Sail Date: Nov 2008

Our 8 day Carnival Miracle cruise departed Fort Lauderdale on November 5, 2008. This was my 7th Carnival cruise and 12th cruise overall. My sister, our best friend, and I paid for a triple occupancy inside cabin guarantee and were graciously upgraded to a category 5A obstructed view outside cabin!

Embarkation was infinitely quicker and smoother than last year on the Victory out of Miami. I much prefer Port Everglades to the Port Of Miami. Our taxi dropped us off at the port around 12:20pm and we were on the ship in under an hour. We were told that our cabins would be ready at 2pm (instead of the usual 1:30pm).

One of the reasons we booked this cruise is because the Miracle is the sister ship to the Legend, on which we sailed 2 years ago, and whose layout we really liked. We especially loved the Lido deck, with its 2 large and separate pools—very Princessesque. A 600 member bingo group had also booked this sailing, so a good portion of the passengers were older and playing bingo much of the day, therefore not saving lounge chairs on the Lido. Finding 3 loungers together had never been easier! Our cabin steward was Nicholas from Dominican Republic and his assistant was Santika. I'm not sure my memory is serving me correctly, but I think he was from Indonesia. They did a fabulous job on our cabin every day, and since I've been to the Dominican Republic many times, I was able to chat with Nicholas about his homeland.

Cabin Review

I enjoyed our obstructed view outside cabin. We usually book an inside cabin, so it was nice to be able to see what the weather was doing outside. Never were we disturbed by noise from other cabins. Closet space was ample, however more hangers as well as additional hooks on the wall for hanging garments would be helpful.
