Halloween on the High Seas, during Halloween, with Disney, what could be a better surprise for my wife that combines two of her favorite things??

This was our 3rd Disney Cruise, and 4th cruise overall (read my other review to see why we are never, ever straying from the Mouse again!) This was our first time on Magic and we were not disappointed. Disney certainly knows how to treat the customer right and give them the most value for their money. Everything, and I do mean everything was as much or more than expected. The Halloween decorations and touches were fantastic. And the day we returned from Walt Disney World excursion, to find it all transformed in to a Christmas wonderland of sorts was a welcome surprise after along day at the parks. Even though it was #3 for us, we still found exciting and new things to enjoy and explore.

Rotational dining is their "thing" at dinner and it is one of the things that keeps us coming back. You get to explore a "different" restaurant with a very diverse menu each night. Animator's Palate - the signature restaurant of the entire line - is exciting and beautiful. They found more ways to "plus it" up beyond any expectations or assumptions we had. THe food quality, choices, and portions in all of the restaurants were top notch. Cabanas for a buffet style restaurant was very good. Although we didn't experience lunch there, we had breakfast there almost everyday. Granted, it was the almost the same every day, but think about it - how many ways are there really to prepare the standard fare? Eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and french toast can only be prpared so many ways. There was excellent variety in those staples and each day did offer something different. Quite honestly, I am looking forward to my next DCL adventure just to have some more of that yummy banana bread french toast! Read more
