I was pleasantly surprised at the good value we got when we booked this family cruise on the Carnival Miracle. We traveled the week of April 29-May 6 and I knew ahead of time that this cruise would not compare to my first choice, Royal Caribbean. But really, their business model works. We had the sweetest wait staff at dinner, I loved them all- Arturo, Alemar and Shee. The dining staff seemed to ...
I wanted to do a seven day cruise with a family of four without having to fly out of the area to catch a cruise. I read a comment from one previous guest who said that Carnival is the Motel Six of the cruise line. After returning from a Mexican Riviera cruise I would have to disagree. My family and I enjoyed our time on and off the ship. The facilities were adequate and the staff were helpful ...
Though I am a Princess girl, I cruised with a friend who is a Carnival fan. She won. The dining room food was excellent, as were the waiters, but the buffet was stingy. The carver meat was always stringy, tough and overcooked. The choices were thin. Throughout the ship, pastries, in fact most baked goods, tasted more like packaged goods. The room was big enough. The bed was narrower than a twin, ...
Chose this cruise for the dates, and I'll be more intentional to avoid spring break weeks in the future.
Frequent Carnival customers and it is increasingly difficult to move down to the older boats after being on newer ones. Primarily that'll show up in my comments on the cabin. Liked the overall décor.
Our first California departure as well. Won't become our favorite, but I understand why ...
We did not have a say in selecting this cruise. Our daughterinlaw set it up as a family group cruise. We were generally "satisfied" but I'll elaborate. Our last two cruises were on Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. Carnival finishes a poor third behind NCL in first place and Royal in second. Food OK, very good in the main dining room. Layout of buffet confusing and chopped up. Norwegian a ...
Close to home for my Birthday Cruise~~~
My fight was delayed so I boarded with no one in front of me, no line, I'll be late more often :)
The ship is showing it's age, especially the atrium, dark, dull & dingy is what I think it is...needs to be painted a light color and needs new lighting too it's just so blah no one seemed to be spending any time in there at all...bar is boring...please ...
I went with my family of 4 and 9 other friends. It was my first Carnival cruise and my wife's second. I hadn't heard great things about Carnival. I heard it called the Motel 6 of cruising. My expectations weren't high for the cruise. Well I was pleasantly surprised. From day one of the cruise the service was outstanding! I have been on 3 other cruise lines and must say that Carnival Miracle ...
I spent my 50th Birthday on board Carnival Miracle and had a beautiful cruise.
My room Steward was a complete Gentleman, zipping gowns, tying bows, and keeping my stateroom tidy and pleasant.
My Late Dining Assigned Seating was wonderful every meal, from Service to Cuisine.
The Shore Excursion Desk rearranged my entire itinerary based on a few questions I had. This team scored a Home Run ...
This was supposed to be a fun Spring Break trip for my family but it was the worst vacation we have ever taken! Both myself and my husband got food poisoning from food we ate on the ship! We returned home dehydrated and very sick!
This was the first and last Carnival cruise we have been on! We cruised with Norwegian three times and Disney once. We were not impressed with the Miracle. The ship ...
When thinking about this cruise, my mom and I were a little bit apprehensive about going on Carnival during Spring Break. But, we easily justified it using these two reasons. 1. We survived Carnival Breeze over Christmas with 1,500 kids. 2. Spring Break seems to stretch weeks upon weeks so it was unlikely the entire USA would be off during the week we selected. As it turns out, we had ...
