Miracle Review 5/9/08-5/17/08 Ok all, as usual this will be a long review so I'm posting it in multiple parts. This review will be slightly different from others I've done since we opted for a more laid back, relaxing, less scheduled days on this cruise.

Embarkation We flew to NY on a direct flight with no problems and had a car and driver waiting for us on the ground so we were able to go straight from the airport to the pier. We got there about 10:30, they were right there to take our luggage.

I heard some complaints about embarkation from people who hadn't gone out of NY before BUT I'll tell you it was a big improvement on last year. The VIP section is still up front and not really what people expect but the people running things had a better grasp of where they should send people and preventing people from jumping lines, etc. The ship was late getting those before us off the ship so people were straggling out for quite some time. It was as organized as any of these things tend to be. They had added more chairs, more employees from NY and more computers to get people checked in. They had also worked out their issue with having you fill out the same documents at the pier that you had already completed with your funpass so that sped things up considerably. We had 3 huge wedding parties plus a couple of large groups including a "touring" TA group that was only there to tour the ship before getting off so even if you were VIP you had to wait for them all to get on.
