This Disney cruise on the Magic ship was a great experience. There were no problems at embarking time, but we had to wait a long time for our luggage, and that was a shame but the room was decent, providing comfortable sleeping for all my family. The meals are not great, but I think not everything is perfect when you are on vacation. 

For children this Disney cruise is great, they provide amazing shows and having the characters over the ship on a daily basis was fantastic. The movies are the latest, and they are in line with the theme of the cruise. The pools are not too big but we had a lot of fun there. 

The shows were absolutely the best part of the trip. My wife hates musicals with all her heart, and I was not sure how was she going to react when we were there. The first night, she was skeptical at best, but walked out of there with a big smile upon our faces. It just got better from there and we did not miss any of the night shows, and we caught one of the adult comedy nights at Rockin D. Disney that far surpasses any other production numbers we have seen in other places, and it was very close to Broadway. We also saw Rich Purpura once, and I wish he had a DVD, because we would buy it. It's been a long time since we all laughed that hard, it was a lot of fun! 

At Castaway Cay there is a nice Crystal clear water. The water was in the mid eighties, but very accurate for us. We played on the beach and in the water with the kids most of the day. The food at Cookie's BBQ was great and after lunch, my wife and I went to the adults only beach and it was so quite and relaxing. We had a 2:00 couples cabana massage scheduled and it was not cheap, but it was very relaxing. 

We enjoyed the ship a lot. The crew kept things cleaned and picked up. There were always people from the ship staff around taking care of all things. The rooms were nice and very clean. We applied for a Cat. 12 GTY and got upgrade to a Category 11. The sea was a bit rough and we felt it the entire time and the room attendant was sayings us the front of the ship always feels the motion the worst.
