This was my third cruise, and my husband's fourth. I can honestly say that every cruise has been better than the last. I really didn't think anything could top our honeymoon cruise on the Carnival Conquest last year, but our trip on the Miracle did. All week I was marveling over things I could include in my review, so I'm going to get pretty in depth. I hope this will help others considering the Miracle as other cruisers' reviews have helped me.

EMBARKATION Our cruise on the Miracle was an 8-day Eastern Caribbean, leaving out of New York City and stopping at San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola. The Miracle, which previously left out of Florida, just recently began this itinerary. This was our second Carnival cruise, and we'd planned to try a new line every year, but wanted to save some money this time and got a great deal as returning Carnival cruisers. We chose NYC as the embarkation port because I hate flying and was sick of feeling stressed out both before and during the vacation due to the flights. So we drove to NYC from Michigan, which was about a 12-hour drive. It was boring but, in my opinion, well worth it.

Despite the horror stories we'd heard about driving in NYC, we found it to be surprisingly easy. In fact, the area we passed through was less obnoxious than rush hour traffic in suburban Detroit. This may have been because we came in on a Saturday morning and only had to skirt around a small part of the city. Don't rely solely on Mapquest, because it occasionally generates directions that defy all common sense and logic. Just follow the signs to the ship terminal - the ships are hard to miss!
