Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. My son who is 14 was able to hook up the Switch for our Alaska cruise on the Miracle. I don't know how, but he and my husband are pretty tech savy and knew what to bring to do it.
  2. Hello! I have been on 8 carnival cruises. The Magic was a very fun trip which we took in Feb!!! However, cruising with my kids, we are always experiencing cruise "firsts." Unfortunately, this trip it wasn't all pretty. The good: I celebrated my birthday, and ordered the filet which was upcharged in the main dining room (we did not do the steakhouse). It was AMAZING. My boys and husband were drooling over my birthday dinner!!! So yes, if you don't want to do the steakhouse, it was very worth it to pay the money for the steak. I was warned it takes longer as they have to get it from the steakhouse. I think I will do this once each cruise. The bad: I was woken up the night of my birthday to my son (of course he was on the top bunk) getting sick across our room. He tried making it down the ladder but was unsuccessful, and of course all our backpacks/beach bag were being stored under the bunk ladder. I had no idea what to do at first...so my husband took him into the bathroom where he showered and continued being sick. I looked around in awe and disbelieve over what just happened, and noticed he managed to get it almost everywhere. Now I understand why there is a housekeeping number 24/7. The guy that came took the next hour cleaning the room, replacing bedding, and he was AMAZING. I felt so horrible, and tried to help when I could. I did give him a nice cash tip, as that's all I could think of, and wrote his name down on the survey once the cruise was over as being outstanding and helpful. The following day a lady introduced herself as the floor supervisor. They shampooed the carpet, brought in a huge fan to dry it, and washed the bed skirt. Hopefully no one experiences that on their cruise, and hopefully it's a last for us. I did learn never to store things under the ladder again. What a disaster trying to wash that off in the shower!!! FYI, son was feeling fine after a day of rest and we enjoyed the rest of the cruise. Happy to answer any Magic questions, and Deck 5 was my favorite place to hang out and had the BBQ place. Go there early before people find it if you want to try it out.
  3. Just off the Magic last week and we had no ship issues. It was a great cruise!!!
  4. Thank you all with helpful information. We are not rescheduling, as it's our 20th anniversary and many things are bought and paid for. My friend is in the class with me. I will see if the professor can record the class or get notes from her. Which is actually nice as I don't want to be doing school work on a vacation anyway!
  5. Hello! I booked an Alaskan cruise over year ago. Today I just found out there is a college course I will need to be taking, and part of the time I will be on the ship. It will be 2.5 hours over 2 separate days. So I'm wondering if it's possible to zoom, as I believe that is the platform my online course. Is there a cafe on the Miracle, or should I use my cell phone or laptop? Thanks in advance for any advice!!!
