The Magic was postponed several weeks. We sailed it in August 1998 and ended up being on the 6th sailing in the 3rd week (they were doing 3/4 day cruises then). The maiden voyage ended up being the last week in July, but it had been scheduled to start much earlier. Those that wanted to be on that voyage had to keep changing their travel plans as it kept getting postponed.
We had a lot of air conditioning problems on our cruise, especially because all the doors to the decks were automatic - they opened if you walked by, so the hot air would get sucked in every time someone walked past the doors. Our cabin could not get cool enough to be really comfortable. We still had a blast, but would not want to be on a maiden voyage.
