Overall, great cruise. The itinerary was just O.K. but we knew that before hand.
The Miracle is a brand new boat and it is beautiful in an odd sort of way. You can look at pictures online and form your own opinion.

Found our balcony room to be very clean and ready for us. There were nine of us (4 were young men 20-24) and 5 middle aged adults. We had early dinner.
I'll summarize the good things:
