Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Miracle, for starters, just did turn 21. In fact, old enough to drink.

The crew on Carnival Miracle was fantastic. Really just top-notch hospitality.

This is a ship for someone who appreciates uniqueness. And classic cruising.

The food was touchandgo for us on this cruise, but ended up improving throughout.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book the Marriott Residence Inn in Galveston for a pre-cruise hotel.
βœ“If cruising in January or February from Galveston, bring a jacket.
βœ“Start your cruise by trying the soups and the Asian food station on the ship.
