Review summary

The Miracle is a ship in need of repairs as we noticed a lot of rust and peeling paint. Getting us on and off the ship seemed sloe especially during embarkation when we had to stand in the hot sun for an hour.

Food was edible but not up to par compared to other cruise lines. I could not see paying $35 a head to eat in a fancy dining room when I had already paid for a meal.

The décor of the ship was a mystery as we could not figure out the theme. Looked like maudi gras in some places then other was historic soling figures.

Red Frog pub had a band but they would play for 1/2 an hour then take a half hour break, which would prompt the bar to clear out. Otherwise the band was very good. Same thing at the comedy club, the comedian would get the crowd warmed up then cool them off with a half hour break. Room was ok but small as on any ship nothing fancy.

Next cruise I will steer clear of the Miracle unless it has been upgraded.

Reviews doesn't say when the reviewers sailed. Going to Alaska out of Frisco June 23. Don't believe ship will under go any repairs until then. Any recent comments about the ship?

Complain, complain ,complain ,so sick of it !!! We were on the Miracle in Jan. and we are doing the Hawaiian cruise on her this coming Jan. Sure it wasn't my favourite ship but I'm not about to bash it and spoil it for other guests ..A cruising is what you make of it plus it isn't up them to keep you entertained 24/7 ...Also we never had a problem finding something to eat that we enjoyed !

The Miracle came out of dry dock with upgrades earlier this year.
