Disney Cruise Line’s flagship, the Disney Magic, will be “re-imagined” with new spaces and additions that include a new grand atrium lobby and children’s area of “super hero” proportions to a three-story water thrill ride and a space to stimulate the “Senses.” The ship features new experiences with Marvel characters – "the first time Super Hero icons from the Marvel Universe have been introduced on a Disney Cruise Line ship."

Following a dry dock Sept. 7-Oct. 10 in Cadiz, Spain, the Disney Magic will depart Oct. 20 from Miami on a special five-night voyage including two stops at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, and a stop at Nassau. Scheduled are two-, three-, four- and five-night cruises from Miami to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean. Beginning Jan. 2, 2014 the Disney Magic will sail from Port Canaveral on alternating three- and four-night cruises. More info at www.disneycuise.com. -- Gerry
