Just got back from a week on the Carnival Miracle sailing from Long Beach California to Puerto Vallarta for two days and Cabo San Lucas for one night. This is my 7th cruise, second on the Carnival Miracle. This was one of the best times I’ve had and it was an amazing cruise.
Parking at Long Beach cruise terminal — not good! The cost is high $19 a night and the only places we could find were on the roof. However, the space was close to the elevators and we had a great view of the ocean — to get ready for our cruise.
Embarkation - We opted for Faster to the Fun for $60 per cabin. Well worth it. We were on the ship in about 15 minutes tops. Leaving the ship was just as easy. This made this cruise extremely stress free.
We splurged for a balcony cabin, 6136, which was quiet, had amazing views, and our cabin steward, Dewa was really great. He was friendly, efficient, and did everything to make our stay really wonderful. Dewa was always there with a smile and provided us with ice daily, and our cabin was spotless.
