My paperwork says that we are to drop luggage off at the ship and then go to the convention center to park. We leave tomorrow so I will know more after that!

Parking was a bit of a nightmare. Pull up to port drop off bags and then drive to convention center to park and take shuttle back. Sounds easy but they did not give us directions. They gave a map but it was of the area with no specific markings. The attendant said to follow the signs. There was one as we left the port. Once we finally got to the parking they did not direct us where to park. "very large lot & parking structure" we parked in the garage and then there were no signs as to where to catch the shuttle. We finally spotted buses on the side of the structure and headed that way. We had to go down 2 flights of stairs. Now remember when you come back you will have your luggage. Not the best set up.

Cruise was good, staff was excellent, food was meh. I liked to food in Lido better than in the dining room.

I don't know why but I was not getting notifications about comments on this thread?

Parking situation?    Some earlier posts stated all Miracle Passengers had to park at the Long Beach Convention Center.     Can anyone confirm if this is still required?   I leave Feb 14th.

Hi !

 

I'm glad you've created the thread! I will also be sailing on the Miracle (again). I have booked a cabin for myself,  unsure if I'll be traveling alone. I'm a single female and I'm in my early fifties by age, but not my level of fun scale. 

I am a past onboard cruise director working with Debbie Popick's Singlescruise.com 

Nice to meet you!

Katharine

Katherine find us on the ship. There are now 19 of us.

I didn't see a roll call for this sailing? We are doing a Girls Trip for this sailing. Just for fun, just to get away & just to hang out. So far there are 18 of us. From 28 to 60 something years old. Time for some FUN!

You would get upgraded to the highest room available in your category (so an unobstructed balcony if one is available).  We paid for club orange on an upcoming cruise on the Koningsdam and were able to get a category V balcony room (because of club orange) even though we had booked a fully obstructed balcony.  We're excited to try the private club orange dining room.  You also are supposed to get priority boarding and tender boarding with club orange in case that's important to you.  We thought the cost of club orange was worth it for the room upgrade alone, but it's really up to you as to whether you think it's worth the cost or not

Did you feel it was worth it After your cruise?

We are booked on the June 18th Octantis sailing from Milwaukee. We have not been on an expedition cruise before. Any tips for newbies? Anything special that we should consider packing? Thanks for any information. 4 of us traveling in 2 Nordic balcony cabins.
