Additional details
A group of 12 booked this cruise to celebrate Jimmy's 75th birthday. The cruise was picked for it's ports of call and zip lining on two islands. We had great cabins two decks above the aft dining room.
Embarkation was surprisingly fast. We were the only ship in port. The ship was full and not many children. The layout of this Finnish built ship is far superior than the Italian made ones where you have to go up or down a deck to pass from bow to stern. The ship is typically "Carnival Gaudy". The dining room is a site to behold. Everything is over the top as usual.
We tipped the cabin steward within the first hour and he doted on us the entire week. Leny was good. Our waitress, NuNu from Indonesia was wonderful. We had her hugging us every day when we arrived. The hostess, Tristina, went out of her way for us too, caring about special menus for those with allergies. They both got extra cash tips from us too. The CD was Malcolm and he did a fine job. I do however get a little tired of the staff telling you that you're having a great time so give another big cheer. The gym was well equipped.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Carnival Miracle 2/22/12 Cabin 5254. Perfect location 2 decks above the dining room. Quiet except for neighbors letting their cabin doors slam. No vibrations like the upper passenger decks. No bow pounding like the forward cabins. No loud music from lounges. Generous bathroom. Average size cabin. Ours had a couch which was convenient. Adequate closets. Balcony was small. New LCD TV was small and slow to respond.
