We just got off the Miracle this morning. First, for the one thinking it was a security issue NEXT week...thanks for thinking of us in Belize & Honduras this past week! This cancellation came out before we set sail on the 20th. I'm sure if it was a security issue, it would have come up before we stopped in those ports. By the way, perfectly fine in both locations. But, as for possible maintenance, my first guess would be what appeared to be some kind of A/C (?) leaks; mainly on the Lido, near the mid-ship elevators. There was an area probably 10x10 or so blocked off all week with caution signs. Also, a couple of the ice machines in the Lido buffet area were not working. It could be some kind of water line issue. As for any shimmy or shake, I really didn't feel anything major...well, outside of cruising through the middle of a TS yesterday! That and doing 20+ knots between Cozumel and Belize to get through the very windy beginning of Alberto. Otherwise, it was nothing readily apparent. The person speculating the underwater work needed could very well be correct.
Having said all of that, I completely understand if someone cancelled because it took out part of their vacation time. I get it, believe me. Vacation time (and money spent) is important to everyone. Make whatever decision you need to make, its your money and time. But as for this past week, the ship and the staff were great and it was a great week...even with an uninvited guest taking away my last two days of sun
