Carnival Miracle September 24-October 2
Background: My wife and I have cruised 4 times previously, 3 with Carnival. For the first time, our daughters, 5 and 3, joined us.
Embarkation: Left home in Brooklyn at 10:30, and arrived at the pier at about 11. We were hustled to the second batch of people waiting, the first getting the seats. By 1 we were on the Miracle, by 2 in the stateroom.
