Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Carnival Miracle Cruise Reviews

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 ...

We have been on 30 cruises so this wasn't our "first rodeo". We are senior citizens that love to dance (any kind of dancing, but especially ballroom). We selected this cruise because of the itinerary and to be with our 3 grown children who flew in to join us. First I will cite the Pros: The food was better than what I expected. Our cabin steward was excellent. Very unobtrusive, but ...

Boarding the ship VIP went very smooth, we were on boat within 30 min. VIP lounge offered cookies and fruit punch. Some people were sneaking in VIP line and staff was allowing them to proceed. The regular line to board boat was very long. Dinner was average. Bar service was terrible, some nights we did not get served drinks. Service was average. Food was below average. My family made many trips to ...

This is the first time cruising on Carnival and the Carnival Miracle. Worst cruise I have taken yet. We had a first time cruiser with us and if it were not for talking to other passengers on board this would have been her last one too. The goods things were Tony Ray. life saver in the Gotham lounge. Thanks Tony for making a bad time tolerable. Other than that the food had no variety in the ...

Don't expect too much, it is your very basic Carnival no frills experience albeit on one of their larger ships. I will point out some things to expect. Anyone that has been on one of the Carnival ships that have carved out a new adult only area, like the Carnival Glory I was on last month, will be very sadly disappointed with the Miracle. Don't expected shaded comfortable areas. You will find ...

This was my second cruise with Carnival, and because they've maintained their reputations as the "fun ships" I stuck with them this time around. I was attracted to this cruise because of the extra night, and the "out there" feel of Panama, Costa Rica, and Belize. Looking around the embarkation area, I realized that I picked the wrong port for a single guy going on a cruise. 2/3 of the people ...

This was our first cruise, and we chose Carnival Miracle with 8 other friends, all of us middle-aged, convivial, and outgoing. Embarkation was efficient and friendly. I was impressed with the systems. I didn't know what to expect from the ship's decor, but I must have been expecting something . . . tasteful. This ship is garish beyond belief, with zany, clashing, over-the-top decor. In a few ...

My husband and I cruised on the Carnival Miracle, departing Fort Lauderdale on November 20th. This was our third Carnival Cruise but we are thinking that we will do something different next time. Not saying that we won't ever return to Carnival, just that we were expecting better based on our previous Carnival Cruises on the the Conquest and Liberty ships. No cruise is all good or all bad. It it ...

After only cruising with Princess, we decided we couldn't pass up the great itinerary that the Carnival Miracle was doing. We apparently should have. The embarkation was easy - we arrived early (around 10:30 am) as we could see the ship in port from our hotel room. We flew in the day before to avoid the rush from the airport to the ship. This was the best thing we've ever done! Our room ...

Departure was smooth and easy. But, the ship was just out of dry dock. Three couples were on the cruise. On board and waiting on one couple, we went to grab a bite to eat. I ask about getting a beer and was told the bar was that way. Do what? On the FOS I would have been asked "What kind of beer would you like, Sir?" And thus, the adventure started. The muster was called, and instead of ...
