Creator's Key Takeaways

This was without doubt the dirtiest cruise ship cabin we've ever stayed in.

The moment we walked into our cabin on Carnival Miracle, it was obvious something was very wrong.

We've never been on a ship where cigarette smoke has been so constant and overpowering.

The ship just doesn't have the energy or the buzz we were expecting.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an ocean suite if you must sail on Carnival Miracle.
Purchase internet packages before sailing to save money.
Avoid the ship if you are sensitive to smoke or expect vibrant daytime activities.

YouTube Video Description

I cruised on Carnival Miracle with Carnival Cruise Line… and it was DISGUSTING. This was the dirtiest cruise ship experience we’ve ever had, and easily the worst cruise cabin we’ve ever stepped into. If you’ve ever wondered what a truly dirty cruise ship looks like, this cruise video shows it — unfiltered. The moment we walked into our cabin on Carnival Miracle, it was obvious something was very wrong. Dust everywhere. Thick grime on surfaces. Stains on the furniture. Pubic hairs on the bedside unit. And the worst of all – poo stains around the rim of the toilet. We’ve been on dozens of cruises, and we have never seen a cabin in this condition before. In this cruise video, we break down everything that went wrong during our Carnival Miracle sailing. The state of the cabin, the cleanliness issues across the ship, how the crew responded, and why this became our most disappointing experience with Carnival Cruise Line. If you’re thinking about booking Carnival Miracle, or you simply want to see what a dirty cruise looks like, this honest review will show you exactly what we dealt with on board. This video is completely independent. Carnival Cruise Line did not pay for or influence this review. Everything shown is based on our real experience on Carnival Miracle — raw, honest and exactly as it happened.
