Disney Magic holds a very special place in my heart. It was my family's first cruise. Many years later, I planned a cruise for my mom and I. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer four months prior to our cruise. She told every doctor that she had to get better so she could go on her Disney Cruise. We made it on the cruise and made some great memories. My mom passed away less than a month after our cruise. She truly lived for her cruise on Disney Magic.

You’re absolutely right to find a dirty cabin unacceptable. Keep being so ethical and honest, guys. 👍

I’d be furious if my cabin was that dirty. At $1000 a night I wouldn’t expect to see a single sign that the room had even been used by someone else. The state of that room makes me think the ship / service is going downhill. I have a friend who was also on the ship recently and they got food poisoning. The food was also pretty poor in general, so I do wonder what’s going on.

We lucked into a Disney cruise when our kids were 6 and 8. It was in late August and US schools were back in session and we used a bunch of reward miles. It was sooooo amazing, the kids loved it and so did we. Well, we looked to try again in a couple of years, and then EVERY year thereafter. We never went as it was so crazy expensive. Like $8000 for 4 people for a week in an inside cabin in the summer. We would have to add international airfare plus time at Disney itself, etc. etc. it was just not anything we could justify as a middle class family. I wondered so many times who pays that much and fills the boats.

Disney is expensive; however, this cruise in particular, was even pricier because it was the preview cruise to Disney’s new island destination, so it had premium pricing. Also, 3N Disney cruises are generally more expensive per night than a 4 or 5 night.

Just like yourselves Ben & David, my wife and I, took our children on our first ever cruise on the Disney Magic, followed a year later by the Disney Wonder, around 20 years ago and to this day, both ships hold a place in our hearts.

Icebox pie is called that because back in the early 1900's most United States farmhouses did not have electricity or refrigeration. They would keep things they needed to be cold in an icebox (literally a cupboard with a tray at the top that held a block of ice and shelves below where you could store milk, pies, etc). Icebox pies are no bake pies so they were especially popular during the summer months. There are many varieties but most feature fruits that would have been easily available during the summer like lemons or strawberries. That lemon looked delicious. I can't wait to sail on Disney!

Congrats on your anniversary! I can't imagine either of you without the other, you were clearly fated for each other! ❤

Like many others who have commented, the Disney Magic was our first cruise experience back in 2015. It was truly magical and we were hooked. Since that first cruise, we've sailed on every Disney ship (except the Wonder) and several other contemporary cruise lines. We continue to be impressed by the level of service and quality of food and entertainment that Disney ships provide to their passengers.

Your channel has helped, my wife and I watched you both for ages and decided to take our 1st cruise last December and loved every second, so thank you guys for being 2 of the people who inspired us to try cruising.

Aww, congratulations on your anniversary guys.🎉🥂💐💕 It was so sweet seeing Ben get emotional. I hope that the rest of this cruise was as memorable as your first. Hugs!💜

Bit of Port Everglades inside info for you: the entrance driveway for Terminals 2 (Princess) and 4 (Disney) is north of the North Gate (entering from 17th St. instead of I-595 or SR 84)) and therefore no need to go through gate security or show any ID's. You can just pull into the new parking garage or drop of passengers at terminal. We live here and cruise mostly Princess, so we know this to be a 100% fact.

We are taking our kids on our first ever cruise aboard the magic this fall and we have started watching videos about the cruise with our six year old to prepare him. For the last few days he has been obsessively watching your videos of the magic along with multiple others. He woke up yesterday morning asking to watch cruise videos. You seem to have acquired a dedicated fan. He proclaimed he wants to go on every cruise ship there is and is already planning a birthday cruise for himself!

I feel like it's more for other commentors to see rather than Ben & David, some good tips in the comments section about what to do in this situation.

My royal caribbean junior suite was dirty this fall, and the fridge didn't work at all. When we told the room attendant, they just offered us an ice bucket. I would have asked for this room to be recleaned, Disney would have happily taken care of it for you.

We love the Magic, too! Our first cruises were on the Magic and we also did a Transatlantic on her. Thanks for your great videos, and especially this one! And Happy Anniversary!

I was in radio in 1998 and was lucky to go on the inaugural cruise of the Magic. We were there when she pulled into the dock at Canaveral for the first time. It was a cruise for radio, TV and celebrity guests, not open to the public. Don’t know if they’re still there but the aft funnels used to have 2 radio studios in them and we did our shows from there. I was fortunate to do 5 such cruises over the years and they all have special memories, so I totally get your love of the ship.

Been on several cruises and just did the Magic this past March, and it immediately became my favorite. Like you both said, the feel of this grand old ship is nothing like the 'budget-Vegas' feel of the more modern ships of other cruise lines. Yes, they are pricey, but I've found them worth it. Disney knows how to make you feel special on these cruises. Also, there is nothing like seeing your children light up when they see a character. This ship has the perfect name.

