We loved the Disney Magic! What a beautiful ship and friendly staff. This was our second cruise, and our first cruise with our children along. We booked on an inside guarantee special and got two rooms next to each other on the 5th floor. The rooms were great, spacious, pretty and very well kept. The bed was surprisingly comfortable.
Embarkation was easy, and the people were very friendly and helpful. I LOVED that they announce your family and clap when you enter, that was very special. The area to wait was very clean and pretty and comfortable and the process did not seem to take long.
The food was great and plentiful! Some of the dishes were amazing and some were fairly "run of the mill". Either way, I didn't have to cook and we certainly never went hungry. The presentation was great, the service was great, the kids loved Animator's Palate and I loved Lumiere's. The other restaurant is not my favorite type of food but it was good. The servers cut the food for the kids and then did magic tricks for them when they were done eating to keep them occupied.
We had two cabins next to each other, and booked them on a guarantee rate. Personally, I loved this part of the ship. It was centrally located vertically, so there were many times we could just take the stairs where we needed to go. The rooms were on the same floor as the kids programs, which was convenient as we traveled with kids. Our host was great. The rooms were spacious compared to others we've had before, and the beds are VERY comfortable. The area was especially quiet and I hope to book on the same floor if we travel on the magic again.
