My husband and I cruise with another couple. This was the first B2B for us and the 2nd half was by ourselves for the first time. Our friends can only cruise one week at a time. We truly enjoyed the Magic! I really liked the subdued color of the decor compared to the other ships we've been on. This was the largest ship we've been on so far but it didn't really seem BIG. We enjoyed walking a little more in an attempt to work off all the tasty food we ate! The wait staff was friendly as well as the room attendants we had. We enjoyed the entertainment and most of the specialty food areas such as Tandoor and Guy's Burgers. Our 2nd half was in a spa balcony and we really liked the relaxing atmosphere there as well as always finding a spot to park ourselves for a while. The balcony we had was #12023 right at the "T" in the hallway....this wasn't a concern. It was super quiet. Being near the front of the ship wasn't any more rocky than in the middle on this specific cruise as we had a lot of rough seas during this time. I would definitely get this room again. ON the first part of our trip we had room 1282. This room seemed to be right above a noisy area and I was awakened several nights in a row with what sounded like clanking. No one else in our party noticed it. This ship has a lot of extras to keep you entertained. We did the ropes course and found it fun! I'd definitely cruise on the Magic again!
