Review summary

This was an amazing trip. Even though the MIracle is older it is a very clean and well maintained shop. We had a blast and will be sailing again... Hopefully soon!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick and easy. The only issue that we had is that my mom walks with a cane and I sent her upstairs with my kids to wait so she could sit while I waited on the rest of my family members. They would not let me walk to get her in the handicap section and then didnt want us to get on becuase they were not with me. It was a little chaotic trying to get them to our spot because I think we confused the workers. However in the end no big deal.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Nick and Noras was amazing. I had a ribeye my husband the waygu and my kids the filet. Every thing from the service to the food was remarkable. Dining Room - Some food was excellent and some was not. But overall decent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was ALWAYS something to do. We had a great time Having three pools on board it never seemed crowded. The Kids (11 and 18) did say that they wish there was more to do activity wise. The only water slide on board was broken and when working scratched all the kids backs.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Comedians were AMAZING. I laughed until i cried. The shows in the Phantom Theatre were ok. I only went to 2 and left early from one. I think Carnival has had better

Children's Programs

My son LOVED it! Always wanted to go back to Circle C

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the staff was amazing. ALWAYS Smiling. If I worked their hours I would surely not have a smile towards the end of my shift. NOthing was ever needed from drinks , to towels, to a dirty plate being removed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I love the pool layout. Only odd thing was that in order to get to some of the theatres you had to walk down room halls. Ship was so clean. People were constantly cleaning EVERYTHING. Vacuuming washing windows, cleaning up - all day everywhere. Cleanest ship we have been on and she is older

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I had originally booked a grand suite on another ship and moved to this one to be with my extended family. So we ended up with an Ocean Suite which was perfect for the 4 of us. There was a dressing area with a closet and shelves, and drawers on the vaity.. Another Closet out by the bed , set of drawers. and all the end tables had storage. I can not say enough about this room it was great and perfect of our family. The balcony had 2 lounge chairs a small end table and 2 regular chairs. My parents had a grand suite and that would have worked better for us (more closets and one extra sink in dressing area) But there are only a few on the boat that can accommodate 4 people. All in all we loved it

Ship tip

Get to the Comedy shows early. They fill up rather quickly to standing room only.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

George Town, Grand Cayman

Loved it! Went to Royal Palms. Paid a $2 entrance fee, free wifi and beach chairs were $12.00 nice and clean with bathrooms and a pool

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Gorgeous! Clean BUT get there early if you want a chair or reserve ahead of time.

Belize City, Belize

1 out of 5
We booked an excurision through Shore Trips to tour the city - It was a scary, unclean and appeared to be a third world country. All the trash from the island flows into the sea. We all aborted and had our driver take us back to the ship. I think if you book a snorkeling excursion that never goes into the city you would be better off.

Cozumel, Mexico

We did the beach buggy snorkeling through Carnival. It was amazing and we got to drive a good part of the island and see the coastline. LOVED IT!

Disembarkation
