truecruiser Posted September 27, 2007 #176 Share Posted September 27, 2007 i have read on many past threads about the miracle taking top honors in the industry for many years in a row ( i believe it is the "eagle" award?). anyway, does anyone know if this ship has continued to receive it, and if not, which ship got it instead?

JonnyCruiser Posted September 27, 2007 #180 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hey Miracle fans, can someone give me some information about the gym equipment on board? Just got off the Miracle last Monday ... The (rather short) jogging track is on Deck 11 Forward, 15.2 laps = 1 mile. Watch out for the mini-golfers! Deck 10 serves well as a walking path; I calculated (pretty accurately, I believe) that 3 times around = 1 mile. It's best early in the day (6:00 - 10:00 AM) before all the deck chairs are out and it becomes crowded with sunbathers. On some mornings you will find the cleaning crews have portions of it blocked off for 1/2 hour or so. I would *not* try jogging on Deck 10 - the surface can be quite slippery when wet. Its great for fast walking though. I walked 3 miles (nine laps, Deck 10) nearly every morning somewhere between 6:00 and 8:00 AM. With each lap around the ship's bow, I got to look into the multi-level gym and rarely saw more than two or three people in there at that time of day. While at sea, both of these decks can become quite windy, especially (obviously?) when walking/jogging towards the bow. Hold onto your hats; many (hats, that is) were blown overboard.

scoobie Posted September 27, 2007 #186 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi all, thanks to Sandi for starting this thread.... My family (wife and 3 teenage daughters:eek: :eek: ) will be on the Dec 17/07 sailing. I have a question about casino... Do they have hold'em poker on the ship?? Are they using the new electronic tables or do they have regular poker tables. Anyway, I don't think there is any possible way that we will have anything but the best of times. This may only be our fourth cruise, but the good things have far outweighed the bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi149 Posted September 27, 2007 Author #187 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Nah it's not neon or lavender. It was very nice. There was a nice classical trio in that lobby bar. I just loved that ship. It was so great. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobie - We also were on the Miracle in Sept - they did have Texas Hold'em every day at sea and nights (they were always announcing it). We don't play that game, so I don't know about the "table" type you are speaking of; but I do know quite a few people were enjoying themselves! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCsSSBF Posted September 27, 2007 #193 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I just booked this ship but looking in the roll call section I don't see a roll call. Anyone else going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted September 27, 2007 #194 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Scoobie - Here's the Roll Call for 12/17/07 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=605579 Jump on in if you haven't posted there already. I'm new to Cruise Critic and I don't know how I managed without it! I don't see a cigar bar, specifically. But I looked through the Capers posted earlier and I'm pretty sure cigars are allowed in the sports bar (that won't make the DD happy). I'm pretty sure it noted they were allowed somewhere else, but I've already forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also smoke in Sam's Piano Bar and Frankie and Johnnie's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
