Galveston to the Caribbean Disney Magic Cruise Reviews

The crew are amazing. Let me get that out of the way. They appear to work at least 12 hour days and went to great lengths to help us on our stay. They are the redeeming factor of this whole experience. First off, the price for this cruise was insane compared to other cruises. That made sense due to the IP and the Disney experiences you wouldn't get on another cruise. I wish when we were booking ...

We chose this cruise because I experienced a Disney cruise as a teenager and had a great time, so I thought my 4 yr old would enjoy it. It turns out he is not really into Disney movies or characters, and that was about 25-35% of the onboard activities (meeting characters). The kids clubs for the under 10 crowd were also crowded and did not have a great kid to counselor ratio (I think the teen and ...

This Cruise was the 1st for our family. Its was better than the best. We live in Amarillo, TX and drove to Houston the day before, did some shopping then headed to the port on the day of the Cruise. Getting to the ship was very easy and embarkation was very easy and quick. It was a very well done process. As you enter the ship they announce your name and that was such an awesome feeling. When we ...

We booked this cruise 10 days before the sail date. We were lucky to secure a balcony. I am a believer of arriving at the port the day before the sail date. For some reason, possibly due to last minute booking, my wife's school and my work schedule, we decided to drive up to San Antonio, TX the day before and then continue the drive to Galveston the day of the cruise; big mistake. I woke up around ...

This trip contained many 'firsts' for our family. It was our first vacation as a multi-generation family, our first cruise, our first time to another country, and the first time we tried so many different foods! So you will all have a better picture, I'll provide some family background. My son is 7 and Autistic. He is severely verbally delayed and does struggle with some sensory issues. He ...

We have a great love of the world Walt Disney built and after our Walt Disney World visit a few years back, couldn't wait to travel aboard the Magic. Our first Disney cruise exceeded expectations. The Broadway style shows were fantastic and of course the Disney characters and personality that the ship exudes lived up to everything we expect in a Disny experience. The only bad or sad thing I can ...

First of all, I want to explain my wife and I have been on a few cruises in the past. We have always loved the experience and were hoping to really be blown away by DCL. We went all out and booked a concierge level suite for our family at a significant expense, but after all - you cannot place a price on a magical experience, could you? Embarkation I must admit, I was a little disappointed ...

Our eight day cruise on the Disney magic consisted of my self and my husband, both in our mid-50s, no children. We are both huge Disney fans and had been wanting to try a Disney cruise, so when it came to our home port of Galveston and they had an itinerary to Disneyworld plus private island, we decided to book. We were slightly apprehensive as we were not bringing children, and had heard that ...

To be fair, I will put the good parts of the cruise first: The shows were very nice and well done. The singers were awesome and I was really impressed that some of the Disney dancers actually had some meat on there bones and weren't complete toothpicks. I really give them a hand for this! The stage props and effects were awesome and we really liked the fireworks, etc. Most of the staff were ...

My review is written from the perspective of a family traveling with with fairly young children. My son is 4, and my daughter turned 2 during the cruise and is still in diapers. In hindsight, I can easily see how parents of older children have a totally different experience. We live in Houston, so we made the 60 minute drive down to Galveston and parked at an off-site lot. We had plenty of ...
