Just back from the Miracle and all I can say is Wow!!!!

A little background on us  first time cruisers, mid-thirties, not big drinkers. Id been to Canada as a kid but other than that neither of us had ever traveled outside the U.S. I was considerably more excited by the idea of a cruise than DH. Since we hadnt cruised before we booked with a local TA and on her advice booked cruise air with Carnival. Knew we wanted a balcony so we booked an 8A guarantee since TA told us the regular BL guarantees on Spirit Class could include obstructed. We booked last January so it was a long wait but I discovered CC soon after and started to learn lots! We originally didnt even consider Carnival but DH only agreed to cruise if we did an itinerary with Belize and couldnt find one on another line for September. We definitely dont regret the choice!

Docs came a little less than 2 months out  room was assigned as 8109 on the Panorama deck so a bit of an upgrade deck wise and the upgrade held. Our flights came in as what we would have booked ourselves and were actually a little cheaper than on our own, but we are in a smaller area with only limited flights out which might have something to do with it. All went well but probably would book on my own a day early next time just so I didnt have to worry about it. Read more
