campdaan Posted January 29, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Besides the wealth of information you will find in this forum. I can suggest www.cruiseclues.com Look on the left coloumn and click on Carnival Miracle, or any ship for that matter. Did you try a search of this Forum ??? Have a nice Cruise.

dbrucern Posted January 29, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2007 We sailed on the Miracle out of Tampa and had a great time at the Western Carribean ports. The ship was smaller then the Glory that we had sailed on earlier and we could definently tell. The only thing that drove the guys in our group nuts was the "grapes" in the dining room, I have to agree it was a bit much but we had a fantastic time and did not have any problems finding our way around the ship. Embarktion in Tampa was probably one of the best we have had, very fast and chairs to sit in while waiting which was actually probably only 15minutes. You will enjoy her so go and have a good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbor Posted January 29, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The Miracle is great. It is easy to find your away around the ship. We enjoyed everything - nothing bad to say about the cruise at all. The food and shows were good, staff was very friendly, and the ship was very clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 01Sweetpea Posted January 30, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sailed the Miracle in 2005, would sail her again in a heartbeat! Wonderful ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hersheysmother Posted January 30, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2007 My husband and I were on the Miracle in January of 2006. We had a great time, and would do it again in a heartbeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinjerseygirl Posted January 30, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2007 No need to think...just book! You won't regret it! We had the time of our lives on the Miracle and were also told by our PVP that it's one of their best ships so you will be making a good choice...plus just read all the reviews I don't think I have heard one bad thing about it and not a complaint from me!

JerseyGirl97 Posted January 30, 2007 #9 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I LOVED the Miracle!!! It's a beautiful ship! I can't say enough positive things about the trip/ship/staff. I would sail her again in a minute. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhall85917 Posted January 30, 2007 #10 Share Posted January 30, 2007 We've been convinced that the Miracle is wonderful - can't wait to sail on her in June! I've gathered a few pics and a couple of links to add to our group page, you can find them at http://lhall85917.googlepages.com/carnivalmiracle. I know there are others out there with a lot of information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainer208 Posted January 30, 2007 #11 Share Posted January 30, 2007 We too have sailed the Glory and thinking about the Miracle. One poster mentioned it was smaller and you knew the difference. Was it a noticeable difference and was it in a good or bad way? Also, have read that some of the late seating show are prior to dinner. Is that still the case and if anyone can remember, what specific nights do they have that schedule? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotshub Posted January 30, 2007 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Keep in mind I think the Miracle is scheduled to switch home ports sometime this year and wont be sailing from Tampa much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO FOR THE MIRACLE you won't be sorry.......I've only done the Triumph and Miracle and the Miracle is smaller (tonage), but it is longer. To me, nothing about it seemed smaller unless you count the lines......to me the Miracle handles the number of people better than the Triumph........I never felt like I was among thousands. They had two shows for the two seatings......if you go to dinner early, you see the show after. I don't believe you miss any shows by going to your assigned dining time (yes, I know I'll be corrected if I'm wrong:D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbor Posted January 30, 2007 #14 Share Posted January 30, 2007 If you have late seating dinner you go to the early show at 7:00, and if you have early seating dinner you go to the later show at 8:45. At least that was the way it was on our cruise in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that still the case and if anyone can remember, what specific nights do they have that schedule? Thanks! We sailed the Glory in April and just did the Miracle last week. While we were happy with both, my whole family liked the layout of the Glory better. On the Glory the slide is apart of the main pool area, and the bars and lounges seem to be more on one deck rather than spread out like it is on the Miracle. For instance, while Mad Hatters is a very neat lounge, it is completely forward and on level 1, sort of out of the way, so it did not attract a big karaoke crowd. The one night that it was in Frankie and Johnnies which is more in the center of activity, the place was packed! I suppose it's just a matter of opinion, and we don't complain on vacation, so the Miracle was great, but they are different class ships and therefore layed out very differently. If you are travelling with children, you may like the Glory better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
