Sail Date: Dec 2007

Our group of four adults arrived in Fort Lauderdale the day before our December 9th cruise on the Miracle. This was the seventh cruise for my husband and me, our third on Carnival. Our USAirways flight actually arrived early. We stayed at a Comfort Suites that provided transportation from the airport and to the ship. Just about everyone at the hotel was cruising the next day so you had to sign up for a shuttle. We were fortunate to get a shuttle that left the hotel at 12:00. Embarkation was a breeze and we were on the Lido deck eating lunch in no time at all.

The ship was clean and the decor wasn't too bad--except for the diningroom. The grape theme was taken to extremes. There were some Christmas decorations but they didn't get carried away. Our cabin steward did a nice job throughout the cruise and was very friendly.

Our first day at sea was rather rough. It was difficult to sit on deck because it was windy and the water was sloshing out of the pools. That was nothing though as we woke up the second day amidst a tropical storm. With 20 foot waves and howling winds no one was allowed on the decks. We chose to spend the day in the atrium where you could hardly feel the rocking of the ship. The captain and cruise director did come on occasionally with updates and reassurances. By evening, the seas had calmed and we had great weather for the rest of the trip. I'm proud to say no one in our group got sick and we were able to make all of the meals.
