Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Miracle is a midsize Spirit class cruise ship that can accommodate about 2,124 passengers she's an older ship this ship entered service in 2004 which makes her 21 years old

the best part when you're cruising on Carnival Miracle is really the hospitality that you feel at every single point in the journey everyone is so friendly

we had perfect weather the entire cruise and all of our ports

I was blown away by the hospitality on this ship I haven't felt this rested after a cruise in a really long time

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay at the Residence Inn in Galveston the night before for convenient boarding
Use the Galveston Express parking lot for direct walk to the ship
Book an ocean suite for more space if traveling with family
Try the Guy's Burgers and Blue Iguana for great food options
At Half Moon Cay, you don't need to rent a beach chair as there's plenty of seating
