Disney Magic Review

Additional details
Almost everyone we talked to before our cruise raved about how much we would *love* Disney cruises so maybe our expectations were too high, but this was not a great cruise. This was also our first cruise with kids so that may have something to do with it.
To start things off on the wrong foot, from the time we arrived at the Disney bus counter at the airport to the time we got to the ship no one offered to take care of our luggage. I ended up wheeling three suitcases all the way to our cabin myself. Not a relaxing beginning.
Our cabin looked great at first glance, but little annoyances kept appearing over the next few days. From a sticky substance on the balcony rail and furniture to broken floor tiles to a sofa bed that wouldn't close all the way it soon became apparent that maintenance was not a top priority on Disney Magic. The same could be said for many of the public spaces.
Cabin Review
Tons of space, but a support post in the middle of the living room gets in the way a bit. Not much room to walk around the queen bed. The wide balcony was great, but a deeper one would be better so a lounge chair could face outward. Very little noise from above. Deck plans lead you believe the door is right next to the elevator lobby, but it's a few feet away so there's no noise.
