  1. I have to agree with the OP. We were on the Miracle in November. The food was a huge let down. The lido was just bad. All the beef was tough as leather. The MDR was hit and miss. The biggest letdown was The steakhouse. The meat was tender but lacked flavor. The sides were no better than The MDR. The service was average. Even the dessert was ho hum. The only food that was standout was The pizza, it was terrific.

  2. He sure does, with a ilttle planning. lol His vent is the size of a laptop.and his feeding pump fits in a back pack. I put all his supplies that I know I will need for the week and then some in a gallon tub. He is mostly on the vent at night. We travel almost everywhere with him. We even bring his nurse along. :) The only thing we don't do is fly. My son is a little guy, if you seen him you wuold think he was 12.

     

    God bless you.

  3. Price is not the sole determining factor for us any longer. For us Carnival is no longer a good fit. Sure you get a cheap price, but you get what you pay for. We prefer Princess. You pay a bit more, but get a lot more. The ship's are classy, not garish. The food is much better. The buffet is open non stop from early morning to late at night. The entertainment is superior. While I have never had a bad carnival cruise, princess is just better. It is a more upscale experience.

  4. Just returned from a ;not so great cruise on the Crown. I did a review of the trip, but I thought it would be helpful to tackle each "beef" with a separate thread. I have recently been on two Crown cruises, a ten day in late Sept/early Oct. and a seven day which returned on Dec 12. I was in c101 and c235 respectively, both outside balcony cabins.

     

    The beds were awful particularly on this last cruise. The mattress which is about seven inches thick sagged - with a capital S. I decided to see what was the cause of the sag and put my tablet under the bed to take a picture of the platform supporting the thin mattress. The support consists of a plastic coated wire crisis-crossed (attached) to a steel frame. This set-up should be described as a non-folding cot. It is very similar to the folding cots sold to accommodate spill-over guests at home. The set-up would not accommodate a board to make the bed more firm but thankfully this was only a seven day ordeal!

     

    I don't think that I ever experienced such bad beds on other Princess cruises. I have cruised ten times eight of which were on other ships. My advise is to quiz the line or your TA to assure that your cabin has a real bed. I attached a pic of the contraption but don't know if it took.

     

    Most unique vacation photo I have ever seen. Lol

  5. I can drive to Vegas in about 6 hours and it's maybe 11 to Long Beach. If I have the willpower not to stop for too long in Las Vegas.

     

    I want to go to Mexico during the summer for a week from a port I can drive to, so the Miracle is our only choice.

     

    And my wife and I are on a weird diet so I figured that the buffet would be our best bet.

     

    Are we talking Venetian here? Fiesta Henderson?
