Disney Magic Cruise Review 2011

Disney Magic Cruise Review 2011

Disney Magic is all around and not all of it is at the Disneyland theme parks because you can also take a Disney cruise on one of the two cruise ships such as the Disney Magic owned by the Disney Cruise Line operating out of Port Carnival, FL at its own Disney Cruise Line Terminal.

Disney Magic

Disney Magic has 10 passenger decks and is 964 feet long and weights 83,000 tons. It can carry 2,400 guests. It began operating in 1998. It was created, designed and fully intended to operate as a family oriented cruise ship and has family friendly features such as split baths with separate sinks so that mom, dad and children don’t have to fight so much over who gets to wash first. The split baths is very unusual on cruise ships. Also Disney cruise ships do not contain a casino also making it unique and family oriented. And just so children aren’t expected to study onboard there is also no library. If you want to read then bring your books with you.

Disney Magic

Disney Magic has created age specific children’s play areas to keep the interest of even small children. The ships colors are distinctive with dark blue hulls, matching red funnels and yellow, that is Mickey yellow, insignias. There are three main areas on the cruise ship. One of them is called Diversions which is in the entertainment district and is styled after an English sports pub.

The next is Cove Café which is an adult’s only coffee bar which is located next to the Quiet Cove Pool of which the name says it all. It is meant as a place for adults to relax away from their children.
