Review summary

Great cruise. Really impressed by the Miracle and its staff.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

What looked like a disaster sitting outside to board the ship, turned into an easy embarkation. Carnival has done this before and they were on top of their game getting people on the ship in a timely manner.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Some of the best food on carnival ships. The cruise was 15 days and the menu always varied to satisfaction. Service everywhere was outstanding, especially the Lido deck, where they always were there to make sure you had a good experience.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Gymnasium

3 out of 5

The equipment needs to be updated and better maintenance on it. It was adequate.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Comedians were really good, especially John MacDonald. Stage shows were typical but well done and entertaining.

Phantom Main Lounge

4 out of 5

It was cold inside the theatre all the time, as well was a good portion of the public areas.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

They were attentive to your every need. Great service and friendliness everywhere on this ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We loved the decor of the ship. The newer ones seem to be boring but this ship has character. The ship was very clean and ship personal were always visible wiping things down.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The bed was super comfortable. The cabin steward did an excellent job keeping our room clean and tidy. The ship is old and some of the furniture showed some age. We noticed during the cruise that some of the rooms were getting new carpets and other updates. But the cleanliness of the room overshadowed everything.

Ship tip

We have sailed on numerous Carnival ships and we can see why this is one of their top rated ones. Don't be afraid of its age, everything on the cruise was great. Service, cleanliness, food, and entertainment were better then expected.
