This was our 2nd time cruising (both times with Disney) and our 1st on the Magic. I do a LOT of research before any vacation and there are many mixed reviews of the 2 older Disney ships. I will try to be extremely objective in giving my review...which can be very difficult after factoring in my love of all things Disney!
We were extremely excited to take this cruise. As a matter of fact, we booked it almost a full year ago after our AMAZING experience going to Alaska on the Wonder. We love beautiful scenery and the opportunity to mix that with a 5 night cruise AND a few nights in NYC was just too good to pass up! So....here goes!
Embarkation: Extremely easy and organized. We took a 10 minute cab ride from our hotel to the port, unloaded our luggage and had it checked in within 2 minutes of the taxi leaving us at the curb....no kidding!
