This was my fourth cruise onboard the Carnival Miracle. This cruise was from Manhattan, New York City to Grand Turk Island in Turks and Caicos, Half Moon Cay, Private Island Bahamas, and Nassau, Bahamas. Two days at sea each going to the islands, and another two days at sea returning to Manhattan, New York City which was a good way to relax before going to these islands and returning after exploring these islands before returning end of cruise.
DAY ONE - Manhattan, New York City - September 11
Left home 10:00am with car service to West 55th Street Terminal where we arrived around 10:30am to give luggage to porter then cleared security, then checked in and then to a large room to wait only about 15 minutes before letting us board the ship. Before boarding took the photo then on the ship by 11:30am for that first lunch up in Horatio's Cafe on Lido Deck 9 for some very good food such as beef roast, burgers, fries, chicken and much more than you can imagine for your first lunch onboard the Carnival Miracle. Drinks consisted of iced tea, lemonade, coffee and soda card (if purchased) which is good for unlimited sodas during the entire cruise at any of the establishments that serve sodas. I purchased the card and enjoyed soda now and then.
