If you are a veteran cruiser like my self 15 and counting mostly on carnival,you will notice carnival has gotten cheap to save money. I don't have to explain, the vets know what I'm talking about

It's not cool to mock people for "complaining". They may truly have had a bad experience. It's good that most of us don't seem to have bad experiences, but the denigrating seems out of place in most cases.

I'm cruising on the Miracle for the 3rd time also, (on 8/27/16)!!! I just love cruising in general, it always makes me happy, I love dressing for dinner, watching the sunsets, sun bathing with a glass of wine, being with family & friends, etc!!! It will be my 14th Cruise on 4 different Cruise Lines!!!!!

The food is slightly above average. Same for accommodations. On July 2, we will board the Miracle for the 3rd time. It will be the 2nd time for this exact itinerary. It is all about what you make it!!! We love it because we get to spend time together. There is so much to do, walking, people watching, looking out the window, playing games, visiting.

I love Carnival oval. I cruise often to Hawaii and The Mexican Riviera, The food has improved and so had the entertainment, the comedians were the funniest on the May 21 to 28 Mexican Riviera Cruise.

Of course the food is similar to cafeteria food. C'mon people Carnival has to service 2000 plus passengers. I always have a good time. I make my vacay what I want it be and it is always awesome.
