The name Miracle might be what Carnival was shooting for, what they delivered is another thing. Not my first cruise, but it could be my last. Cruise was a 7 night from LA, Sea, Cabo, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Sea, Sea. I'll be fair in all aspects. Traveled with my family of 5 on two extended balconies. rooms 5140 and 6226
Embarkation: Completely smooth process. Plenty of baggage handlers to help you load. The screening, similar to that of an airport (with less restrictions on liquids) was seamless. The line to check in was a bit long at 130, but the staff was extremely helpful.
First Impression: Like most, we were excited on spending family time on the ship and they always look huge upon first glance. Lunch was served upon arrival and this would be the tone for the whole trip. The food was that of a hometown buffet. Very cafeteria food that was reheated over and over again. Extremely salty and limited choices. We had hopes for change, but it would take another "Miracle"
