Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Carnival Miracle

Cruising the Panama Canal was on my husbands bucket list so this cruise was a birthday gift for him and our 29 year old son. This was my 28th cruise with Carnival and the second time on the Miracle so I'm not new to evaluating what works and what doesn't on these ships. I've sailed pretty much every class as well.
The Ship - So the Miracle is not the newest or my favorite. But it was a ...

Cruised with my 20 YO Granddaughter. Had a great time despite having very few younger people on the ship. First time to Panama Canal. Tampa embarkation is a little more difficult to me having to park across the street but ok. Got right on the ship. Cabin was in good position on the ship but Cabin steward was not the best I ever had. Enjoyed the entertainment. Food was adequate but not ...

Overall the cruise was very good. The dining room service (Komang) and room steward (Andre) were exceptional. Embarkation was hampered by fog and the Carnival representatives at Houston Hobby did a good job of keeping order and organizing the shuttle to Galveston. Processing at the Galveston terminal went smoothly. Although the crew had a short turnaround time, our cabin was ready when we ...

My hubs and I typically cruise with RCI but, because we have exhausted all of the Royal Caribbean itineraries out of Galveston, we chose this cruise to the Bahamas on Carnival. We had only cruised with Carnival once before on a quick 4-night trip so we did not know exactly what to expect.
We had heard that the Freedom was scheduled for dry dock shortly after our return so we expected a ship ...

We choose this cruise because of the itinerary and departing from our home port. Great selection of port of calls with a partial Panama Canal Transit. Cruise went smooth and overall the service on the Miracle was above average. Only issues were minor. Food selection could be better and the Cruise Director was below average compared to other ships. Cruise Director appeared to want to be the center ...

This cruise was so great in many ways, but a few bad things made it rough here and there.
Personnel: I've never really cared one way or another about Cruise Directors, but Ms. Emma Nixon was spectacular. I wish I could have her on every cruise! She was everywhere at once, and I'm not kidding. We would talk to her one minute and then go somewhere else and she would have beat us there, always ...

Drove to Tampa on Friday and Stayed at the Quality Inn Cruiseport.Airport. Reasonable price for stay. Room was ok and breakfast was actually good. Good location as many eating locations are close and shopping around it. Seemed like a secure area. It did provide a shuttle to cruiseport and I think had a park, cruise shuttle at hotel.
Sat drove to port and parked a Cruise4Park. reasonable price ...

Consideration for handicapped passengers is necessary and appropriate, consideration for nonhandicapped passengers is also necessary.
During debarkation and shore excursions utilizing tender boats, handicapped personnel with family members (if they choose to accompany the handicapped person(s)) should be attended to "after" the non-handicapped passengers have deboarded the ship/boat. This ...

A PANAMA CRUISE, A SHIP NAMED SPLENDOR,
The carnival-crew’s smiles are what i will remember!
This nerd engineer signed-up to feel a warm breeze,
And see the wonderous canal from david mccullough’s book: “the path between the seas”.
From reading 20th century history to participating in 21st,
Our splendor was about the 5th cruise ship to traverse the new locks with neopanamax ...
