Carnival Miracle Cruise Reviews for Family to Alaska

Wanted to see Alaska again without traveling to Seattle or further--mistake San Francisco port is not worth it, never again. The line to drop luggage was an hour long, only 2 porters for 5000 people! Oh and no restrooms until heading to ship! Then another line to get to go inside terminal, we went to platinum and up line and it took twice as long as regular line, there were not enough carnival ...

This was our second cruise, first was a Princess cruise. We thought, wow Alaska, this will be great. It was our 30th anniversary too. What a disappointment . First let me say this, staff was awesome, always attentive and polite so I would give them an A+. Now as for the food, we looked forward to getting OFF the ship to eat, despite the high prices in the local places the food was awesome. This ...

we are Platinum with Carnival, having 30+ cruises under our belts. If this were our first cruise, we would never go on another. The cabin steward could not retain, despite being told multiple times, that we had early dinner. He wanted to make up our room at 8pm, when we were in bed. The dining room service was very poor. It took over an hour to be served our cold meals. The bar service guy could ...

Okay. So I get it. It's a cruise. Carnival operates on slim margins so it needs to constantly barade you with requests to purchase drinks or photos. The whole trip felt like a prolonged time-share presentation. [Cons] - Terrible [Non-existent] entertainment. Bingo? D-List comedians? Karaoke singers? Ugh. - Waaayyyy overpriced drinks. - A single bandaid for a cut is $3.50. INSANE. - The casino ...

We booked our cruise well in advance to get a good balcony room. After we had the cruise almost paid for and the airline paid for they decided to drop the best port from the cruise, Ketchikan. We either had to loose our vacation or just take the change. They gave us $50 credit, but that did not make up for it. We have cruised with Carnival on 4 other destinations. The first one was the best. They ...

I have always dreamed of going to Alaska. It was suppose to be my dream cruise. I'm sorry I spent my once in a lifetime chance on visiting Alaska with Carnival. Although the ship was clean and the staff excellent, that is where the positive ends. I did not know till after the cruise began that they had canceled stopping in Ketchikan. We spent more time at sea than on land. The three stops we made ...

I am limited walking and partial vision person. I got great help with embarkation and disembarkation. I had been to Alaska 3 times already so I knew what to expect in Alaska. I had a balcony and enjoyed the view at time but at times the fog would show up and none of us could see the beauty of the outdoor mountains and trees. I had a good time on the ship meeting lots of fun people. It rained in ...

This wasn't our first cruise to Alaska and we have also been on several cruises to the Caribbean so we are not reviewing this cruise out of context. Getting on the Carnival Miracle went off without a hitch and our bags were delivered to our cabin in a timely fashion. While placing my face cleaning machine in the shower I found a big, black gob of hair on the shower wall. After the steward cleaned ...

My first clue that this trip was not going to be as good as I hoped was when I was told that there was an issue with the ship and that we would not be able to make a certain cruising speed, so they had to cut out one port that we were going to visit. They offered a full refund, but if I changed my airfare, it was going to cost me $. So I continued on and was hoping for the best. I guess that is ...

The scenery and experience of Alaska and the Alaskan waters were awesome! The ship, not so much. Never in my life did I think I would find a more outdated ship that is so young. The decor was nothing short of terrible. In two previous cruises the minute we walked on the ship there was a shock and awe factor, this one you just went well I hope the rest of the ship doesn't look like this. We booked ...
