RuthlessBoss Posted August 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Such an open ended question. What one does like, another doesn't. What do you like? Are you a beach person, a snorkeler, a foodie, a daredevil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smyliecruising Posted August 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Loved reading a book on the aft on the deck overlooking the pool, with a frozen drink of course. That was my favorite spot on the boat. Don't skip the steakhouse or Italian restaurant. They are worth the up charge. Oh and we loved the conch balls and coconut shrimp at the pub!

stargate fan Posted August 8, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2016 What are the things not to miss on the Magic? Sailing 10-1-16 to Costa Maya, Belize, Cozumel and Mahogany Bay. If you like beaches, check out Tropicante (Costa Maya) on Trip Advisor. That was one of the prettiest beaches we've visited. Steve, the owner, is from Texas. He was a wonderful host. He didn't charge for loungers nor umbrellas, he just asked that we purchased a drink or a munchie. The four of us ordered two buckets of beer, a pina colada, fish ceviche, nachos, and guacamole, all made on premises and all delicious. With gratuity, we paid $70 total. Local all inclusives were $50 pp for the same ocean and the same sand. Plus Tropicante was a five minute taxi ride from the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went there once and weather didnt cooperate, cloudy drizzle day and the ship left very early so we didnt spend much time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a cruise booked at the moment but I'm making a note of this so I don't forget to go there when we do. Both the Magic and Costa Maya are on my wish list. Thanks!

Besides personally welcoming everyone, allowed people to use his cell phone to check up on things at their homes. Sorry about the lousy weather.

Email Steve at steve uhl @ sandals and skis . com (remove the spaces) and let him know when you will be there and how many people in your party. He'll send you specific, extremely easy instructions on how to get to Tropicante. Besides being a five minute ride, if I remember correctly, we paid $2 U.S. per person for the taxi.

Sorry about the lousy weather. What can you do about the weather. Went back there in Feb and another miserable day we just stayed on the ship. Funny thing is we went there twice both times ship left at 2 pm. Wish they would stay later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great Sent from my iPhone using Forums That's what I've heard! Also recently read that on embarkation and the first cruise elegant night the Steakhouse offers free wine. Of course I didn't book either of those nights. So, we may have a second dinner there (: Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
