We really enjoyed the Magic!
There were many things we liked and many things we disliked! It is a much larger ship. There was plenty of seating around the eating
areas, but the lines for food were very long.
The buffet areas were not any bigger than the smaller ships. The hamburger grill always had a long line
that was 10-15 people deep.

| Bathrooms in the Deluxe Ocean View Room |
We had a deluxe ocean view room for our family of four. The room had a queen size bed, sofa bed, a
pull down bed, and picture window, as well as two bathrooms. One bathroom had a tub/shower and a vanity
with a sink. The other bathroom had a
shower, toilet, and a larger vanity with a sink. This room configuration was perfect for our
family. The boys could shower at the
same time, or I could get ready while someone else was showering.
There are two pools on the ship. The main ‘Beach’ pool has nice areas to sit
in an inch of water and also find shade under two covered areas. The ‘Tides’ pool at the back of the ship was
always crowded and had many kids in it.
There are also two hot tubs on each side of the pool, and those too were
often full of kids. They were not very
hot. The hot tubs on the Promenade deck
were very hot and large. They didn’t
have many people using them, so it was a great place to relax.

Chess - Basketball - Sky Walk and Putt Putt

The kids enjoyed the Sky Walk! Our family also played putt putt golf, and
went on the waterslides. You can also
play soccer, basketball, and dodge ball in the netted area. There are many activities for the kids. Our kids even participated in kids club. My older son liked the crew leaders in the
club for 15-17 year olds. One night,
they were out late, but there was always a crew member with them.

One of our favorite places on the ship was the Red Frog
Pub! They make their own beer, and it
was very good and reasonably priced. We
played bean bag toss and the Bimini Ring game.
We also liked the layout of the Vibe Disco. It is very open and a lot of fun! One night they had free champagne for the
ladies.

The ship also has a Serenity area for adults only and a spa
area (cost extra). The spa area had
fancy showers, steam rooms, and stone beds.
The Serenity area has hammocks, comfy seating, is quiet most of the
time. It is located just outside the
water park area!
All in all, we liked this ship, but still prefer the
slightly smaller ships. In future blogs
about this cruise and vacation, I will show more pictures around the ship and
in port! Enjoy!
