Just Back from Magic in Mediterranean June/ July….got questions? Ask away

We loved Greece as well. For our excursions:

• Rome - Day 1 - Slept once we got to the room as we were dead tired from the flight.

That's the worst thing that you can do for jet lag! It simply prolonged the jet lag.

Yes, it is hard to stay awake on the first day but giving in to your body only make it worse.

I hope your next trip is better with this tip.

I was on the same sailing as you! I just posted my thoughts on a separate thread reviewing the cruise from a DCL vs. other cruise lines perspective. Overall I had a fantastic time too.

A question for others on this same sailing--- did you feel like the crew and the servers in the dining room felt "new"? Our assistant server said half of the crew onboard the Magic were on their first contract with DCL. This was my first time on DCL so I didn't have any basis to compare it to.

Our servers were some of the best we’ve had. Both had come down from Palo, so they were great!

(Note: Our still all-time favorite is Mirka, but she is now in Palo on the Wonder)

Oh, I know. It just didn’t happen this time. Our room wasn’t ready at the hotel and by the time I got back from the Checkin desk to the chairs where my DW and DD were, they were both out…. Room was ready soon after and they both were back out, so I napped for a few hours as well…

Any recommendation on Port vs Starboard side stateroom choice? We sailed after you on the Western Med and had Port side. Did not seem to make a big difference really, but just curious...we are planning a Greek cruise next year
