Review summary

We felt safe. The people in California were very friendly and helpful. The Carnival staff was enforcing the mask wearing in many areas of the ship. This is different from a cruise I took earlier, but I appreciated the enforcement. We had a great time and would do this cruise again. Enjoy!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was very easy to navigate with the new covid protocol

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The lines at the buffets were short without a lot of waiting.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The hot tubs were nice, but some were smaller than others. The water in the swimming pools were cold, but one day the pool was heated and amazing.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I loved the Castaway Island Show and 88 Keys.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff worked hard and did a great job. I would like everybody to realize that just as corporate America is doing more with less, so is Carnival. It was brought to my attention the housekeeping staff has been reduced, but are cleaning more rooms. Please keep this in mind when dealing with any staff. They are working harder than ever.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship design was great. The common areas were clean. I would encourage all cruisers to explore the ship. This ship was decorated more ornately than the newer ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The bed was extremely comfortable. This room is a balcony, and the curtains kept the room dark enough for sleeping. The cabin was roomy and clean.

Ship tip

Explore the ship. The Miracle's layout is a little different than many of the other Carnival ships.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the port before and after sailing. The Queen Mary is steps away from the cruise terminal. Long Beach is very family friendly and scenic.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
We loved the port. We did a lot of walking and enjoyed a nearby beach. We felt safe.

Ensenada, Mexico

4 out of 5
We liked the port. We walked along the waterfront. Later in the afternoon, the waterfront plaza was very lively with music and family oriented.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The disembarkation was quick and efficient.
