Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Balcony Cruise from NYC by A Traveler from Poconos, Pennsylvania Sailing date: Jun 2012 Pros: The ports of call were the highlight of the trip. Cons: Breakfast/ brunch in the dining room was a terrible experience. The ship was showing it's age. This was our second time on this particular ship. The shows were the same as three years ago; it was disappointing that they were not changed in three years (even the costumes were the same). Breakfast and Lunch is no longer an option in the dining room; it is now called breakfast/ brunch. The seating arrangements are not clear and the staff, particularly Olga, was very short tempered and actually refused to bring menus when people did not see the small sign to wait to be seated and no one was present at the desk upon entering. Many people got up and walked out of the brunch. Our dinner service was excellent however and lunch on the upper deck was great. There was a storm on the last sea day. We would have appreciated a warning that the weather was going to be bad and the ship's movement was going to increase; that way we could have taken medication to head off sea sickness, especially in the children. There was no way to access the forecast. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Menu choices have decreased.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview A great time! by Melissa C. from Matawan, NJ Sailing date: May 2012 Pros: Service was excellent our room was cleaned 2 or 3 times per day. Every person on the ship was personsble and helpful! Cons: Food was better on royal caribbean but overall we had a great time! I liked the ship. Each room was themed ex: mad hatters lounge-alice in wonderland theme.frankensteins lab the club was a lot of fun and the dj was excellent! The dining room kind of reminded me of a diner or something because it wasnt nearly as fancy as Royal Caribbean or Princess, but I didnt really care about the decor..service was excellent both in dining room & our room. Ship Details: Ship Quality Ship was kept very clean! Dining/Food although there was a variety of food on the ship, I was not impressed. We had anytime dining so I think our food was reheated. I would recommend the 815 dining because I think they make the food fresh. I will say if you want a hot bite to eat go up to deck 9 & they had pizza, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs & french fries. Stateroom Quality We had an oceanview room which was bigger than I had expected. We were fortunate to be on deck 1 rivieria, so we didnt experience "sea sickness". We got to see the atlantic ocean as well as great views from our room! Ship Staff Quality One night we had slept through dinner completely so we got deli food on deck #9. It was delicious! I was saying to my bf how I wanted a cookie for dessert but there werent any left. A worker overheard me and brought me a plate of several cookies, which was very nice. The staff is very accommodating of your personal needs. Entertainment & Activities There were some fun activities like the hairy chest contest, the deck party, the comedians were great but at times we felt bored. We also had some bad weather so maybe that put a damper on things. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Balcony An average cruise for the money we spent by Kathy M from Jensen Beach, FL Sailing date: Mar 2012 Pros: The food was good 4 out of 8 days Cons: Not the best service. Rooms need to be updated. Not very happy with this Carnival "Miracle" ship. It was an ok average cruise. We thought with an 8 day cruise we would get a balcony room with the 3 of us in 1 room (myself, husband & 9 yr. old son). Then get another next door balcony room for my parents. To say it was tight is putting it mildly. The picture they have online REALLY needs to be updated (even the size specs). Not correct. The service was poor. Room always lacked something from towels to you name it. The food was good on certain days and just average to cold on others. Nothing outstanding except the Stekhouse dinner we paid extra for.This was my parents first Carnival experience. As my dad put it "if you never cruised before, I guess you would think this is how it is supposed to be, you would not know better". Well we have definitely been on better. Not impressed. Ship Details: Ship Quality Ship ok. Casino was small. Everything was easy to find. Dining/Food Very average food. Room service was not good. Coffee or tea was always cold in the morning for delivery. Stateroom Quality Not happy with our room! Room was sooo tight. Bathroom was not very clean on check in. When you have to touch things up at the get go- I guess that was a bad sign right here! Ship Staff Quality People were friendly Entertainment & Activities OK entertainment. Last 2 nights were the best. Children's Programs They got it right here! My son had fun when he attended! Great job! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Least Favorite Ship We Have Sailed On by James B from Cuba, MO Sailing date: Feb 2012 Pros: Staff were great, as always Cons: Long list. Rarely ate on Lido due to crowding. Often no open deck lounges. Food was good but not as good as in past. We seen few people that liked the decor of dining room. Way over the top. Dining room looked like a bad LSD trip. Way too gaudy. Lido was over crowded each time we tried to eat there. No vacant seating. Gave up trying to eat on Lido Deck. Dining room was not over crowded and we were all able to be seated (open seating) quickly. Staffing was outstanding as always. Ship was clean and well maintained. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Of all cruises taken on various lines, the entertainment on this cruise was the worst. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Cons: 4 days at sea is wayyyy tooo loonggg This ship is okay. The crew was fabulous. 4 days at sea is way too long and very boring. Ship Details: Ship Quality Seemed a little poorly maintained. Dining/Food If you lijke buffet, this is your place. Stateroom Quality Don't go with out a balcony room..still small Ship Staff Quality everyone was very nice Entertainment & Activities the comedy club was top notch! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Balcony a nice cruise by Karen V. from north jersey Sailing date: Aug 2011 Pros: the steackhouse was excellent and malcolm the cruise director was wonderful Cons: the decor and the slippery flooring by the pools was on a carnival cruise (the miracle) for the first time....the decor in the dining room was a little gaudy in my opinion - well actually the whole ship's decor was a bit much for me...it needs to be toned down and made less ostentatious... the staff ,though, was very nice and helpful...our rooms were larger than expected and kept spotless by housekeeping...people in the dining room were welcoming as well...dining service varied, as we had free sitting....one night we were rushed, then on another, the meal lasted 2 1/2 hours...food wasnt bad...but, frankie and johnnies - the steakhouse an additonal $30 PER PERSON -was the best meal that i had for the entire voyage...def worth the $$ also, i admired the fact that our captain was intelligent enough to avoid tropical storm Emily and kept us apprised of changes made in our itinerary...we ended up going to San Juan PR and St Thomas...which we all enjoyed...wish we had more time at the ports though, but understand that it wasnt a planned stop... the worst thing on the ship was the flooring by the pools...veryyy slippery!...i slipped and fell myself - as well as saw others do the same...the staff did attempt to keep it mopped,but it is the wrong kind of flooring... entertainment was ok...casino was nice... loved their special brew of Thirsty Frog beer....only available on ship.... all in all, it was a nice time... Ship Details: Ship Quality very clean...layout was a bit confusing in the beginning... Dining/Food the steakhouse food was the best!...nice options offered in the buffets... Stateroom Quality bigger than other cruise lines' that i have been on...very clean... Ship Staff Quality helpful Entertainment & Activities need to offer more activities for days at sea....
