the mistral wind Posted March 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Is there anything exclusive about the carnival miracle ship? I will be sailing sept 2019 and am curious about this ship. i am reading that they did a 2.o maintenance upgrade ship but ship does not have guys burgers. i thought this was included in upgrade of ship. I am wondering what they did when they refurbished her. And what i expect from this cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deedle7544 Posted March 8, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2019 We were on in Nov 2018, and it was great - Loved the serenity area, it never felt too crowded, has pool and hottub, and full bar. The waterslide is dated, but still fast and fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalgeek Posted March 8, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Thoroughly enjoyed out Miracle cruise last April. Ship was easy to get around and I liked the food. Ours was an 8-day with only three ports so lots of nice sea-day brunches in the MDR. We did our first ever Chef's Table and the steak house on Miracle was the coolest one I've seen yet (still haven't been on any of the really new ships yet). We had a balcony near the back and it was a great location to get straight down to MDR or straight up for some late night pizza. Quiet room, and the AC worked great (I like to sleep as cool as I can). Service was great from everyone we encountered and I wouldn't hesitate to cruise on her again but I think she'll be heading west before I get another chance. Maybe some day we'll get to go to Alaska on her. I thought I would miss Guy's but the burgers at the grill were great and I ate way more fried flour tortillas with cheese sauce than I should have. If this post seems a little heavily food-oriented, well, yeah. lol. But we had some good drinks too!

Doggielover68 Posted March 8, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) We sailed on Miracle last April and are booked again this April. I really liked the ship itself. It is still a good size but never feels too crowded, with the exception of the Lido buffet at lunch on Sea Days as usual. Getting on and off the ship was super fast in the ports. Food was fine. I did miss the Dive In movies. They played movies one night in the comedy club (3 movies in a row) but they interfered with dinner times so we only watched one.

the mistral wind Posted March 8, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted March 8, 2019 It sounds promising we like our vacations no matter what. we always seem to have a fun time. like to watch movies hope they will have them playing often. i don't care if they have alot of food venues as long as what they have is good.

They are in a drawer by the big mirror in the room and the cord isn't very long and a lot of folks seem to think they are under-powered but they get the job done even if it takes a little longer. At least, they do well enough that I'll be content with it rather than pack another blow dryer. One less thing for me to forget lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louanne93 Posted April 18, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The best part about the Miracle is the "feel". The staff makes you feel like family! Also, not feeling crowded is a great perk. I have been on her twice and plan on two more times when she comes back to the west coast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckimion Posted April 18, 2019 #15 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Several sites are reporting that Miracle goes in for drydock in early 2020 (sorry 2019 cruisers) and if the recent work on the Pride is any indication, goodbye French doors, hello Guys and Blue Iguana.

jocko4279 Posted April 18, 2019 #16 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Loved the decor on the Miracle. I thought the artwork of the fictional characters in the hallways of the passenger decks was very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Jen Posted April 18, 2019 #17 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) It has actual pub for the Red Frog Pub with traditional bar games and really good pub type bands in the evenings. The comedy club is very comfortable (get there a bit early) and decorated like Alice in Wonderland. Also Serenity has a pool and very good bar service. As others have said, not feeling lost is a huge bonus! On our cruise they played movies in the afternoons in the main theater. There was never anyone there and it was pretty cool to have the place almost to ourselves. There was literally one other couple the day we went. Of course, they were playing Pitch Perfect 3 and, at 50, I think I was about the 5th youngest person on the cruise. So that might have had something to do with it! Almost forgot, make steakhouse reservations. It is really good and a nice experience. I actually wished I had made like 3 reservations for it!

Nevada Jen Posted April 18, 2019 #20 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Also, even if you are not a "clubbing" type person, make sure you check out the night club. It is really cool with a giant Frankenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved the Miracle, and DH sometimes retreated to Gatsby's garden to sit and read while I was enjoying the hot sunshine on the deck. Chloe was our CD on our last cruise, and she was so fun and pretty that we named our ragdoll kitten after het. LOL We are not fond of Guy's burgers so we didn't miss it at all. There are lots of other delicious foods to choose from on the Lido deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobster1313 Posted August 1, 2019 #25 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I was on the Miracle 2 weeks ago and loved the ship. I was in a balconey, it had the old lamps and only 1 plug at the desk.
