First, I want to commend Andy (from Germany) and Michelle (from UK) on impeccable service and hospitality as the concierge hosts. They give everything of themselves every day and are great with children and guests and this is NOT a reflection on them or any other ship staff/cast members for that matter.

But the concierge rooms at $8,500 for 5 days, or 4-5X what others pay, is a complete rip-off. Even if you account for them being 2x the size of ordinary state rooms, they are still 2-3X as much money on an apples-to-apples basis, and despite the 22 "suites" on the Magic (or approximately 2% of total state rooms) comprising ~20% of Disney's ship revenue, you get incredibly little for that money.

1. No dining privileges - you eat in the same restaurants, at the same times, and the same food as the other guests. Its not like other ships where you get free meals at specialty restaurants that others have to pay for. (note: you do get free room service, but tipping is expected)

Cabin Review

Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite with Verandah

Essentially two rooms put together to be one suite. Pretty standard ship suite - price was way too high for what extra amenities (e.g., barely anything) are offered to concierge guests.

Port Reviews

Key West

Key West is a nice town - good key lime pie

Castaway Cay

Very nice island - we stayed in the cabanas. Really nice, but $590 added on to your room bill for concierge guests already paying $8,500+ for 5 nights was insulting.

Miami

Average, nothing special about it
