chitown cruisers Posted January 18, 2008 #951 Share Posted January 18, 2008 [quote name='hill6']How much are the adult soda cards? Do they only give you a small glass of soda or do they give you a nice size glass? Also do they give you an insulated mug like on Princess? Sorry for so many questions but I wanted to get them all out.[/quote] The insulated mug is extra.......they will put the soda in a glass. Our group had special mugs and some of the bartenders wouldn't fill them "carnival glass only" so I would dump it in my mug and hand the empty back..........others would take my mug, rinse it out and then fill it to the rim. Daily charge.....I think $5.50.....never paid attention I just get it because I gotta have it....I get my $$$ out of it!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen some pictures on Webshots and it got my curiousity up.[/quote] It's a hallway that goes around the perimiter of the showroom. They had to do something with the space. I think you can use it to get to the arcade, Camp Carnival and I think Mad Hatters. There is very low traffic with seats by big round windows, so if you are looking for a quiet indoor getaway...this might be your spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgrgirl20 Posted January 19, 2008 #957 Share Posted January 19, 2008 [quote name='eztraveler'] [SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]I have to mention that we were on the aft deck 4 and had Carlos as a steward who was just wonderful.

malibu87 Posted January 20, 2008 #959 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Just returned yesterday from the Miracle and I can tell you that she is a phenomenal ship. The crew was exceptional. THE ONLY problem I had was with the Spa manager and that was more of a personal problem. I would recommend this ship to anyone. I can't wait to go back.

MHoward909 Posted January 20, 2008 #960 Share Posted January 20, 2008 We are a group traveling on July 4 just like some information we have 2 people in Electric chairs does anyone know will it be hard to get around on the ship, What about getting off the ships at the ports? what about the handicapped rooms? are the easy to get around. any information would be great thank you MHoward909 Mauren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser from MS Posted January 20, 2008 #961 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I also just returned from our 8 day cruise on board the Miracle. I was some what disappointed in this ship as it seemed to be small and crowded and our room stewards did not do anything exceptional as on our two previous cruises. We had to ask for the simple services such as water, ice etc.. We never saw our Cruise Director and he did not go out of his way to keep us informed, you had to totally rely on your Capers. On our past two cruises Todd Wittimer was the Cruise Director, he did a great job to kept us up to date on everything during his morning show on the ship's tv . I do not think I want to cruise on this ship again. I loved the Liberty and Conquest. On our last day at sea we had some sort of a problem as the ship listed quite a bit and almost came to a complete stop. The only explantation we got was that there was a slight malfunction... All of this being said we did enjoy the islands. It also did not cause us to have a horrible cruise and it will not keep me from sailing Carnival again. I just think I perfer the bigger ships.

asader83 Posted January 21, 2008 #962 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank everyone who took time to post their Miracle experiences. We returned from our vacation on January 10, and I've started my review. It's not completely finished yet (I'm taking cues from Chitown and Tally and doing a picture review) but there's a good portion up. Pay it forward! Go Pack Go!

cruising together Posted January 22, 2008 #964 Share Posted January 22, 2008 which one would you choose aft wrap or Cat 12 please help me decide Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asader83 Posted January 22, 2008 #965 Share Posted January 22, 2008 One of my CC friends had a cat 11 wrap around and liked it, however they felt that they just didn't spend enough time in there to justify the price. I went to visit their cabin, and it was quite nice. I can't speak to the cat 12 cabins, but the 11's were quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising together Posted January 22, 2008 #969 Share Posted January 22, 2008 DH doesn't want to go for a cat 11 or 12 he figures he can put money toward another cruise. Does miracle have special rooms no one knows about that are a great deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcellini Posted January 22, 2008 #970 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I too was on the Miracle on the 10th , diffently book a Cat 11 or 12 room there so big inside, we had a aft room on deck six which wasreally nice...... About the lil tilt and stop we had on Thursday after noon I know what happen... What happen was the ship tilt and lil bit because the two main computers that drive the ship shut down, if anyone looked in the ocean Capt Alex was doing S figures in the water, we went from 22 knots down to 6 in the matter of a few seconds too, hope that helps...... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallyRockChick Posted January 22, 2008 #971 Share Posted January 22, 2008 We had room 4151 - Main level and we loved it. It is an obstructed view cabin but the doors open up and you can get the breeze and see the sky and the water as well. We really liked the cabin and not having a balcony didnt bother us at all because we were barely in the room anyways. Not to mention we only paid for an inside cabin so that was a nice upgrade. It was also only one flight up from the upstairs level of the dining room and only 2 levels up from the casino and all the fun stuff. We would book that room again in a heartbeat!
