Embarkation Wonderful. We arrived at the terminal a little later than expected, but still early. The scheduled boarding time was 1:00 pm, but they let us board an hour earlier! When we entered the ship(I say we because I was traveling with a group)I was truly astonished. The atrium was so big and nice. I could just imagine myself resting on the soft couches drinking a soda, looking at the ocean. Stateroom I was in an interior stateroom with my younger brother and cousin. Even though it was small, the room was nice. it wasn't beautiful, but it was satisfying. we weren't in the room that much anyway, so it hardly mattered. Food The food was very good. i have been on 5 Carnival Carnival cruises, and this was the one with the best food. The dining room was elegant and fun. Our waiter Chris was the best person ever. Immediately after our last dinner aboard the ship we asked what ship he would be on next. The lido deck was beautiful, and i believe that it was better laid out than the Conquest class ships. The buffets had NO lines whatsoever. Absolutely none. Entertainment I was a kid at the time of the cruise(11 to be exact)and me,my cousin and my little brothers main source of entertainment was the arcade. Before i was on the Miracle, i had been on the Valor, and i was a little disappointed by the Miracles arcade. There were not many games, it was hard to find and it was placed at the very front of the ship. If you were to look at a picture of the Miracle, you would see round windows, then the bow of the ship. Those windows are in the arcade. You could feel the ship going up and down, resulting in the arcade being a less popular place among kids. This had to be the worst part of the cruise. I was 11, so i had to go to Camp Carnival. It was boring and i did not like it, so my parents said i did not have to go. there were many lounges and public rooms, so you are set for whatever you may like, but personally i loved the atrium. it was linked to most of the public rooms, and it had perfect views of the ocean. Debarkation a very sad process because i did not want to leave that ship. it was very quick though. I hated this part, of course because i didn't want to leave. Service The staff was very kind and friendly.
