Review summary

Overall, this was my favorite ship so far, maybe a tie with the Horizon but, the decor beats them all out, my husband agrees. Great time, amazing food and beautiful ports.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
First time in the Steakhouse and it was worth every penny! MDR was great and the buffet was usually not overly crowded but, the food was great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The pools were nice, trivia and games were fun. We loved the comedians!!! Casino and Arcade were an expensive but fun distraction.

Entertainment

Did not attend

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always, all the service was excellent. Friendly faces and helpful answers.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Although there is a little wear and tear as to be expected with an older ship, we LOVED the design and decor. Purple is my favorite color and my favorite artist is John William Waterhouse. I cannot say how much I loved the design. The layout was easy to figure out and there were plenty of places to find a quiet spot.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was decent, nothing special but nice. The balcony was a little underwhelming, that is where I saw the age of the ship the most. The location was perfect, not too loud from the elevators but so close to everything.

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

4 out of 5
Whale watching was EPIC, lots of things to buy and street vendors. Beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Ensenada, Mexico

4 out of 5
Another beautiful port. Great restaurants close to the port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were off the ship early and quickly.

Our 1,2, and 4th cruise was on the miracle. Also once on the legend and February 3, 2024 will be the Spirit. The spirit class is our favorite class of ships. Remember if your not cruising your losing.
