We took the Carnival Miracle to the Mexican Riviera October 6 ''" 13 (3 days at sea, 2 days in Cabo, 1 day in Puerto Vallarta). This was our second time on a Carnival ship. Here’s my assessment
Embarkation in Long Beach looked like a zoo at first, but wasn't bad at all once the line began moving at 12. Within an hour we were on the ship. Debarkation took forever because we didn't do the Self-Assist. (We did that last year and it was a zoo of epic proportions.)
Now, on to the details:
Lovely cabin overall! Could get a little bit noisy as you are above the ship's wake. More drawers needed in the closet space. Shower was spacious (for a cruise ship)
