We sailed on Carnival Miracle from Seattle to Alaska in September. Alaska was fantastic. The scenery in Glacier Bay is breathtaking. The weather we had in mid-September could not have been better. We booked a room with a wrap-around balcony which was awsome. Those are the good things I have to say.

Most aspects of the cruise were far less laudatory. The ship is old and tired looking. The decor in the main dining room is horrendous, and I am not one to notice decor, but this is just awful. The whole room is dark and purple. The food was terrible in all places- the buffets were awful, food in the main dining room was mediocre at best, even the Steakhouse, where we ate three times (and has been good on other Carnival cruises), was really not good. Fresh vegetables were extremely scarce. The salad bar looked pitiful and consited mostly of canned things. It's an Alaskan crusie and they had no crab and the halibut and salmon were hardly fresh. The entertainment, other than the comedy shows, was just OK and there really was very little of it. The piano bar only had someone playing on a couple of nights during the entire cruise, the nightclub looked sad and empty, and a great many of the talks and activities were designed with no other purposed than to sell you things (and not very subtely). The crew, especially the room attendants and servers in the main restaurant were great, but they couldn't make up for all of the lackings on this ship. By all means go on an Alaskan cruise but do yourself a favor and pick another cruise line.
