out.
If that is the case, they removed the "cooling box" and placed the new/extra unit inside the cabinet. I may be wrong (it happens a lot ) but I thought if a real refrigerator was requested for medical reasons, it was put in the cabin in addition to the cooling box. Actually removing/replacing the box, that is in the cabinet, sounds like a lot of time-consuming extra work.
