Cabin: Mid-Ship Inside

We went with 4 other adult family members for our 30th anniversary. We had a great time! Cabins were good, food was good and plentiful, we all gained about 5 pounds each! We liked Magenta so much, we ate there our last 4 nights! They treated us very special for our anniversary. The maitre'd Deron and hostess Rhea were awesome.

Cruise director Ferdie and his staff were great! We saw them everywhere. We were definitely entertained!

Cruise Critic tips used: 2 cheap battery operated candles to light the room, used Downy wrinkle spray that we put on and smoothed out on our hanging clothes when we unpacked, big magnetic clips to hold hats/head scarves, different colored pens to choose what each of the "decision makers" used on one Daily Freestyle itinerary each day so we could see what things we wanted to do together, and what time to eat meals, where family might be. Each family can take a picture of it. But we did do some things on our own, including reading a book and crosstitch brought from home. Also, I brought sealed tea bags and water flavor powder packets, an empty reusable water bottle and a travel mug and every night we went to the buffet beverage station and filled up with what we wanted and brought back snacks. We also filled up the water bottles with water before going ashore. You have to finish the water before you get back on board.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Inside

Cabin IB

Regular inside cabin. Clean and enough space for 2. Good bathroom. Not a lot of space for the toilet for long legs or heavier people. Jimel our room steward was great, always getting anything we asked right away. Maintenance was also great had a leaky sink, told Jimel, it was fixed while we were out. Our safe was low on batteries, fixed within half an hour. A ceiling light started to blink, also fixed while we were out!
