I know lots of people like reading reviews especially since the Magic re-furb so here is a quick one from our first Disney Cruise!
Port/Boarding:
Very well organized and quick! We had a PAT of 11 and had boarding call #5. We were on the ship by 12:45 having lunch at Cabanas. Our room was ready by 1 and we quickly changed and headed to the pool which was not very busy
Stateroom:
We were in room 8024 and had no problems at all. Room had the new hair dryer which was in the desk area and never had been used so I assume a lot of people didn't know it was there. Room was fantastic and our stateroom host was great and making sure all our needs were met. There was very little activity in terms of workers still working on the ship. I only saw a couple of people touching up some paint in the adult pool area one afternoon.
Dining:
We had first seating which I would change in the future and it seemed rushed to get ready and at dinner by 5:45. We decided to skip Lumiere and had a sit-down dinner NYE at Cabanas and were the only ones there and probably had our best meal there. Animator's was great for the kids especially the little show at the end. Pirate's night was also NYE even though I had read on here it wouldn't be but it was great fun for all the kids (and adults) with fireworks at the end of the night.
After debating getting off at Nassau, we did end up going to Atlantis for the day and it was busy, 4 ships at port and NYE equals a very busy hotel but it was fun and used DCL to get back.
Our Cruise Director Jimmy was amazing!! Love him and his family were all on board as well and very patient with many people asking him questions, directions, etc. Overall, we had the time of our lives and can't wait to go back!!
