Just off Magic, any ?'s.

Just got off the Magic this morning, so any questions let me know. Also did Blue Lagoon dolphin encounter and really enjoyed it.

Everything was amazing. The food was outstanding, the shows incredible (especially Tangled), the service second to none, and lots of fun activities and character greetings. Castaway Cay is so beautiful and relaxing. My daughter is 8 and enjoyed the kids clubs. We had zero problems and really enjoyed a great family vacation. We booked a placeholder cruise and are planning to go again next year.

Sounds great my daughter will be 7 at time of cruise and she is excited about the kids club.

I'll be on my first Disney cruise in October as well, on the Magic. My son is 3, and seems interested in the kids club, but at this age that's subject to change at the drop of a hat!

My questions for you, did you happen to notice what beers were on tap, and did they have the cinnamon pretzels that I've seen mentioned on these boards?

Thanks!

Did not see the cinnamon pretzels but didn't look for them. Me and my wife do not drink so I really can't help you with the beer selection.

I lined up immediately upon boarding and waited about 15 minutes. Fireworks show started at 7:30.

What type of cabin did you have? Still have Shwarma on deck? Any plumbing problems?

We had inside cabin, we have an 8 year old daughter and we were always doing something so we really spent very little time in cabin other than sleeping. No plumbing problems. Room was a little warm for us when we first got there. Let hostess know and they turned it down to nice and cool for us. Not sure what shwarma is.

Who were your Cruise Staff Team members?

Don't know, we only met Leslie the cruise director. Matt might have been one, he did the character dance party. He had a British accent and he did a great job.

Really enjoyed the Jose Carioca at Cariocas which was a mixed grill with lamb, sausage, tenderloin, and shrimp. Also enjoyed the duck confit at Lumierres. All meals were great with several options. Started boarding a little before 1:00 PM.

Wow, 1pm.... we have never boarded later than noon.

We thought it was worth it. My 8 year old daughter said it was her favorite part of the trip. 30 minute boat ride to blue Lagoon which is beautiful. About 30 minutes in water with dolphins. They take picture of dolphin kissing you and then you get to pet top of dolphin and then rub his belly. You get to hug and kiss dolphin. Dance with dolphin and feel his teeth and tongue. They then do tricks for you with amazing jumps and catching balls. You then get to enjoy the beach.
