Review summary

overall great but the lackof national tv channels on all carnival ships is ashow stopperfor my wife. this was our 13th cruise all on carnival but guess we will haveto find another cruise line.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Exceedingly easy to get on in Tampa. we used the valet parking just at the door. My wife uses a wheelchair the the staff made it super easy. Also saw some scooters and rollators for rent right in the terminal.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We very much like the Miracle. ship is very clean. Staff selection and training is excellent. Food is good with maybe the exception of French day on Lido. comedy clums and music groups were nice. But beware====carnival has eliminated the major tv networks. that was a huge deal to my wife. probably means we will have to find another cruise line. that was ouronly negative.

very easy for us in the wheelchair but may have been tough for others. some kind of slowdown and only two customs officers working but that is not carnivals fault

What does tv matter record that at home and watch later.

Wow.. On a cruise with all the things to do on a ship and you worry about tv channels ?? That is the last thing I would be thinking of on a cruise.. Leave the tv watching for at home... You didn't pay to sail on a ship and watch tv...

Lack of tv channels is worth a change of lines? Interesting.

Sounds like you had a great trip, but willing to change because of TV?
