We chose this cruise because of price and timing for us as well as we had never sailed on Miracle. It turned out to be a great time for the wife and I. We have over 20 sailings under our belt and love cruising. We have done some other cruise lines, but always come back to Carnival. They offer the same things at a lower price. Why pay more?
The Miracle is getting a little old now and probably needs to be revamped, but it still was a wonderful ship to explore. Lots of room, never did we feel crowded or had to stand in long lines for anything. Granted, there were not many children on board, and it was a little older crowd than usual. But we really loved the lay out of the ship and the ease in which to get around.
Music and entertainment was top notch. Comedians were a hit and miss deal. Some did not know how to talk with kids in the audience. Cruise director was pleasant but not outgoing as some we have seen. Did enjoy time we had with him for questions and answer segment he did.
