Review summary

We’re looking forward to sailing out of San Diego on the Miracle again in 2021. Our cruise was enjoyable & relaxing. Our next cruise is the Panorama in September. ⚓️

Embarkation

5 out of 5
San Diego is a smooth, efficient embarkation experience. We parked our car at the PARK & FLY cruise lot at 10 am. Their shuttle had us at the cruise ship terminal by 10:20. We stepped on the ship by 11:00 am. We did not have priority status. Awesome experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate dinner in the Main Dining Room 4 nights out of 5. We had early dining, 6 pm. Our wait team was great and we enjoyed the food. I tried several seafood choices (Mahi, Tilapia, shrimp) and enjoyed them all. I was pleased with the fresh vegetable options on the menu. I ordered my favorite dessert a few times the Chocolate melting cake. The service was fast & friendly. Our food was delicious with nice presentation.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the trivia and Comedy Club several times. The piano sing along with Mat at Sam’s piano bar was fun. The serenity deck always had open loungers or clamshells. This was a favorite spot for us The jogging track is small but the views were amazing while walking laps. My husband played basketball with some new friends.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We saw the 80’s show in the Phantom Theatre. The music was fun. It filled up early so I suggest getting there ahead of time for a good seat.

Service and Staff

Our stateroom steward, Gede made sure our ice bucket was full. The room was clean & spacious. Our little refrigerator was colder than any other cruise, that was a nice perk. 👍🏻

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We liked this ship. The decor was interesting and beautiful. Everything was clean & well-maintained. Gatsby’s Garden was a great place to read my book & relax by a window. We enjoyed walking around the ship and exploring daily.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was an inside cabin with French doors & obstructed view. We enjoyed opening the doors for the sound of the ocean & the nice breeze. The cabin was roomy with a couch and table. This was a wonderful room.
