Had a deck 1 Magic cabin before; we enjoyed it. Only issue was that when pulling in and out of port there was a low noise that I assumed was the thrusters helping move the ship. If you were asleep, it wasn't loud enough to wake you up. Just be aware that the elevators don't consistently come down to deck 1 and 2. (At least they didn't on that cruise.) When you were watching the elevators, they usually would come down to deck 3 and then go back up. It would take a few times before an elevator actually came down to deck 1. We just gave up and always took the stairs.
