Hi everyone. My husband and I will be in Kauai next year in April 2021, we will only be there from 8am to 5pm on a Princess ship. We are very interested in a boat ride of the Napali Coast. I hear it is just breathtaking. We dont really want a snorkeling trip and due to time constraints we cant do a dinner or sunset cruise. We are hopeful to get some recommendations from any of you who have done this before. Hubby is in his 60s and I am in my 40s. Just would like a nice relaxing cruise along the Napali coast. Any tour companies you can recommend for a few hours while we are there?  Thank you in advance❤⚓🛳

We are down to 15 days till we board The Miracle out of Tampa for my Birthday cruise!

What days were what for dining on the miracle out if Tampa? Booking the steak house but want it on a casual night. Thanks

I am not sure which nights are formal but we are booked on The Miracle in Nov. this year and we decided to book the steakhouse the first night of cruise ,because it will for sure be a casual night and also Carnival usual gives you a free bottle of wine with your meal if you book the steakhouse on the first night of the cruise!

Here’s a picture of 4132. We stayed in it during the repo.

 

We are also staying in 4132 in November this year! I love it!!! Thanks for sharing photo of it, not a bad view for interior price!!

We had a wonderful time! I hope to do a review soon.

Thank you for sharing your fun times....I am so glad you had a great time...we will be on The Miracle in November !

:):)

You walk over to the water taxi get on the Water Taxi and ride the water taxi out to Caye Caulker when you're done ride the water taxi back pretty simple really

Hi, I am thinking of doing this in Belize this November. ..do you happen to know the approx water taxi fee to the island and how long does it take to get there on the water taxi? Thanks!

I will be going on the Dream in October. I submitted a steakhouse reservation, how long will it take to get confirmation? Plus anyone have new menus for the steakhouse? Thank you.

I am going on The Miracle out of Tampa in November and I sent a reservation for the steakhouse the first night of the cruise , I received confirmation back in 24 hrs.

I am not sure about new menus.

Thanks for sharing this info , my husband is going to do this excursion but we also thought price was high, he will still book it for himself (im not a mayan ruins person) and we will try and submit a claim for it as well. Its worth a shot! We don't go until Nov.

We are sailing on her in November, can't wait... We also look forward to reading all the reviews from others sailing on her sooner!!:D

Thank you so much for your info ...we would not plan to go until 2019 most likely,but nice to know which are the smaller ships to look for!

Hi All,

For us, we have had great experiences with our table mates on Carnival! During our honeymoon we got seated with another couple on their honeymoon and 2 other couples that were celebrating their anniversaries!! We had such fun talking with them and running into them onboard ship! Our cruise on Valor we got seated with an older couple from FL and a couple of younger brothers from Florida! This was one thing my hubby and I missed when we sailed NCL...we look forward to sitting with tablemates again on Carnival , we just booked a cruise in Nov of this year on The Miracle out of our home port of Tampa!

Hi,

We just booked one of the interior obstructed view with french doors on the Miracle out of Tampa for this year! Our first time too! I called A carnival vacation planner and asked for one that is not directly in front of lifeboat. On you tube there are a lot of room tour videos of them as well! We liked the idea of the sofa and little table in them too,instead of interior you only have the bed and a little stool to sit on in the cabin.

Hi All,

My husband and I have only sailed Carnival and Norwegian,but are thinking about in the future to try Royal. I have a question though, we tend to like the smaller ships but like 7 day cruises out of FT Lauderdale,Port Canaveral and Miami, Florida since we live in Florida, we were wondering what are the smaller ships Royal has out of those ports?

Thank you for your help, I could not see on Royals site where the basic info on the ships are ,like tonage,passenger capacity etc.:)

I was offered it when I called a vacation planner through Carnival when I booked our cruise yesterday! However, our cruise is not till November of this year! 301 days to go!

301 days until our cruise on Carnival Miracle out of Tampa!!! Long wait but worth it , its for my Birthday this year!! Woo Hoo!

Thank you for your excellent review of The Miracle, my hubby and I are thinking of sailing her in November for my birthday this year, your review has helped us to decide...I really like the less crowded smaller type of ship after NCL's Epic last year for us!!!

Mike and Pam

They’ll show movies down in Mad Hatter’s on sea days.

Great, thank you so much!

Hi , I know this may seem like a trivial question,my husband and I are thinking of sailing the Carnival Miracle for my Birthday this year out of Tampa,FL and I know it does not have the extra bells and whistles as some of the larger ships, but we are looking to sail a smaller and less crowded ship. Was curious even though Miracle does not have the Dive In Movies on her decks, can anyone tell me if they show movies some times (does not have to be every night) in another area of the ship. We are not big gamblers or drinkers, and sometimes like to just sit back relax and watch a movie , I know we can do this in our stateroom but was curious if they do show movies anywhere else on the ship?

Thank you so much,

Mike and Pam

Thanks! I’m really excited...my husband and I have never been on a cruise before! I will try to post a review when I get back!

Hi , Have a great cruise on the Miracle in Feb! I think my hubby and I are going to sail her in November this year for my Birthday and look forward to your review and also a glimpse of the fun times on her! We will miss the Dive In Theater (Movies on deck at night ) but I read somewhere that they show movies in one of the lounges.

Have a great trip!

www.sunny.org has a list of hotels offering parking packages plus lots of FLL area tourist info.

 

www.stay123.com and www.parksleepfly.com are to additional sites you might want to check.

 

I would also price out two one-way car rentals compared to the parking fees and the wear and tear on your car.

 

Good luck with your planning! :)

Thank you so much for those sites , I am finding out a lot about the area and different places that have park and cruise pkgs. Will check about the car rental , but chances are hubby wants to take his car...lol! Thanks for the info!

Sorry if this is a duplicate post... In December we stayed at the Hyatt Place. It was very convenient and close to the port, breakfast was wonderful (free) and rooms were nice and clean. I think I paid $168 for the room and 9 days of parking.

Thank you so much for the info...will check this out.

My husband and I are planning to go on a cruise on a Carnival ship out of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale probably November this year (2018) and we will be driving down the night before the cruise and wanted to know if anyone has a decent hotel or resort they could recommend with a parking package and a shuttle to the port? We hope to be able to park our car there and be shuttled to port for our 8 day cruise , any suggestions are much appreciated, thank you so much.

I was not sure where to put this, hope this is right place.

I love this review, look forward to more! The naked Lady had my husband and I laughing hysterically!! :D Thank you for all the great photos, when we go in 11 days we are going to have to check out Deck 18 fwd with all the cushioned chairs and a bar!!

Thank you so much for your review, I love all of the tips and the photos are great! My husband and I are going on Epic in just 2 weeks, it will be our first NCL cruise and our first Mega ship cruise ! I am so glad I got our Inside cabin closer to the front elevators and stairs,I noticed the elevator situation right away , but we thought we should try a Mega ship at least once, you don't know if you like it till you try it, right? We are pretty positive and open minded. I do have a little concern about getting to the POrt and traffic etc... Also you are not the first person I have heard from about the not so great service in O'Sheehans pub onboard either. :( , hopefully this gets better , if not I will make the best of it , at least you have a lot of different choices as far as where to go onboard for a meal!

Thank you again for sharing your trip on EPIC with us! I greatly appreciate the insight and tips! Happy new Year to you and your family!

Pamela:)
