miracle vs valor

Recommended Posts

We are trying to decide between the Miracle and the Valor for a Dec. 26 sailing (over new years). We are travelling with our 18 year old daughter and 13 year old son. Any thoughts? We generally like to do soft adventure/eco-type shore excursions as opposed to shopping. Any help appreciated.

We chose the Valor because of the itinerary...We are going with the entire extended family (8 kids 4 months-19 years) and my kids like to dive and do similiarly active, interesting stuff. We decided that Belize, Honduras and Grand Cayman would provide a more interesting trip in terms of dive sites and "eco-stuff". Cozumel had great diving and snorkeling too...

We chose the Miaracle over the Valor for several reasons:

1.Miami/FLL more $ to fly into from my local airport then Tampa

2.Many people recommend the Spirit over Conquest class.

3. Great price I got for President's day week for the Miracle.

 

I have to say though that if the Valor had done eastern that I would have booked it no matter what.

 

No longer cruiseless...donations still accepted! ;-)

Thank you all. We have booked the Valor. Great itinerary. We, too, like the slightly one-off adventuring. Honduras appealed more than Costa Maya (we've vacationed twice in Playacar/Akumel--glorious, but time to try something different.) The Valor will be interesting to do with our 13 and 18 year old kids. Booked an ocean view quad at a nice price. We are going on the 12/26 sailing over new years. Does Carnival do up New Years special?
