Trip report from Magic post-drydock

We just got back from a 5-night cruise on the Magic, April 6-11, sailing from Miami, with stops in Key West, Nassau, and Castaway Key. We had a great time!

The ship recently had a dry dock, with some changes. This was our first time sailing with Disney, so we don't have a perfect picture of what the ship was like before. But the most notable changes were that the Cariocas restaurant has been re-themed as Rapunzel's Royal Table, and Pete's Boiler Bites has been re-themed as the Duck-in Diner.

Rapunzel's Royal table put on a great show; we were there the night of the Tangled show at the Walt Disney Theatre.

The Duck-in Diner seemed to be the same as Pete's Boiler Bites, other than the name change. Maybe we missed a subtle menu change?

One other thing we noticed was that there were more power outlets than we expected in our stateroom.

We were in room 1043, a Deluxe Interior stateroom on deck 1. The uppermost outlet in the photo was a slightly whiter color than the others, and looked as though it had been newly installed. It had two standard US receptacles, plus two ports to directly plug in USB cables.

The bedside also contained an alarm clock, and the alarm clock had two USB ports, for charging phones or whatever.

Below the clock, there was a spare 120V outlet (plus an outlet that was powering the clock).

We brought a 6-port USB charger, and had way more than enough capability to charge our phones and cameras.

Out of curiosity, did you use the new on-demand features on the TV at all? And if so what you thought of it? :)

I didn't personally, but our kids did. There's a deep catalog of classic Disney movies, along with more recent Pixar offerings. The kids were always wanting to watch one. They watched everything from "Snow White" to "Inside Out". I didn't browse through all the available selections, but there were many. The technical quality is excellent, and it's easy to pause/resume.

Personally, I'd almost prefer they didn't have any of that in the stateroom, because it was sometimes difficult to pry the kids away from it. But it was there and it worked well.
