Review summary

This ship was very boring, had hardly any entertainment. Neve saw the cruise director . We just came off the carnival Vista s month ago and that ship was awesome. Awesome night life, great show every night the the cruise director was completely awesome . Always entertaining. The Miricle, like I said earlier was completely boring . The only thing it had was the comedy for night life. I would never go back .

We just got off the Miracle yesterday and it was amazing! There was tons to do and we saw the CD everywhere - except the bar. We can’t wait to sail again on the Miracle.

We were on the Miracle in January on the 14 day re-positioning cruise. It was great! Yeah, I would have loved a Guy's Burger, but everything I needed for fun was there. I love the crew, and loads to do if you choose to participate. I, too, like the smaller ships (though not the smallest) for a ship that is easier to walk. We have enjoyed the huge ones and the small ones, Celebration back in the day, but prefer the mid-size. Spirit and Conquest classes on Carnival are our favorites!

We are not interested in going on the bigger ships. Sailed on Paradise and had an amazing time. Going on Miracle Nov 11th and Liberty Jan6. I dont like the idea of sailing with a million people. The smaller ships the crew seem more personable

It’s funny. As soon as I booked I asked this question because it was only after that I noticed how old the ship was (it was crunch time and one of the few that was over my birthday that went to ports I’ve never been on). I have had mostly good reviews and although I didn’t believe them all I have never really bad reviews. I’m going in expecting to just enjoy my birthday and not having been on the sea in way too long and the Cheers package will make everything better! I know my next cruise will be on a mega ship though. Just because I want to see how they do things like that.

We took the miracle this past spring on the Western Caribbean. Had a great time. Good was great, ship was clean, friendly staff. We had the carnival app and had a hard time figuring out what would be the most fun thing to do each evening. There was so much. During the day, we are on the deck and in the sun. Sorry you didn't have a great time. Happy for the rest of you that did. Cheers and happy sailing to all.

We sail the Miricle for Thanksgiving and despite its age and class, I fully expect we'll make our own awesome experience! I go in knowing this is a different and smaller ship but for 8 days on the newer class ships it would have had us sail once this year instead of 3 times. We'll choose 3 a year every time. Boring is as boring does....

The miracle is an older ship in comparison to the vista . I’ve been on the miracle and enjoyed but I love the new ships and won’t go back To the older ones . That’s my preference

I totally agree. Came of the Vista in February then did the Miracle in April. No one can compare to Matt (CD on the Vista) The only time I saw the cruise director on the Miracle was sitting in the sports bar every night! I don't even know his name. The Miracle was the worst, they didn't even do the hairy chest contest
