Wow, it's day six already as this 7-day Alaskan sailing on the Disney Magic is winding down. This will be a bit of an unusual day: half sea day, half port day. We didn't arrive at our last destination, Ketchikan, until 2 PM. With all aboard at 7 PM, there's…
You've seen the ads. A flash sale price of $199 per person for a Bahamas cruise. When hotels are charging that for a single night, a 3-day cruise sounds like you stumbled upon the deal of a lifetime, right? Well, you didn't and I'm here to show you why. The…
Our first full day at sea on Disney Cruise Line's Disney Magic and it was spent cruising towards Alaska, providing a great opportunity to acclimate to the time zone and weather changes. The day started with a definite chill as we cruised at just over 19 knots, directly into a…
The Magic is calling once again with an all-new embarkation port and destinations. For the first time, the Disney Magic is sailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, and heading to the Alaskan coast. For the next week, we'll be sailing to the Last Frontier looking for whales, dodging icebergs (I promise…
It’s our final day aboard the Disney Magic as we head back to Galveston. Spending a sea day is always my favorite way to conclude a cruise. It gives that wind-down time before rediscovering dry land and that reality check of everyday life. For the most part, it was an…
Day 4 brings us to what I’ve been waiting for, arriving in Progreso, Mexico, and a trip to Chichén-Itzá. We have a fairly long day in port, as we were cleared to go ashore at 10:30, with all aboard scheduled for 7 p.m. This would normally be more than enough…
We’ve hit the midway point of this 5-night sailing as we pull into Cozumel, Mexico. As I often mention, this is not one of our preferred ports. Combined with a later arrival time, with clearance to go ashore at 11:00 AM and all aboard at 6:00 PM, along with overcast…
Our first full day aboard the Disney Magic is at sea, and not just any old sea day, a Marvel Day at Sea. As one of Disney’s signature offerings, this day is dedicated to all things MCU and is exclusive to Disney Cruise Line. It is only available on certain…
You would never guess it, but we're off again! I know, huge shocker. Try to contain your amazement. Finishing off what's been a good streak the past few months, we're back on the Disney Magic, this time sailing out of Galveston, Texas, and heading through the Gulf of America on…
Taking a look back at our week on the Disney Treasure, there was plenty to digest, literally. From the pure beauty of the ship to the immersive details and a few less-than-ideal experiences, it offered a wide range of ruminations. Let’s take a look back and break it down! Stateroom…
