What continues to intrigue about a cruise aboard Disney Magic is that it blends the traditional elegance of a vintage oceanliner with a kid-friendly environment.
Huge portholes line the walkways throughout the common areas on decks three, four and five.
Lovely fabrics, inlaid wood, and marble are used to great effect. Disney Magic's biggest attribute is its ability to please families of all ages and backgrounds, no easy task. There is, of course, the ship's adult-only Beat Street, an evening entertainment district with clubs offering country music, karaoke, cigars and cognac, and comedy. We met very few couples who were sailing without kids except our dinner tablemates, admitted Disney fans, who were celebrating their 25th anniversary. They were disappointed with the lack of quality activities although Disney has attempted to add more traditional onboard fare, such as bingo, skincare clinics, fitness workouts, volleyball games, and belly flop contests.
