Victory or Miracle

[ufmurphys]

We have cruised only once with Disney. We are looking forward to a 7 day cruise in May 2005. We have heard such good things about Carnival. We have a 10 and 8 year old. We don't gamble and drink just a little. Will spend most of the time together as a family. Any suggestions on which boat. Miracle looks great especially because it is new. Victory is a little cheaper and we wanted the stop in Ochos Rios for the Dunn River Falls. I will appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Go for the Miracle. Smaller, with a better overall layout. Victory seemed just too crowded (and GREEN).

We did both this year and I would have to vote for the Miracle. It's much easier to navigate. We had several "can't get there from here" moments on the Victory. Don't get me wrong, I'd go back on the Victory in heartbeat but, if you have to choose, I'd go with the Miracle. Have fun!

I would have to agree. I have also sailed on both and loved the Miracle. But I also would not hesitate to go back on the Victory. But....given the choice I would definitely choose the Miracle.
