We (all 22 of us) just got off the Magic. Since there are so many great trip reports - I will just tell you the things that were great and not-so great in my opinion!.... If anyone would like to ask me something directly - just post a message to Kimer and I will be happy to answer! Overall - a WONDERFUL trip - booked another!
Pleasantly surprised:
1. The quality of the shows...they were fantastic...I am a theatre snob and I have to say I was impressed with the talent! Do not miss out on the nighttime entertainment - kids and adults will LOVE it! The look on my kid's faces (5 and 8yrs) was PRICELESS!
2. I won $600 playing bingo with my daughter!
3. Characters were plentiful and were FANTASTIC with the kids.
4. The creme brulee - YUMMY!!!!
5. Deck 4 at night...cushioned seat - pleasant breeze!
6. Cozumel was my fav port! Awesome beach, good shopping, etc.
7. The amount of storage space in our stateroom (8054) The shoe rack was great too - thanks for the advice!
8. Being completely catered to all week...we booked another while on board!
Not happy with:
1. The pools were TINY! Kids jumping on other's heads, etc.
2. My kids were not thrilled with the kid's programs....there were just a TON of kids. They were friendly and enthusiastic - but I thought they would be more entertaining. My kids got bored...
3. KEY WEST - YUCK! This should not be a stop for a family boat! I had to hide my child's eyes going down the streets so they did not get a raunchy education.
4. Photographer on ship had an attitude about taking our group's pix because we were so large.
5. Okay - whoever said that you can not feel the ship move is full of baloney! I was green the first night! From then on I took a bonine every day and was fine - but STILL felt it...especially in the shower!
