I Cruised on Carnival Miracle… and It Was DISGUSTING!

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of their experience aboard the Carnival Miracle, noting a significant gap between the cruise line's branding and the actual onboard reality. The journey began with a three-hour embarkation delay in Lisbon characterized by poor communication and a lack of management presence. Upon entering their assigned balcony cabin, the travelers encountered extreme cleanliness issues, including biological waste and mold, which they described as the dirtiest cabin they had ever seen. Following an escalation to the hotel director, the passengers were moved to an ocean suite and issued a full refund. While the creators praised the exceptional customer service provided by the hotel director and found the ocean suite to be a comfortable, well-equipped environment, they remained critical of the ship's overall atmosphere. They noted that the decor was overwhelming and disorienting, the casino smoke permeated much of the ship, and daytime entertainment was notably sparse. While the main dining room food was surprisingly high quality and the Wi-Fi was reliable, the creators concluded that the ship felt budget and lacked the vibrancy expected from a major cruise line.
