"Best bang for the buck"

Ship: Carnival Miracle
Sail Date: May 07, 2013

Cruises Only did a very good job of aranging transportation from Florida to Seattle,and saved us a couple of hundred dollars on our airfare.It took longer to get on and off of the ship then it should have,but other then that the cruise was perfect.The food in the dining room was excellent,The balcony rooms on the Miracle were very nice.The ship was well kept.and clean.And as always the crew was grate.I could tell that Carnival was stepping up a notch on there entertainment as all of the shows were very good. The alaska cruise was the most beautiful cruise that I have ever been on.It should be a must on your cruise list.I think that the best time to go on the Alaska cruise should be very early in the season[because of the snow] or late in the season ,because of the fall colors.Do not take heavy winter jackets ,but light weatherproof jackets. The weather is not very cold but you will get wet. Do not miss this cruise BUZ

Alaska inside passage

Ship: Carnival Miracle
Sail Date: May 07, 2013

Sights were incredible, seas mostly calm, ports interesting but (seen one seen them all) type shopping areas with too many jewelry and tee shirt hawks. Touring white pass was beautiful, got great pics of glaciers, water falls and some wildlife. The last stop was a bust. Victoria at 8:30 pm 'til 11:30 pm is a waste of a good evening.

What an experience!

Ship: Carnival Miracle
Sail Date: May 07, 2013

Although the accommodations, food and service were impeccable, there were few glaciers to be seen! I think I have more ice in my refrigerator than I saw on this tour. Furthermore, the crew needlessly alarmed my family telling them I left all my belongings on board and could not have possibly left the ship and was not on board so I must be overboard! In actuallity I had my suitcase, carryon luggage and passport...they just neglected to sign me off the ship. When I arrived home, I was met by a terrified son, daughter and roommate who all thought I was swept overboard!

ALASKA MAY 7

Ship: Carnival Miracle
Sail Date: May 07, 2013

I have been on 5 Carnival Cruises and found this one a disappointment. Staff and Captain was excellent. Food was average. Entertainment was average. Ship was clean and room comfortable. The ship Carnival Miracle was just plain ugly. Gothic and Roman thyme all mixed up. I have loved all the other ships I have been on but this one must be for the younger crowed. We had a great time in ports and weather wasn't to bad. All except Canada at Victoria. We got there a hour late and it was very cold. We booked a horse and carriage for tour. It was so dark we could not see any thing except the Gov Bldg. that is all lit up at night. Spent a $100 on this and it was a real rip off.Also we got locked out of our room one night. Took 45 minutes to get back in.Last day of the cruise, everything shutes down. I realize they are cleaning it or the next cruise, but should not shut down dinning room and ect. for the present one. Because of port time we had pizzia for lunch and a sandwich for dinner.

The Last One of the Season to Alaska!

Ship: Oosterdam
Sail Date: Sep 23, 2012

Great cruise all the way!!! Even though we could not get into one port because of weather issues we did not feel deprived in any way! Highly recommend the Holland America cruise line and the Oosterdam.

a wonderful cruise

Ship: Westerdam
Sail Date: Sep 15, 2012

the ship was older, but so clean. Enough room for all, and easy to follow deck plans. I did not know there was a 'crow's nest, with panarama views, but that is my fault for not looking at everything. But that was my only complaint.
