Cabin: Balcony

Magic was our first cruise and I had high expectations for it, mostly it didn't live up to my expectations.

Boarding: It was much smoother than I thought it was going to be, so A there. We were in the ship in no time and felt a bit lost at first. We were talked into a Cloud 9 Spa tour, skip it! It was overly long sales pitch, I was bored 1 minute into it and regretted it. We gave an excuse and left that sales rabbit hole.

Excursion desk: waits were long, but staff very helpful: We book the behind the scenes tour right away and got the last spots in it.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8D

Very HOT and smelly, Windows and Balcony windows where all dirty, looked like it was washed for ages.

Great location tho and quiet despite being right by the Lido deck and Pool where all the action is. 5 star location and we loved where it was.

Hard and uncomfortabe sofa beds
