Traveled with children

My family and I travelled aboard the Carnival Miracle in March 2014 for a 7 day cruise to Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. It was our 3rd cruise, which all have been on different Carnival Ships. The layout of this ship was my least favorite of the three. First of all, there is only one dining room. It is decorated in a horrible purple and LOTS of it. Secondly, yes, there is a Serenity Deck, but it is located literally right below the water slide. They did not consider the children being right on top of the adult deck when they planned this out. The Serenity Deck is nice but not enough chairs and they are right on top of each other. Wish they also played some nice peaceful music. Thirdly, the Kids Clubs are very difficult to find. I had one child in Camp Carnival and one in Club O2. The rooms are located in the very front and it is not easy to get to like we have on other ships.

I am not a fan of how Carnival places the kids in their age appropriate activities. My youngest daughter is 11 and she was assigned to Camp Carnival. She was one of the oldest children there and was surrounded by very young kids, as young as 3 in the same room. She was not a fan of going to Camp Carnival most times, unless there was a Scavenger hunt or something else that didn't include the younger ones.

Food on this ship was mediocre. At first it seems great, then as the week goes on, it is the same stuff over and over. The buffet is gross at times with unsanitary people eating from their plates while standing in line. I do not understand how people can feel this is appropriate behavior to graze while they are still not done filling their plate? I frequented the salad bar, the pizza shop and the deli almost every day.

Cabin Review

Room was substantial. Lots of space for 4. Quiet at night but occassionally heard people running overhead as there is a walking area above us.
