My wife and I were on the Disney Magic Westbound Transatlantic cruise in stateroom 7634. This was our eighth cruise and the second with Disney (the other being on the Disney Dream). In most respects the cruise was superb.

Our cabin was much bigger than on the other non-Disney cruises we've taken. It was well appointed and the bed was very comfortable (a real concern for me because of some back issues). Our steward, Marvin, did an excellent job at keeping the cabin clean and the towel origami animals were so much fun we took a picture of each one.

The food was the one area we were disappointed with. In short it was mediocre - compared with the other lines we've sailed with (Celebrity, NCL and Princess) I would rate it last. I loved the rotational dining between the 3 main dining rooms but the soups and sauces were bland, the salads were bitter and the meat sometimes overcooked. On the night we had lobster (all six at our table ordered it) the lobster was so overcooked it was actually tough. It truly seemed to be convention quality food, not restaurant quality.
