Found the Magic on Google Earth

If you have google earth you should go find St Maarten. You can see the Magic (I imagine) in port!

Actually I think that is a Royal Caribbean ship. Isn't the Magic at Castaway Cay. Can't zoom in enough to tell.

Google Earth is not a real-time, regularly updated function. The images you are seeing are static photos that were taken in some cases years ago (when I zoom in on my home, the picture dosen't include the extended deck we put on almost two years ago).

So any ships you see aren't current images.

Yeah, some of them are real old. i'm pretty sure last time I looked, I saw the Big Red Boat!

You are correct... that is the RCL ship.

Really? It looks like it has the Mickey pool on it?

There is a cruise ship in port when the picture was taken, but it's not the Magic.

Now I wish they had that high of a resolution shot over Castaway Cay. The current image looks like there might be on of the two ships at the island, but the quality is so low, I can't even tell for sure that there is or is not a ship at the dock.

In Nassau port you can again see a crusie ship, but it's not the Wonder.

Lots of ships at Freeport, but no Wonder.

There's three ships shown at Cayman Islands, but no Magic.

Two ships are shown at Key West, but again, no Magic.

Cozumel shows one ship, but not the Magic.

St. Thomas shows three cruise ships lined up, but still no Magic.

The only place I can find either ship is Port Canaveral.
The position is:
Latitude: 28°24'50.22"N
Longitude: 80°37'44.96"W
That will put you in the Goofy pool (at least based on what image is show there today).

One tell-tale sign is if you look closely you will notice at the aft section you will see a row of verandahs. If this were the Magic you would see topsiders or the secret deck. Most likely the hidden Mickey shape that you see is the water slide.
