Embarkation: We arrived around 11 and there were several people waiting, but nothing too bad. We had a suite so we had VIP check-in which was FANTASTIC because we moved straight to the front of the line and was done in 5 minutes. There were still people getting off the ship when we sat down (this was a foreshadowing of the disembarkation). We waited around a half hour and then we were able to board the Miracle at about 12.

The Ship: The decor is LOUD, but it is fun so it wasn't too bad. I really liked the atrium and the glass elevator that is there. The layout is very nice and all of the areas are very accessible and not too hard to get too (unlike other ships that don't let you go all the way through the whole ship. The ship was very clean, I didn't see any worn carpet or stains like other people had said previously. The only bad thing was that there was a lot of cigarette smoke smell around the ship, but that is more of a people thing than a ship thing.

The Room: We had the aft wrap around suite 6260, a VERY nice room. The setup is a little awkward and hard to explain, but I'll do my best (I'm not sure if all aft wraps are like this or not). When you walk in there is a small hallway with a bar-top/desk on the left side. This leads to a sitting area with a sofa, table, and TV this is good place to watch TV if the other people you are with are sleeping in the bedroom. From the living area you can go through a sliding door into the vanity area, though the door to the bedroom, or out to the balcony. The bathroom was VERY nice and spacious, about the same size of a normal hotel room. There were double sinks and a shower/bath with sliding glass doors. We were a little upset that we didn't get as many free samples as other people had talked about, but we still got free razors which was nice. The bedroom was nice and had 2 doors which allowed it to be secluded from the rest of the room, which was nice for an afternoon nap. There was plenty of closet and drawer space. One of the coolest things about the room was the lamps. They have a bendy reading light attached to it which was really neat. The Balcony was unbelievable. We had two plastic lounge chairs with cushions on them (which hold a lot of water so put a towel down). There were also 2 high back chairs and 2 small tables. The view, as with any aft cabin, was to die for. It was really nice when leaving St. Thomas because you got to see all of the other islands that we passed. The only real downside to this cabin was that there was a lot of vibration and noise. This was apparent during the bad weather that we had the last two nights. Nevertheless, the room was really nice.
