We absolutely love Hawaii as this was our 3rd trip but would not do Miracle again

It was very good considering the current covid protocols

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Main dining room good overall. Buffet was sub par

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Serenity is nice. Wish there had been more daytime activities. Too much trivia

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were really good. Loved Bri Zee. She was so entertaining an awesome personality

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Way under staffed but the staff that was there were amazing. They worked so hard to please the guest.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Design is very unique. Lots to take in. Public areas were clean. We were surprised there weren't more sanitation stations to sanitize your hands. First ship we have ever been on where there was no one at buffet saying "washy washy" when we entered

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin cleanliness was great. Noli was our steward. We did have issues that had nothing to do with cleanliness. Maintenance had to come twice to repair AC. The bathroom light switch had to be replaced a couple of days later as light would not turn on. We gad 4 light bulbs out when we first boarded so cabin was dark unless curtain was open. Maintenance replaces. Next we had 28 degree weather....no heat. Maintenance came again. It worked for a day and we just gave up. We only had a couple of more days on ship so we just wrapped up when in cabin. To glass railing on balcony was so dirty you could barely see through it. We've done over 30 cruises but won't be on the Miracle again

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

3 out of 5

Honolulu, Oahu

2 out of 5
Had excursion to Pearl Harbour. When we got there we were told we were on standby to shuttle to Arizona although we had bought the excursion through Carnival. There was so much to see but we only were able to see the Arizona as we had to stand in standby line for almost 2 hours before we could shuttle to the Arizona. We were on Arizona Memorial for approximately 20 minutes , shuttled back to land and had to run to catch our tour bus in time. No time to enjoy everything Pearl Harbor has to offer

Kahului, Maui

4 out of 5

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

4 out of 5

Hilo, Hawaii

3 out of 5
We love Hilo as we have been twice before. Again we booked excursion through Carnival. Our tour guide had a great personality but was not very informative.

Ensenada, Mexico

3 out of 5
Did not do an excursion. Took shuttle to downtown and walked around. A lot of shops....all the same...vendors all urging you to their shop

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth process. We had an early flight and Carnival made sure we're disembarked early
