We just disembarked from the Magic yesterday. It was a 5 day cruise from Miami going to Key West, Nassau, Castway Cay with one Sea Day. It was my family with a 8 year old and a 2 year old who turned 3 on board. Plus my parents. We were in two connecting Concierge rooms. Overall it was a fantastic cruise. The biggest takeaway is that 5 days is too short for us. We did a 7 day last year and that is the preference. Felt a bit rushed at the end.
We had been on the Fantasy the year before. I preferred the Magic. My husband the Fantasy.
Couple of items about Concierge - The lounge was great. The hosts were amazing. Really amazing with my girls. They took great care of us. The coffee machine is still wonderful. The drinks were great. Food offerings okay. The bagged popcorn was better than what we had on the Fantasy.
Room - We did have individual bottles of toiletries. This will eventually be changing for Concierge but hadn't for us yet.
Food - Honestly the food wasn't great. Palo was wonderful. The shwarma station was fantastic. The MDR food was really just okay. I did love the theming of Rapunzels. True that there are no covers for drinks in the dinning rooms so plan accordingly. I kept forgetting the special lid I brought so we just asked that drinks not be filled to the top.
Ports - Key West was lovely. But the winner for the tour was Nassau. We did the Junkanoo Discovery and Forts tour (something like that). It was wonderful. I hate when people always say to stay on the ship. Stay on the ship if you would like but if you are looking for something that has a culture check this one out. The couple who ran the museum are just wonderful. My husband went on the Scuba port adventure. He was the only one. He said it was great.
Shows - The shows were fun. Other than Dumbo which my daughter hated.
Kids Club was great as always. And the nursery. So many characters visited both places.
The character lines were a bit longer than I remember from last year.
