lbfluffy Posted April 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2022 It has been 5 years since we have been on Carnival. We decided to take a family vacation with our two adult children. My daughter is a teacher. Her class starts back on Jan 3rd. We researched the best fit for us that would go over Christmas and New Years. The Miracle works perfectly since it would be a back to back. Plus we are from California and do not want to spend extra to fly. Our agent is working on the best deal for us. She gave me a quote for a quad balcony. Pretty good deal. I’m having her check an obstructed balcony as well. I know two cabins would be nice too, but that is $900 more even with putting my kids in an inside. I’m looking forward to our time as a family. Now I need to find dog sitter since my son are is my dog sitter. I know the Miracle has received poor reviews, but we sailed on her in 2014. Any cruise for us is a treat. We did Princess over New Year’s Eve last year and loved it. Does Carnival blow the foghorn as well at midnight? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT1962 Posted April 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2022 If by Quad Balcony you mean a standard balcony room that sleeps up to 4, you may want to check some photos / videos of the room and layout. I would only consider 4 to a standard balcony if 2 are children under 10. You may be a close family and it may be perfect for you, but for 4 adults, 2 rooms are usually much more comfortable, even if you have to get 2 inside cabins to make the budget work. The extra bathroom is as much of a factor as the sleeping arrangements for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, recently on the Radiance, it was slightly less expensive to get 2 connecting interior rooms than it would have been putting 3 of us in balcony room ( and having 2 bathrooms was the deciding factor for us - 3 adult females). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We sailed on the Miracle last NYE and I can confirm they blew the foghorn (I checked my video). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbfluffy Posted April 29, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I called my TA. She could not check a price for the second leg because carnival said they are not booking any inside or ocean views because they are almost fully sold out. I can check back when final payment is due and they will more than likely open up. However the price will more than likely be a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked and I can book interior and ocean view rooms for the BAJA MEXICOCARNIVAL MIRACLE Not sure why she can't.
