What to expect on Carnival Miracle 7 days/Western Caribbean ?

Going on my first 7 days cruise. No kids. Just my husband and I. How many formal nights will we get? What do you guys recommend to do on ports? Visiting Cozumel, Belize, Grand Cayman, and Mahogany Bay. We have been to Cozumel before, but not the other ports. Any good entertainments shows that you would recommend? We opted this time for a balcony (obstructed view). It will be our first balcony room too :)

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

2 Cruise Elegant evenings.

Suggest you post on the individual Port of Call boards under Caribbean for more recommendations on each port.

Miracle is still my favorite after 25 cruises on 17 different ships. I love her size. Serenity (21+) is the entire aft deck and has a pool.

You have to find Gatsby's Garden. It's such a beautiful, peaceful place to read and enjoy some quiet.

Miracle has Tandoor (Indian) located by Serenity.

We've sailed Miracle twice so far and can't wait to sail her again someday.

so great to hear, we are aboard Jan 13 for a 2 week trans canal to Tampa from LA. We were on the Spirit many years ago and we are very excited by the aft Serenity Deck, we have 7 sea days!!!

2 gala nights.

Following!! I have a group going Nov. 2018 with same ports! Have a great trip

On the ship: Steakhouse, Chef's Table

Roatan: book a private tour with Victor Bodden Tours...they're online.

Cayman: we've enjoyed a tour with Captain Marvin's.

Cozumel: we've enjoyed Salsa y Salsa (thru carnival) or Cozumel Bar Hop (independent)

The Miracle was our first cruise and I loved that ship. In Roatan we did Little French Key. It is a private resort- not to be confused with Big French Key or just plain French Key. My husband is not a beach person and he loved it there. Enjoy your cruise!

If you snorkel, Roatan and Belize are the bomb!

Oh and Serenity deck is divine :halo:

No Tandoor on the Miracle :(.

She does have a Chopsticks Asian food line in the buffet.

Cozumel I recommend Plays Bontia for lunch and margaritas. Chi (Chinese food) right across from cruise port is also really good.

thanks for all the recommendations.... I think I will try salsa, salsa .... in Cozumel, since we have been there before and this is the first time I see this tour.

Steakhouse: should I make reservations before embarkation ?

We do, just to make sure.

DH and I are going on the same cruise in June! This is our kid free vacation for the year and celebrating anniversary and birthdays all in one. We booked snorkeling at every port except for Cozumel. We have both been before and decided to just stay on the boat that day.

We did same itinerary Nov 09 on Legend, as I recall. Scheduled for repeat on Miracle early Feb. Can't wait as this is one of my favorite itineraries. Love to snorkel and can do that at every port if we want. At Grand Cayman will snorkel close to where ship docks as have our own gear and only few block walk. In Cozumel scheduled for a AI Island Catamaran trip. Belize is snorkel/Starfish island boat trip. Roatan is Victor Bodden private tour. When we did this cruise before hit bad weather and Cozumel was total wash out with heavy rain all day. Roatan was rain also. So really Belize and Grand Cayman were the only ports we could do anything and snorkeled at both. Then a hurricane developed behind us as left Roatan and followed us most of the way to Tampa. Very high seas. Hope for way better weather this coming trip! I just love the Western Caribbean cruises.

Very excited! I just booked my excursions.

Belize: Cave Tubing

Cozumel: Salsa/Salsa and Margaritas

Roatan: Jungle ATV Adventure

We are doing this itinerary in 3 weeks on the Miracle - it will be our first time to a few of these ports - since we love having a cabana whenever we've been to HMC, we decided to book a cabana at Mahogany Bay - really looking forward to that - the pictures I've seen are amazing.. Can't wait !! 22 more days :D

We’ll be doing this cruise March 31st, can’t make up our mind what to do!

Been on MIracle 3 times but don't recall a tandoor being there. There was tandoor on the aft of the Splendor which I have also been on 3 times.
