Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent service from Sutamba (room steward) and waiters Ruel, Vimal, and Mawi. Cruise director Frankie was great.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was very clean and always being cleaned. The decor is gaudy and doesn't really match or have a theme.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Had an adjoining room with the two balconies put together into one big one. Very clean and well kept by Sutamba. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

Enjoyed the Miracle a lot more than larger Carnival ships I have been on. Really friendly staff.

Little French Key is paradise on Earth! Little bit of a walk to the cab to Little French Key but I could use the exercise.

George Town, Grand Cayman

Went to Stingray City with Soto Cruises with Rudy and John. Really Great! Port is very affluent and clean.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Fogged out of Tampa Port but Carnival did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. Kept the bars, buffets, pools and entertainment flowing.
