296 Experiences sailing through the Greek Isles aboard the Disney Magic
Steve and Christy recount some of their experiences and adventures as their family’s sailed aboard the Disney Magic through the Greek Isles. This was a port intensive trip, so most of the show is dedicated to talking about what they had planned and how it went in each of the six ports they visited. We also touch on our thoughts of how to tackle a longer port intensive sailing, whether a balcony is worth it on this sailing, how the entertainment differed (or was the same) between state side sailings, and tips to help you navigate some of the hurdles they faced in each of the ports. So grab your sunglasses, plenty of dry fit clothes for the heat, and don’t forget to brush up on your Ancient Greek History…we’re off on a nine night sailing through the Greek Isles aboard the Disney Magic.
