Diversions

[skyhawk]

We booked the Majic last summer before the it went into dry-dock. Now that the ESPN Skybox is gone, I understand Diversions is now the "sports place" to watch games and such. Are kids alowed in Diversions (12 & 16), or is this an adults only area? They would love to watch some baseball games there as well as the Olympics.

I'm not sure of the age limit but here is some info I found describing it. - Mike

Diversions - A place for adult cruisers to enjoy a cocktail, play games and even enjoy a televised sporting event on one of the many large screen TV's. This friendly 'pub like' atmosphere comes complete with comfortable seating and tabletop board games that invite cruisers to kick-back and have some fun.

I was on the magic right after dry dock & went to Diversions. I never went to the ESPN skybox - but Diversions had tall pub tables with backgammon/chess/checkers on them. They also had putting greens for practice and many TV's - but to me it wasn't a "sports bar" as many people no it . It was pretty mellow when I went, but maybe I didn't go at the right time of day. I thought it was nice, I didn't see any children even older teen in there, but I'm sure someone else knows that answer for sure.

Hope that helps,,,,have a magical trip!

My DH and DS-9 played chess in Diversions one day while we were at sea during our February cruise. There was no problem with my DS being in there. I think children under 18 aren't allowed in the bars after 9:00 pm. So, your kids should be able to watch sports during the day in Diversions.

Children are allowed - Our DD (5) went in - Not sure till what time - Maybe 9 or 10PM?

My DH was crushed to hear that ESPN skybox was gone. He loves ESPN Zone. So this is a big deal for him. Is Diversions a true sports bar? Are there big screen tvs? Will he be able to watch baseball and hockey will enroute?

Thanks for any input you all have!

My DH is a HUGE sports nut. He loved Diversions. There are screens of all sizes positioned where you can watch a game no matter where you're seated.

The seating is very comfortable, and the decor is outstanding. Disney did a fabulous job in remodeling this area. You're not going to believe it's the same space.

I do have our Navigator from the January cruise, and it states that Beat Street (where the lounges are located) is adults only after 9:00pm.

LOL!! My DH is helping you out here, he has all kinds of superstitions pertaining to the Mets! Too lengthy to go into here, but he will be watching the Mets from Diversions in 9 days if that helps them!
