Miracle VS. Glory

[nickervin]

I'm going on a 7-day cruise to caribbean in June, and I could either take the Miracle or the Glory...anyone have any pros/cons or experiences? reviews? Thanks!

Number of things to consider, other than insignificant differences in ships:

 

1) Getting to the port. If you are flying in, compare the prices of airfare to Tampa (Miracle) vs. Glory (Orlando). Note, the respective ports are 20 minutes from the Tampa airport and 45 minutes from Orlando.

 

2) Depending on the week of sailing, Glory offers an Eastern Caribbean route that you cannot get on the Miracle.

 

3) If you are considering a week where it is Glory's Western Caribbean itinerary vs. Miracle's Western Caribbean itinerary, I would give the edge to the Miracle. If you want to see the islands and do some great tours, the Miracle gets you to Cayman, Cozumel, Belize and Costa Maya, where the Glory only does Belize, Cozumel and Key West.

 

4) Price...depending on the week you select, the prices may vary. I know that Miracle has some good pricing in July, as I have been looking at various weeks for some clients.

 

Just some thoughts. If you have any questions, let me know.

It'd be Western Caribbean on whichever ship...I'm not as concerned with the ports or pricing or scenery...just comparing the two ships... I am a 20 year old looking to have fun with friends and meet some ladies :) haha.. I just wanted to compare the two ships themselves and get some opinions..

I hope you are travelling with an older, responsible adult...Carnival doens't let 20 year olds cruise by themselves... :) I have heard that Miracle is a more laid back ship...not as much of a party ship...but I've only heard that...haven't experienced the Miracle yet.
