Carnival Miracle Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was our first cruise, and probably our last cruise. It was a horrible experience and cost way too much money for our first cruise. Ensenada was not the same as it was 35 years ago when I was in the military and 30 they took advantage of us while we were in town charged my American Express $309 for four drinks I had to dispute this with American Express. Ensenada is very dirty and smelly. It smells like fish. I would not recommend Ensenada as a port to visit go further south to Cabo or areas one of the other resort areas. The whole experience wasn’t not good for both of my wife and I I would definitely recommend make sure you find out if the ship is new or older because this ship is an older ship. It’s a lot smaller than the new ships and it rocks a lot more on the water. The Buffay food was not that good we did have good food when you pay for the food the only part of the Buffay that was good was the breakfast omelettes those were pretty good. You could not hear what the captain was saying across the microphone because they did not have a speaker inside our cabin, I have hard hearing from the military so we did not get to attend a lot of the activities that they provided because we had no idea. It was our first cruise, so whenever they announced anything we missed it because it was only in the hallways that they had the speakers.

It was a nice first-time cruise. I would book my next cruise with more time off ship. I do not drink or gamble so there was not a ton to do on the ship. The overall experience was great. My biggest complain was the weather and you can't control that.

Overall, if you are not necessarily looking to have fun on the ship and just get port to port, then the Miracle is fine. It will get you there. But on this type of northern itinerary where more time is indoors, I would have liked a more updated ship. Would not chose to cruise on Miracle again.

We had a great time on this cruise trip, and we are planning to have another trip in the near future.

We enjoyed our cruise on Carnival to Alaska. The boat was clean and comfortable and the service staff were stellar. However, the lines/congestion in the buffet and food quality could be improved.

Onboard excursions are not always the most affordable option you can spend more than planned on board especially long cruises. Lots of food choices so you may gain weight.

The bottomless bubbles option is ridiculous. We had to constantly wait in line at the bars waiting for the bartenders to mix drinks, just to get a can of soda! Why don't you just set up soda fountains. Also, lines for food on lido deck, especially pizza, were also ridiculous. I stood in line for 15 minutes waiting for pizza and the waiter handed out pizza to 2 people and then said it would be another 10 minutes. I left without getting pizza. You need to increase the capacity of the pizza, deli and omelette stations.

Ship was nice. Loved the activities. Food was ok. Breakfast was cold everyday. Lines were really long. Not many options for the afternoon snack other than pizza and a burger.

Boring itinerary onboard. The dj music was okay could have been better. The director was not as involved as all past cruises I've been on with Carnival. The stage shows was boring never had encountered that before with my past cruises. Hopefully future cruises and itinerary will be better than this one.

Worst ship I've experienced in 28 cruises. Terrible food service, lackluster entertainment, ship felt and looked like it was 100 years old.

At the end of the day, I was happy to be on a cruise. The spa treatments were excellent (when I could get an appointment), but the food was terribly disappointing. I understand that Carnival may be considered to be a more budget-friendly cruise, but feel that the line could do much better with quality and selection.

I loved the route but the ship left a lot to be desired. I will go back to Alaska (this was my third trip there) and there is so much to see and do. Carnival did a great job with the naturalist lectures and other programs. I do think this program could even be more immersive with additional lectures (twice a day rather than just one) focused on Alaska and the individual ports (not shopping lectures, but highlight of each port lectures).

My wife and I love it. We are 75 years old retirees. Asian Americans. The ship has some Asian food, including congee egg rolls etc. There were even chopsticks.

There could have been more music. The shows were all the same and the karaoke should have been longer or different times.

We had a great time on the cruise. The best part of the cruise was the Chef's Table experience. It was well worth the cost. The food was fabulous.

We had a great time. No real negatives. I'd go again and do excursion at ports.

No compensation offered by Carnival for cancelling the port that we booked the cruise for.

in general it is worthy for the money, all the staff except the room and dining can be more welcoming.

This was our first cruise, but definitely not our last! We had such a nice time, despite the weather. The crew and staff were all so friendly and professional, and went out of their way to make sure everyone was well cared for!

This was our first cruise, and we most enjoyed the excursions at Cabo and Ensenada. It was a 5 day cruise and long enough to now know that we are not cut out for spending days at sea. By the 3rd day we were getting bored because the outside decks were closed due to high winds, and we both got very woozy from the rocking of the ship. It's just not our thing.
