I've been on other cruise lines, and this cruise is by far worth every penny. For everything that's included you get so much. I went on the Disney Magic out of New York. On the ship was playing the most recently released disney movies in a theater. There was also complimentary transportation to Disney World including tickets, park hopers, and three golden fast passes. The cuisine that's included on the ship was much better than Norwegian's included meals. I'm looking forward to my next Disney Cruise. The bar is set high now. read more

3rd Disney Cruise 1st one was on the Fantasy (best cruise ever!) 2nd was the Wonder (meh...) 3rd was the Magic...almost identical to Wonder + a super cool waterslide Despite my love for the ships or lack thereof...the experience is what really makes Disney Cruises so magical. This cruise in particular was Thanksgiving week and was a Xmas themed cruise...so we celebrated both holidays on the ship.... there was a life sized gingerbread house...yes it was real gingerbread! the aroma wafted through the lobby as we entered the ship. amazing xmas tree adjacent to the gingerbread house. characters came out throughout the week dressed in different outfits (ex: captain mickey, sorcerer mickey, santa mickey etc... I saw goofy in workout clothes, santa clothes. My daughter was excited to see chip and dale doing yoga in the lobby) This one had it's pros and cons... pros... -holiday season -we celebrated multiple holiday's -ports were Castaway Cay and Disneyworld...no lame ports! -food was better than wonder -service was fabulous con's.. -too many little whining kids! i don't remember this on the previous 2 cruises...but those weren't during a school holiday -small ship...not as much fun as the Fantasy... yes of course we will go on another Disney Cruise...but now that I've tried 3/4 ships...i know that i will likely only go on the Fantasy again ..or the Dream (which i haven't tried) or one of the future ships that are soon to arrive! read more

Family absolutely loved our first Disney Marvel cruise! We took the 5-day maiden voyage - NYC to/from Bermuda during the 1st week of October 2018 on the older but recently renovated 2700 passenger Disney Magic Cruiseship. It was also the month of October so besides the festivities revolving around Mickey Mouse and Friends, the Disney Princesses, and Pirates of the Caribbean, and other favorite Disney Junior characters, Halloween was also part of the celebration. For our family of 4 which included our 4 and 6 yr old, we spent extra for an Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah so we had a private outdoor balcony where you can enjoy the sunrise with some hot coffee from room service (it's included in your meal plan except tip). Our room was on the port (left) side if you're facing the bow (front) of the boat so we saw the sunrise every morning during the journey south to Bermuda plus we were facing the island as we entered Bermuda waters, so great views. For the kids' playful experience and for when the parents want to have a little me time (relax by the pool, go to the spa, go for a jog, watch a movie in the theater, take workshops like learning how to fold towels into an animal, or catch some zzz's), just take the kids to the Kids Club where there are so many fun things to do including scheduled activities the kids will absolutely love. The friendly staff will watch them for you, they will be given special bracelets with RFID technology and you can easily be contacted through your mobile when your kids notify a staff member. TIPS: If using the Kids Club, make sure your kids are ready to be separated from you or there will be drama. Also the more the merrier if another family or group of close friends tag along. Try to check in early to board the ship so you can maximize your time and get settled in and explore while you're still parked on the Hudson River next to the Intrepid. Lose 10lbs before your trip so you can gain it all back on the ship. If you are a self travel planner and want to be economical, book excursions for Bermuda on your own in advance. Just bring the cash to cover it. And bring medicine if you get motion sickness. So much to do on the ship for everyone, so do as much as you possibly can as a family and snap away with your camera. You'll have memories of a lifetime especially if this is your first. And dont worry about feeling the sea legs after the trip as if you're walking on a mattress or trampoline. It will eventually go away. Bon voyage! read more

I'm a first time traveling with Disney. I have made a huge plans with my family of about 10 to make my daughter 6 birthday magical. We are leaving at Miami Florida. On Feb 5 2022. We had to post pone our trip already once due to Covid and now we finally having this trip. Why am I giving it a star before my trip? You may say. Well it seems that one week before we board Disney decided to change our change our plans last min and fail to advise and keep posted that sailing to the Cayman Island- George Town was going to be impossible. Disney decided last min that we will go to the Bahamas, which I have already been and obv don't want to go again. Reason why we pick this trip was to go to the cayman island but instead of giving us months in advance notice or letting us know this was going to be a possibility they decide to tell us last min and change. Disney option is move your trip once again and disappoint our daughter or file a claim since u have trip protection but will only get a 75% refund and that is not guaranteed. What type of customer service is this. The least they can do is refund us a portion of our trip especially that we bought paying guest, and spend thousands of dollars. Disney failed to keep their customers on the loop, everyone claims that Disney cruise is the best they do it the best, well guess what this has left a sour taste to my mouth and I'm forced to take a trip that I'm not happy about. Disney is a multi million dollar company and is failing to at least refund half of our money due to thier last min changes and not keeping us in the loop with Cayman island. Disney keeps us in the loop with everything else but this major change. I will not be recommending anyone on this trip. Disney you have failed read more

The only thing I have to say about the Disney cruise that I didn't like was the don't accommodate children with autism. Being that they a big company you would think they would be better educated on children with autism especially in Disney world they should have a better program for children with disability. It a shame that sesame place even Doney Park had a way better program. Tell me how sticking a 4 year old with kids that are up to 11 years old screaming and running around works. I told the manager about it and all they said they do a report. She did not want to go back at all. She was with me the whole trip. They over price . read more

Unbelievable. Never been treated so well on any vacation. Booked Disney magic to St Johns Canada. Our food servers Aubrey, Agus and Ramsey were awesome. So was Ronald who took care of our room. Will only book Disney Cruises from now on. Truly Magical. Finally, Stone crab legs for lunch everyday. read more

Don't waste the extra money. The food was terrible!! First night I ordered Seared Tuna - I think it was a frozen piece of Tuna as it was so dry. They no longer have Lobster night, instead you'll dine on pork chops, pasta, and meatloaf. The service was really poor both in the dining room and Guest Relations. They told me it was because they had a bunch of new hires. The Kids club was chaos! Children between 3 and 12 are brought into a very large room to fend for themselves. Next cruise will be on Royal Caribbean. read more

Traveled on the Disney Magic sailing from NYC. I'm a veteran cruiser but this was my first with Disney. This ship is very clean, organized, and had outstanding services - especially for kids. There are tons of adult-only entertainment options and exclusive parts of the ship to keep adults happy too. The reason I gave them only 3 stars is that the food was horrible. Really surprising considering that the cruise industry knows how important this is. The food was always cold, overcooked, stale and the wine was mediocre. Disney needs to bring the caliber of cuisine it has in its resorts to the ships as well. Not sure if we are going to go again considering the markedly higher cost given the food issue. read more
