dmndlil Posted March 18, 2018 #51 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I recently sailed on the Miracle. One great thing about taking a tender from the Miracle was the fact that the elevators went directly to the tender deck which was "A". I have been on many ships where you have to walk down a flight of stairs - that is a pain! There was a straight "walk" gangway to the tender but once on the tender there were 2 steps down. Be very careful when returning to the ship. The gangway rises and falls with the waves. The gangway raised up as I was boarding the ship and I hit my head (luckily I had a hat on) and jammed my neck. I'm only 5' 1" tall. I did seek medical attention on the ship. The staff was very attentive. Thank you for the information with regard to the tender, and so sorry you hit your head. I will keep that in mind when we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephyrhillscruisers Posted March 18, 2018 #52 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I was in cabin 7299. I used my sign and sail card to access the safe. It was a swipe system in that cabin. We will be just down the hall later this year. Was there much engine vibration in your room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunonfire Posted March 19, 2018 #53 Share Posted March 19, 2018 We did not have any vibration in our room. My son's family was in 7261 and they did not have any vibration. We booked the same cabin for this November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundrock Posted March 19, 2018 #54 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I did self-assist. It was good. On deck 7 we were announced just after the predicted 8:30am. Adam the cruise director said they had a lot of trouble with people from other decks trying to leave at the wrong time. Debarkation went smoothly. No large lines. Just checked my uber account and I was in a car by 9:24am. Think it took about 20 minutes for the uber to come so it was probably about 30 minutes from the time we were announced until we were out of the terminal. Do you remember when deck 4 was called? Do they start low and then go higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundrock Posted March 19, 2018 #55 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Since you were aft, did you notice this "vibration" I keep reading about. I've only been on one cruise ship before, and so I don't know if this is just people overreacting or if it truly is as bad as people are saying (causing doors to rattle, things falling off tables) Jo I read the Miracle uses the pod propulsion rather than screws. Normally screws can cause the vibration. Pods are smoother. I remember sailing on the old Celebrity Mercury and Galaxy -- they really shook! But we got used to it!
