We just returned from our cruise on the Disney Magic out of Miami from Dec 2-6 with a stop in Nassau. We were 3 adults without any kids with us, so I don't know much with what was going on for kids.
Some notes:
1) There were 1200 guests
2) Masks were required indoors unless eating or drinking
3) Food was great
4) Servers were excellent
5) No Sail Away Deck Party. There was a little "Micky Dance" thing in the atrium with each 10-15 guests upon arrival.
6) No party at the end of the cruise
7) People were closer than 6' apart at the pirate party, but it seemed ok.
8) Rapunzel was shown on Day 1/2 and Disney Dreams on Day 3/4
9) In the WD theater, seating was 3 seats separating parties and a row left empty. Leaving the theater was so much better. (We never went to the BV theater)
10) The snacks place outside the WD Theater was shuttered.
11) No food in the theaters, but drinks were allowed.
12) Muster was virtual (instruction at Fathoms, then scan tag at muster station). So improved!
13) Rainforest room sessions were private; 2 hour slots for your party. I think it was $170.
14) COVID tests at the terminal were self-administered, then results were displayed on monitors by (long) reservation numbers. So difficult. Bring up that site where you submitted your VAX card and keep refreshing. Results will show up there before the monitors.
Concierge notes:
1) The small concierge lounge was lightly attended, except debarkation day when it was absolutely packed. We never had a problem getting a table.
2) They sent by a drinks cart to the concierge rooms 2x per day
3) There was attendent at the food bar to hand you items, including soda cans and coffee
4) Embarkation gathering was in Lumeriers; they served us a dinner-worthy lunch that was great.
5) They didn't have a special character interaction event
Being on a ship that is at less that 1/2 capacity was wonderful. I felt like a normal person when leaving the theaters instead of cattle. Even though people were less than 6' apart, it was the first time I felt comfortable at the pirate party. You had to wait for elevators because that's how elevators work, but I never missed an elevator because there were too many people in a crowd waiting with me. In general, everything was just more "comfortable" and fast: the dining rooms, the hallways, the lines, castaway cay, etc.
