We started the day by going to the gym. We had missed the last three days because of the ports. Approximately half of the equipment was being used. Like they say, Spirit class ships are not as busy as other classes of Carnival ships and that seems to apply to the restaurant, buffet, shows and gym.

It really does seem that Spirit class are the best ships in the fleet because of their high space to passenger ratio.

Not sure where I saw it but these ships are way above all the other Carnival ships in this measurement.

 

If you're listening Carnival ,it does make a difference!

Tracy and I returned to our favorite spot for some last rays of warm sunshine. It was cool and windy if you stayed in the open but warm if you were sheltered from the wind. Mitchel joined us for a game of chess. We hadn’t played together for several years.

For anyone who plays chess, this was our endgame, I managed to squeak out a win.

At 4:30 pm we went to our second cocktail party. I believe 24 of us each paid $12 for 1 hour of unlimited drinks. The actual price is 11.45, tip included but we all paid $12 and the balance went to the bartender and waiter. We also passed the hat again and even though I don’t know how much we collected I’m sure it was a nice sum.

Dear Mikey,

I just spent the last 4 hours reading this thread from beginning to end. I enjoyed it very much. I just can not wait to board this ship again on January 17, 2013. This will be my second cruise on the Miracle. Your pictures were great.

We went to the Bacchus Dining Room at 7 pm. We had given some envelopes (extra gratuities) to Montree, Anjaya and Romulo on the previous evening because we had reservations for the steakhouse on our last night. However, we changed our minds when we saw the menu on our interactive television. Prime Rib, Panko Shrimps, New England Cake, Grand Marnier Soufflé, Cappuccino pie and Mitchel loves the Frog Legs.

 

 

 

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms and Handpicked Mesclun Lettuce.

 

 

 

 

 

New England Crab Cake

Mike.. EVERYONE was so generous and we collected a little over a $100 and they earned it..:)