You can forgive an average location when the food is excellent. It’s that sensory memory of food and emotion that will bring you back every time.

Years ago, my mother and I went on a Windjammer cruise on the Fantome. These were tall ships. The ship was old and decrepit and my mother was not happy. We dropped our bags in the room and went up to the deck where the sails were being raised, a steel band was playing and the sun was setting. It was magical. How quickly we went from disappointment to enchanted. What a great experience. On a strange note, my mother caught a tiny article in the newspaper years later, about the ship Fantome being caught in a storm with all crew lost, no passengers on board. Sad because she was a beautiful old ship.

The “adult areas” were bars; even the adult pool was 18+, which meant 18-20 year old girls would scream and shout all day in the pool. The crew were amazing but pushy parents forcing their kids into one line after another so they can get a Princess photo was insane; what kid likes to stand in a half-hour line?!

One cruise is on the Wish and the other is on the Magic! Thank you for making these cruise videos! Been loving your content for awhile! 😊 Thank you the love

"Never heard of an icebox pie" David you made me laugh! I guess it's a very regional thing but my grandma made about 10 different kinds of icebox pie.

Note to self, bring two ply

no one likes roughing it on vacation!

I just ❤ you guys! Aside from being home for quiet time with my family, your videos are the best part of my Sunday afternoons! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures and experiences!

Congratulations you two! Wishing you many more happy, happy years (and cruises). 🎉

Yes, I wouldn't be happy if my cabin was dirty.

H2O doesn't exist anymore. They sold everything to Disney and closed shop. Disney now makes all their own personal grooming products.

Good to know!

I have always respected your reviews as truly honest and independent. I've only been on 4 cruises, all Disney, and The Magic was my first as well back when it was fairly new. I honestly feel like I'm spoiled (or spoilt as Brits say) for any other cruise line. When people ask me why I keep spending so much more than other cruise lines and go with Disney, I tell them the various things which are included with your cruise, and that in the end, Disney is well known as the absolute kings of customer service. If I'm gonna spend so much money, I really want to know that if I have a problem, it will not continue to be a problem. Thank you again for your honesty and all the content, I for one certainly appreciate it.

With current cruise prices it’s not necessarily the most expensive anymore. 😮

Your videos never disappoint!! We always appreciate your honesty and thorough reviews!!! Love your style and sense of humor so much!!! ❤ Happy Anniversary!!!🎉

Why did you pay for the rental car and also pay for car parking when on the cruise? We usually hand the car back and get another one when we get off.

I believe they kept the car because David explained that they kept some of their transatlantic clothes they did not need in the car.

Yikes definitely unacceptable to be dirty for that price point!

I would never do a Disney cruise, but I absolutely did watch your video about it! Your posts just make my Sundays! :)

Happy Anniversary! Always a treat watching your video content. Thanks for sharing.

I'm confused. Did they give you an ocean view when you booked a balcony? If that's the case, I'd be POed.

No, we thought we booked a balcony but after checking we booked an oceanview. 🫢

He explained in the video that he booked that cabin not the balcony.

If you booked a balcony, you should get a balcony. Can cruise lines just downgrade you without compensation?

It seemed to me like someone just switched key card with them and took their better room

@@buzzweebee8685 How could that be? Ben & David's names and room # were on the key cards to that cabin. Still, considering that the envelope had been opened & they booked a balcony, I suspect there was a mix up of some kind. I would have gone to customer service right away.

@@Lovesapuzzle Yes, I saw that after I wrote that. Very suspect though! I would be right there with you. Perhaps their room was given to some invited non paying influencers. $1000 a night for the wrong dirty room!! Not seeing why this is a 'fravourite' cruise. :)

@@buzzweebee8685 The dirty cabin aside, I can see why the Magic is their favorite ship. We've sailed on the Wonder, it's sister ship, I really liked it. It's small size makes everything close by and with fewer people on board, it never felt crowded. As it was Ben and David's first and honeymoon cruise, I'm sure it will always be special for them.

18:03 Ben mistakenly booked a deluxe oceanview stateroom.

Back again to watch a video about cruising when I don’t like cruises just because the two of you are so lovely!❤

I love all the wood trim everywhere. This really is a classic looking cruise ship. I'd probably have called for housekeeping to get the cabin re-cleaned which I'm sure they'd have done while you were out and about. That was always something I loved was coming back and finding my cabin refreshed and it never mattered what time I left. Even if I came back unexpectedly, I never once caught anyone working on the cabin. It was like they watched the hallways or something and knew when you were coming.
