pmoniz Posted April 8, 2009 #2301 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Karen - I feel the same way! Loved the Miracle! It took a little arm twisting to get my husband to sail on her again - not because he didn't love it - but because he likes to see and explore new ships! But the itinerary this time is different so that convinced him! Can't wait! Luv2Cruz - Wish I could join you again next year! But hubby would kill me same ports and same ship! yikes ! But you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra1365 Posted April 8, 2009 #2303 Share Posted April 8, 2009 My son and his fiance sailed Miracle last year to Bermuda. They had a good time. We are booked for the Oct 7 sailing out of Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoniz Posted April 8, 2009 #2304 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Now too bad the Bermuda cruise wasn't next year that would have been something to think about!! Oh, I don't mind at all repeating, but getting DH to agree is a different story LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS920 Posted April 9, 2009 #2305 Share Posted April 9, 2009 So does anyone know if any updates were done when the Miracle was in dry dock? I know about the propulsion system being repaired. I'll be sailing her in Sept and Dec. Can't wait! How is the food in the dining room? I have a fussy hubby and he wasn't impressed with the food on the Inspiration.

pmoniz Posted April 9, 2009 #2306 Share Posted April 9, 2009 JoAnn - I had read that they had installed a wi-fi system on the ship and also added the Club 02 area for the teens. As far as the dining room food. I thought it was great! My cousin came along with us and he's picky too and enjoyed it very much. It's better than anything I can cook so to me that's a bonus! Have a great cruise or cruises! The Miracle is a great ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgm0612 Posted April 9, 2009 #2307 Share Posted April 9, 2009 For the most part, I thought the food was very good. There was one dish..........pasta with a mushroom sauce & a small sauteed chicken breast on top...........that I didn't care for. When our waiter (Ogden) inquired as to why I wasn't eating my meal, I told him it wasn't to my liking. He tried everything in his power to get me to order something else from the menu, but I declined. I can't say enough great things about Ogden & our bustboy, Suyanna. We were seated at table 316, upper level. pmoniz.............have a fantastic time and give a big "Whoo Hoo" to Malcom the cruise director. He was very entertaining!

pmoniz Posted April 10, 2009 #2310 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Karen - I'll be sure to pass on the "Whoo Hoo" to Malcolm. Brett was the cruise director last year when we were onboard. He was OK some people didn't care for him, but I thought he was alright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzcruise Posted May 4, 2009 #2311 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for all the information. Sailing on the Miracle in less than 2 weeks. Our first cruise on a Spirit line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgm0612 Posted May 4, 2009 #2312 Share Posted May 4, 2009 pmoniz.......I recently read on CC that Malcom took sick (I believe he was hospitalized ?) and was not on the ship. I'm not sure if he's back on or if he's been assigned to another ship. Please update us when you get back. Have a fantastic cruise..............and be sure to order a "Kiss on the Lips" for me. It was my favorite frozen drink! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole721 Posted May 5, 2009 #2313 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hey all! We'll be sailing the Miracle again in a few weeks. I'll do an insanely long and picture-laden review again on my blog, but if anyone has any specific questions about the Miracle (except for "Can you take a picture of room # xxxx" because I don't think I'll have time to go find 20 rooms ;) ), please let me know and I'll try to find out an answer or take a picture of it!

jjonesing Posted May 5, 2009 #2314 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Just got back from our Miracle cruise and no Malcom. Brent was funny and we liked his sidekicks, Sam and Simon. I just had my "first" Kiss on the Lips and I loved it. Mmm...mango! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belizemama Posted May 5, 2009 #2315 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hi Nicole, Just wondering if there is any chance that you can get a picture of an aft balcony for me. We will actually have 5268 but any aft balcony will do. I just want to see the size difference over a standard balcony. Now I am not talking about the aft wraparound. I know they are huge but we aren't lucky enough to have one. Thanks in advance if you do get a picture. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 5, 2009 #2316 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Belizemama - I know there have been recent threads discussing the Spirit-class aft balconies. I changed my booking from Deck 5 to Deck 4 because of several of the comments. I have a meeting now, but can search for it later. Or you can look for it. Do an "advanced search" with "aft balcony" as the keywords and select only the Carnival board. I bet you'll find it fairly easily. There were pics posted in those threads.

Brett was OK, but kind of annoyed me the way he talked with his hands straight out at his side like a penguin! LOL!! PS - I will absolutely have one of the Kiss on the Lips for you! And then maybe one more for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabFourLover Posted May 5, 2009 #2318 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Karen - that's sad to hear about Malcom! I was kind of looking forward to a new CD. Brett was OK, but kind of annoyed me the way he talked with his hands straight out at his side like a penguin! LOL!! I was on Miracle last July 2008. Is Brett "big sexy"? I wasn't that impressed with him. I've only ever been on 2 cruises, the first with Princess 10 years ago, so my experiences are very limited. But the CD on that Princess ship was EVERYWHERE! He was so much fun and the assistant CDs too. We knew them all by name, ran into them all over the ship. The only time I saw the Miracle CD was on stage giving presentations or on the TV. I'm not even sure he HAD assistants! That Pricess ship was huge and I was forever getting lost, turning the wrong way for everything right up to the day we were getting off. It seemed every time I turned around (the wrong way LOL) the CD or one of his staff was there, laughing and pointing me in the right direction. It got to the point that when one of them would see me, they would automatically go " it's that way...." assuming that whichever way I was headed was the wrong way ROFLMAO!!! Now this was a ship with like 3000 people on it but these guys recognized me and helped me out over and over again, and made it so much fun to get lost that even if I wasn't I sometimes pretended I was! I'm going back on Miracle in November. Maybe Malcom will be back by them, ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoniz Posted May 5, 2009 #2319 Share Posted May 5, 2009 No, Brett was not Big Sexy. Big Sexy was the assistant and his real name was Josh I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo925 Posted May 5, 2009 #2320 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hi there- We leave on the Miracle in 10 days, and I was wondering if anyone knew if they were selling those DOD cards on her? Or even the specialty coffee card would be nice... TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUPY48 Posted May 6, 2009 #2323 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I believe it's because deck 4 is the only one with a protective overhang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
