We had a wonderful time last week on the Magic!
Some of the highlights:
1. Castaway Cay--beautiful beach; good food; warm and sunny weather. Saw a stingray swimming near the shore of the family beach and even took some pictures of it.
2. Palo Brunch--great food with new friends
3. St. Croix--We did the West End Highlights tour which went to the Whim Estate Plantation; St. George Botanical Garden; and the Cruzan Rum Distillery. Although it was slightly unorganized at the very beginning, (they had to move some of us to another bus and the new bus driver and guide weren't exactly sure of the itinerary until after our first stop), we really enjoyed seeing the different sights. Would have liked more time at Whim Estate Plantation. Cruzan Rum was an interesting tour and the rum punch and pina coladas at the end were delicious.
4. St. Thomas--We did the Water Island Mountain Bike excursion. Our guide gave an interesting spiel about the sights we saw from the St. Thomas harbor as we went to Water Island. The bike ride was fun but not very challenging. You did have to be careful going down the hills due to loose rocks and potholes. Got to spend some time at Honeymoon Beach which was absolutely beautiful.
5. Our dinner companions, our online friends we met onboard, other cruisers we met and visited with, and all of the cast members including our servers, Alicia, and Tiruso, and our stateroom hostess, Glyness, made our cruise very memorable.
As others have posted, this cruise was very windy on our days at sea and Thursday, especially, the boat "rocked and rolled". It was actually soothing to feel the rocking motion in bed at night or during our couples massage.
We had a great time and are looking forward to taking advantage of the $99 bounceback offer.
If anyone has any questions, please ask....
