soazlaney Posted October 31, 2008 #2226 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm sorry if this has been asked before - I know that Cat.11 suite 4226 on the Miracle has a stairwell next to it so it is not very desirable, but does anyone know if you can have the divider on the balcony between it and 4228 the aft wrap cabin opened? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkmmah Posted November 5, 2008 #2228 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Does anyone have the Southern 8 day capers to share? We leave in about 2 weeks and would love to see the capers to increase our enthusiasm even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted November 14, 2008 #2230 Share Posted November 14, 2008 How about capers for the Western itinerary? I mean, I now only have just under 400 days to obsess about what to do! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billfish Posted December 26, 2008 #2233 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Does anyone have any up to date info on how Miracle is doing? Vibration issues or anything? Hope everyone has a great holiday! We are on the Miracle on 1/24/09 and we have had an itenerary change. No longer visiting St. Liucia it has been replaced by Grand Turk, BUMMER. Still going to have a Great Time with the " MIRACLE WAITERS " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted December 29, 2008 #2234 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hope they get the propulsion issues fixed during the dry dock. And I hope the poor folks in Grand Turk are managing to recover from the hurricane. They really had an incredible amount of damage. I'm still amazed that no one was killed. Look forward to reviews of the "revised" itineraries. Maybe, during dry dock, they'll replace 1/2 of the purple "grapes" in the dining room with white ones. After all, wine comes from both white and purple grapes, no? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicardoC Posted December 29, 2008 #2235 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Did the Dec 31st cruise change? We booked the last cabin for that on in one awesome price last Wed(1 week before the cruise) and they didn't tell us anything about changes...maybe they gave us the new itinerary or not? I'm confused....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe4all Posted January 1, 2009 #2237 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Just got off the Miracle this a.m. They are definitely having propulsion problems - if you look at the wake, the right prop is fine, the left hardly leaves any wake at all. Luckily, it really didn't affect us. We all had a great time. Great staff, food was just okay. We are not "foodies" - but some of the meals were not as good as the other ships we have been on. Grand Turk was also fine - no complaints. Great weather on the cruise, for the most part. Our stewards and waiters (hi Hary and Vitor) were fantastic. We had cabin 6232, and the balcony was to die for. Spent a lot of time out there. Embark and debark were a breeze - got to the port at 10:30, were in zone 1, and were on board by 11:30. Took us 5 minutes to get off the ship and thru customs. (were zone 15) I do prefer the larger ships, but would sail a Spirit class ship again. If anyone has questions, I'll try to answer them. Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New Year! A few questions. Did they use the Stabilizers? You had great weather, so did the ship sail smoothly or was there any excessive movement and or vibration? If you were due an OBC for the fuel surcharge and the itinerary change was it automatically put on your S&S card? Sounds like you had a great cruise.

pe4all Posted January 1, 2009 #2239 Share Posted January 1, 2009 In anwer to your questions: many people complained about the rocking. Some crew said the stabilizers were not working. When we left Fort Lauderdale, the boat was really rocking - more than I have ever felt on any other ship. We had one pretty bad night - there were actually "sick" bags by the elevators, and along the walls. This was due to very high winds we hit. Other than those two occasions, it was smooth sailing. No major vibrations that we felt. We did get an obc for the fuel supplement, and $25 pp for the change of port. (missing St. Lucia and going to Grand Turk instead) This was all posted automatically to our s and s card. We also got our Carnival excursion for St. Lucia credited back to our s and s card. Oh - and they seem to have dropped the price of bingo cards, for those interested. On our April Freedom cruise, the strip of 3 cards cost $20. On this cruise, the strip cost $10!

Jackrjc Posted January 1, 2009 #2240 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Pe4all Thanks for the response and information. There has been a lot of speculation on these topics. It's great getting info from someone just off the ship. And $10 is alot better than $20. Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMS920 Posted January 1, 2009 #2243 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Thank you for the dry dock update. Any idea what improvements are being made to the ship? JoAnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoyle999 Posted January 1, 2009 #2244 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Thank you for the dry dock update. Any idea what improvements are being made to the ship? JoAnn It's an emergency dry dock to fix the propulsion problems. We are the last sailing right before dry dock. Our roll call is keeping our fingers crossed that A-we still sail and B-service does not suffer due to the dry dock right after we get off.

NCTribeFan Posted January 1, 2009 #2245 Share Posted January 1, 2009 If interested, I posted a review on CC for our 12/6 southern cruise with the MiraCLE Mianiacs. Can you give a link to the review? I never get tired of reading reviews of ships I've sailed and plan on sailing. As the the barf bags, they had them out on Fascination a couple of weeks ago (and there was "evidence" in one of the ladies' room that someone hadn't made it in time. ewwww). I think we only had 9-10' seas but it was very, very choppy. Thankfully, I seem to be cured now that I take ginger (started before Miracle cruise last December; have used it for 3 cruises now (2 with some rough seas) with excellent results). I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never gotten sik before on a cruise but I am going on the Miracle and with the problems it is having, I figure I should just bring some in case!

pe4all Posted January 2, 2009 #2247 Share Posted January 2, 2009 My niece and nephew (7/8 years old) went to Camp Carnival, which is located in the bow area of Miracle. The ship was rocking and rolling so much, more than 1/2 the kids got ill. Many of the camp counselors also got seasick. The dining room had a lot of empty spaces that evening!

serene56 Posted January 8, 2009 #2249 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi - Looking for details regarding partial obstruction from lifeboats in Cabins 5164 & 5174 - appreciate all & any information. Thank you - in advice for the help! lifeboat will come up to your railing- you will not be able to look down into the waters but your view out will be fine. Balcony is very narrow. 5174 sits directly between 2 lifeboats so that is an awesome location. your other cabin is smack dab in the middle of a life boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
