Seaday brunch is the new one, but it is very good and has some different items on it. We all enjoyed it. ...take your own tea to the tea time, its ok, they are ok with that. I wish I would have known, I would have. 

The deli sandwiches are fresh made so you can get them however you want. 

 

The premiere cruise was for the gamblers, thats why the casino was packed all the time. And full of smoke. 

 Oh I agree with everything you said about this ship. I believe a lot of the Premiere gamblers were upset cause they were not getting all the Free stuff they have gotten in the past. I enjoyed the Cocktail party and the free drinks while in casino but I'm not a big gambler. It did make it hard to get on a slot machine and oh my, the smoke!!!!

Is there some where that I can look to see where this is?

We were muster station D. Worst drill we have ever been thru. Noisy,hot,unorganized and a complete waste of time. It is down front elevators on Deck 4 if I remember. While standing waiting for "Something"to happen, the ship starts moving for sail way. I can tell you no one got anything out of that drill excepted "pissed Off".

Have always had a balcony room for our cruises. Decided to try an aft balcony and absolutely love it. The middle was the best but all are good rooms. Deck 7 was all sun. Deck 9 was mostly shade cause of overhang which you don't have on lower decks. However, Deck 9 was under the aft pool and there was a lot of nightly noise. Be aware it is very quiet otherwise and is away from most all the action. A long walk to front. Elevators and stairs are close. Don't think you can pick a bad room. Have fun!

Just checked my boarding passes on computer and they different. But at top was Priority and the FTTF red circle.

We carry everything. Since our first cruise and our luggage never came. Full out search. Finally showed up the next morning. No explanation. Since that first cruise we carry it all on. I take a lot but have never had a problem with the carry on. This new luggage makes it super easy.

Just ordered 5-$100.00 gift cards. No problems today. Have another $500.00 to order and cruise will be paid. Hope to make it before Nov. 1

On our June 11 cruise we had 3 rooms together. They opened the 2 dividers the one could be hooked the other door just swung freely.

I don't normally decorate the door but our cruise on June 11,2017. (5 days) I have garden flags and magnets. We have 6 rooms and several kids and probably a drunk or two, so figure they can find all our rooms if they are somewhat alike. If we have to take them down then not a problem. also easy to carry for they roll up.

Thanks for all the good ideas on the snacks. I bring gum, hard candy, peanut butter crackers etc. Husband is diabetic and a quick snack to grab helps. Also, we will have 6 kids with us...

We have FTTF for our 6 rooms for our June 11,2017 cruise on the Magic. We plan on getting to port by 10:00. I've read it can get really backed up with traffic if there are several ships that day. The faster we can get checked in the better for us. Then we board after Diamond and Platinum and I read a large wedding party. 20 days!!!!

Our cruise is June 11, 2017 I got the first FTTF on Dec 31,2016 at 11:00am. It didn't open up again until after final payment around 45 days from cruise. We picked up 5 for the rest of our rooms that day and there were still more the next day. You just never know when they will put them on. Just keep checking daily and several times a day. Good luck.

Sailing on June 11th. So Excited

Will be right there with you on June 11th. 33 days

Thank you for this review. We ( all 20 ) will be on board June 11.

Just picked up our FTTF today at 45 days till our June 11,2017 cruise. Only other time it was New Years Eve Day. I booked in August. You just have to check everyday. Good Luck.

Always take my own tea. Also a large glass and make sun tea.

Lived in Florida 60 years. When it gets below 70F it is too cold. Love our 90F days. I can always get cooled off but it takes forever to get warm. Still take a lite sweater or hooded sweatshirt on all cruises. You just never know..

Following here,too. On Magic June 11. Deck 9 Aft extended balcony.

Good to know - will start checking about then.

I'd asked John Heald on the Facebook page and he said around 90 days out.

 

We want to be sure we get an early time since we have to checkout of our hotel and take their shuttle to the ship at whatever time they go :cool:

Our check-in time opened up for our June 11. cruise right after they went to staggered check-in. Because of traffic problems at this port we will be headed to port from hotel around 9:00 am. We park at port and use the 40% discount voucher the hotel gives you to park. Would rather get to port way early, park and get checked in then to get stuck in heavy traffic. :)

Sold out!!

One in our group has a decision to make very soon as finally payment is coming up. Her husband died very unexpectedly a month back and she now must find another person to take his place ( at a fee ). Cancel all together ( another fee ) or go by herself. Question is: can she do that? Go Solo!

Thank you for the nice reviews. We will be a party of 20. (So far) on the Magic June 11. All reviews are important to me and I love reading the good and the bad. A couple years back we sailed western and we found Cozumel port people to be very pushy. Thanks again, I enjoyed...

Thank you. Got 5 $100.00 one off verizon. While I was placing order they sold out of the $500.00's. You got to be quick!!!!

You mention renting a cabana at Margaritaville. Did you rent it when you got there or from a website? We have a large gruop also and that would be a good spot to come and go from. Thanks.

Still following and again, Thank You.

I found the sites to be the same except for the checkout. Verizon lets you send to a different address from your credit card and AARP had to be the same address as your credit card. No big deal just theirs always someone at the one address and not at the other. On $500.00 cards you have to sign for them. That's how it was for me maybe not for everyone.
