Just off my 2nd cruise on the Carnival Miracle (my 7th w/ Carnival), and since I wasn't too pleased with my first cruise on the Miracle- having a better time this time- I felt compelled to write another.. Boyfriend and I did this same cruise last year, pretty much same time, for whatever reason the cruise just wasn't all I had expected it to be, when my B/F suggested we go again this year- I wasn't exactly thrilled.
We decided on the Miracle again since we live approx a hour away from the pier, and the cost of airfare to get to another port was outrageous, besides we did kind of like the extra days at sea. In any event we booked the Miracle again, this time we decided to take my 16 year old son, and one of his friends... We had a suite last year so we were spoiled and we were a little concerned about only having a balcony room this time around...
Day of embarkation- we got the the pier around 10 am, and we were brought into a room that we grabbed a seat and waited. We finally boarded around 12:30 and headed up to the Lido deck. The ship was a lot prettier to me this time around, and as always was well maintained!!!!
