Review summary

I loved the Miracle. For an older ship there is lots to do and lots of space. It never felt crowded other than sea days on the Lido deck during lunch. The art throughout the ship is so interesting and the mural while you take the glass elevators is so pretty. I highly recommend this ship. I'm sad it's leaving Tampa next week.

Embarkation

Super quick. We were able to almost walk right on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The servers in the main dining room for Anytime dining were great! We had a bigger group so we were often sat at the same table. The servers always remembered us and our drink orders. The deli was slow at times bit to be expected when only one person was working it. The sandwiches were great though.

Onboard Activities

The 80s themed deck party was a blast.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

You can tell they really overwork their room stewards. We hardly saw ours but our room was always cleaned daily. The bartenders were great as were the waiters.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

For an older ship I really enjoy it. Lots to do and enough space for everyone. It is easy to navigate once you know where everything is.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had an extended balcony cabin. Even with 3 people it was very spacious.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

One of my favorite ports. The Royal Palms Beach resort is great if you want to do 7 mile beach. $2 to get in and use their amenities but you still have to pay 12 for a chair on the beach.
