Earlier this evening, guests aboard Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Magic reported the ship experienced a brief power failure while at sea.
According to reports, the Disney Magic reportedly lost power just north of Cuba while sailing towards Cozumel, Mexico. The ship was reportedly without power for about 2-3 minutes, according to Pete Werner, a guest currently sailing aboard the ship. Werner posted a status on Facebook earlier this evening stating, “The Disney Magic is dead in the water on our way to Cozumel. Huge puff of black smoke seen from the front of the ship followed by power failure.” Werner also followed up on the status, commenting that after 45 minutes, the Disney Magic was underway again.
At this time, it is believed that no further serious issues have occurred with the Disney Magic. Disney Cruise Line has not made any public or private statement regarding the short power failure.
The Disney Magic is currently sailing on a 7 night western Caribbean itinerary. The ship spent today at sea after departing Port Canaveral yesterday evening. The Disney Magic is expected to dock in Cozumel tomorrow with no delays following tonight’s incident.

It’s interesting how something can be blown so out of proportion. Just because he didn’t report back that they were underway again for 45 minutes, doesn’t mean it was a 45 minute outage. Someone else onboard reported this: “On magic now. It was minor. All is
fine. No need for the panicking. The only thing that fb post did was
have dcl shut off Magics internet during
the two minutes there was no power. I can see why. It starts all sorts of rumors.
Dinner, shows, everything is a good. Toilets are working. Dont feel bad for us we are on a disney cruise and all is well.”
