Sailed Disney Magic after dry dock??

[texasmom121]

Just wondering if anyone has sailed the Magic since the latest dry dock? Any changes? Concierge lounge? Getting ready to sail in about a month and just curious what we can expect.

Thanks!

Yep! Concierge Lounge added above Quiet Cove pool in the forward funnel on deck 10, the arcade has gone and been replaced by Edge moving into that space.

A full BBB added, rehab of the Promenade Lounge.

 

I have read on other sites that the plumbing may not still be entirely fixed.

 

Disneycruiselineblog has a good write up on the dry dock:

So happy the Edge Club moved from Deck 2 to Deck 10! No problems with the Edge Club at all on our last cruise on the Magic (but it was the Northern Europe one which left prior to many schools being out so a lot less kids). But HUGE problems with noise and tweens running around Deck 2 on the Disney Wonder in 2013. Especially since the kids (both tweens and presumable teens) would hang out on the stairwell right outside Edge -midship- just beyond the "reach" of the counselors. This was often after 2am and security didn't do much. Most of the kids were traveling up to Deck 10 for food and up towards the teen club anyway- so they are now in close proximity to those things. Great move on Disney's part.

Sailed on the 19th Sept WBTA.

 

There were lots and lots of different plumbing issues. During dry dock they replaced all the piping according to the deck manager and this caused major problems with leaks etc. They had to replace a lot of the carpet on my deck (deck 6) after they fixed the problems during the voyage.

 

The Vibe entrance has also changed location so you now enter near the lifts and 2 of the lifts go up there. The old entrance was simply sealed off.

 

They've removed the internet cafe and replaced it with a soft play area with a swing door on to the main Promanade Lounge area. The internet desk is still where it was but facing the walk way more than it used to be and with its back against this sealed off area.

 

The Edge has a "20,000 leagues" theme according to the imagineer talk we went to onboard and did look very submarine-ish inside. It had some virtual like portholes giving views of the ocean and supposidly Nemo comes to visit but we didn't see him while in there at open house. It has large screens and games but isn't very big. The space it was in has been turned into rooms but these were still being worked on during the voyage so not in use.

 

No virtual portholes in the rooms (just to confirm).

 

BBB is on deck 10 above the spa area and so now you can only get the left Forward lift to deck 10 - all others have the button but it doesn't let you select it. It looks quite small to me and still has a lift in it but this is not in use.

It will be interesting to see if the Wonder has a dry dock not in Cadiz, but somewhere else since there have been problems not solved with two dry docks there to fix the Magic's plumbing issues.
